Hope I have this right. Am I correct that Hillsboro is in Henry Co? Prarrie Twp?
I am searching for an Elibeth [Elizabeth] Conwell [Cornwell, Cornell] NICHOLS who died 6
Jan 1880 in Hillsboro, IN. She was the wife of William Henry Nichols b 1844 - d 1913
Suffolk Co., NY .
The way my grandmother tells it is that her grandmother died in a house fire with a
daughter, Sarah.
William H. Nichols' civil war service record, Co. D 127th NYVOLS, states that Elibeth
Nichols died in Hillsboro, Indiana Jan 6, 1880. A son John (my gt gndfather) was born 27
Jan 1877 in Centerville, MD. Why they moved around so much is another mystery to me.
Any info on these people wouild be greatly appreciated. I toured through the area many
years ago. Was told that there were no newspapers of the area surviving and that the court
house records were destroyed some years ago.
Any ideas? Anyone?
Appreciate your time in reading this message,
