If anyone goes near the Jennings Co IN courthouse I would love to get a death
certificate of George. Will pay postage and zerox.

Elsie S. 22, F, IN, Keeps House
Sidney, M, IN
De_____, Charles, M
_______, ______, 14, F
now the 14 year old girl could be James's sister Bell E. Clarkson. She
was born in 1856.
Charles De___ could be a Charles Denton- a cousin maybe. Elsie would
die soon because James would marry Margaret Heath 31 Mar 1880.
Would appreciate any info on James clarkson being commissioner of
Jennings Co. When did he run? What ticket? Any controversy? Is he
listed in the "Way we were" book or "History of Jennings co"
book??????
If anyone finds George or James in 1880 census I would appreciate a
heads up.
Thanks. Donna
