I descend from William Felton Denney who was one of the first settlers of
Jay County, IN and who is buried at the Pisquah Cemetery outside Fort
Recovery, Ohio. He was my great great grandfather and he left many
descendants around the Jay County, IN/Mercer County, Ohio areas. My great
grandfather was Harrel Felton Denney. My query concerns Harrel and his wife
Caroline, his wife was Caroline Graves, daughter of Henderson Graves, the
first Sheriff of Jay County. Harrel's DOB Aug 4, 1827 and DOD Jun 20, 1908
and Carolines DOB Oct 16, 1834 and DOD Unk. My problem is, I can not
determine where Harrel and Caroline died and where they are buried. I have a
obituary for Harrel which left some hints but they do not seem to pan out,
it stated he died on the land his father (William) had pioneered as a grant
in Jay County Indiana, if this was so, that means he died in Jay County and
should have been recorded there . I have checked with the Jay County Health
Dept and there is no Harrel Denney recorded there which means either he was
not recorded as a death or died elsewhere. Caroline was still alive in 1907.
She may have died in Grant County, near Marion, IN as there are indications
she was living with a son there.
Can anyone help me here!
