Message Board Post:
I'm looking for any information on the following people who lived in Harrison County:
Joseph Blair who was born in Virginia, lived in Washington, Harrison, Indiana and
Harrison, Harrison, Indiana and was married to a woman named Jane (possibly Jane
Matthews).
One of his son's was named Jonathan Blair who was born on 5 Jul 1834 in Harrison,
Harrison, Indiana. Jonathan Blair fought in the Civil War (Union), and later moved to
Nebraska where his great great granddaughther, and my mother, Eleanor Blair was born.
Jonathan was Married to Sarah Blume who was the daughter of John Blume and Mary A. ?
Jonathan and Sarah had a Son named Charles W. Blair who was born in Indiana, most likely
in Harrison County, before they moved to Nebraska.
John Blume was born in Virginia, and lived in Scott, Harrison in 1860. He also died in
Harrison County.
I'm also looking for Information on Purva (Epurva or Pervy) Weaver, the wife of
Charles W. Blair. Her father was Philip Weaver, born in Virginia and who lived in
Washington, Harrison County in at least the years of 1850-1880. He was very likely
married to Rebecca Breeden. Philip's parents may have been Conrad Weaver and Elibeth
Swartz, both of Virginia.
Rebecca Breeden was born in Indiana. Her parents were James Breeden and Sarah Hockman.
James's parenets may have been Briant Breeden and Christina Bird. His wife was Sarah
Hockman, daughter of Abraham Hockman and Barbara Sharrer.
I believe that all of these folks lived and died in Harrison County. Some of them may be
burried in the Potato Run Cemetary, Harrison County, Indiana or Union Chapel Cemetery,
Crawford, Indiana. Purva Weaver is the exception. She lived in Ashland, Saunders,
Nebraska (where she is buried), and died in Blaine Montana.
