I am planning on visiting Clark Co and Jefferson Co this summer and would
like to obtain any additional information that may be available on these
branches of my family.
I have recently made contact with cousins living in Clark Co, and would
be interested in locating additional ones in Jefferson Co. In reviewing
the above FGS, I see that, in addition to my great grandparents, Wm Henry
and Lydia (Stoner) Harrison, buried in Madison, Jefferson Co, there are
others buried in Jefferson Co also. e. g. John B. Stoner (1841-1901),
and Thomas H. Stoner (1852-1926).
I would like to communicate with any other researcher with data on this
family.
I would appreciate it if someone could identify the location of Prospect
Cem in Jefferson Co, IN, and direct me to locations which would most
likely hold records or other researcher's findings. i.e. Courthouse,
Library, Genealogical Society, ??
I will be looking forward to your responses!
