Sulgrove's book says Jesse Wright lived in Decatur Township. The book
gave the township #, range # and section #, but I'm having trouble
locating Jesse's property. Is there a map somewhere to help me find
where this land was in Marion Co.
Any good web sites for this appreciated!

Funeral Notice of Matthew Michael Walsh
South Boston Inquirer
South Boston, Mass.
Saturday, August 13, 1904
Matthew Michael Walsh
The funeral of Matthew Michael Walsh, one of South Boston's most
highly esteemed and respected citizens, took place Monday morning at
his home, 404 East Seventh Street. Although it was the desire of the
family to have the funeral private, there were a large number of
sorrowful mourners and friends present, and many beautiful floral
tributes were received, demonstrating the appreciation in which the
deceased was held. High mass of requiem was celebrated at 9 o'clock in
the Gate of Heaven church. Rev. T. Brennan officiated. The church
was crowded with bereaved friends and relatives, including some of the
best-known people of the peninsular district. At the close of the mass
"Calvary" was rendered by the church choir. Miss Mary O'Reily
discharged the duty of organist. Mr. Walsh was a well-known labor
advocate and was a recognized master at the machinist trade, one that
he pursued many years with the most gratifying success. The deceased
was also a naval (Civil War) veteran, having served gallantly on the
"Old Macedonia," and an active member of the International
Association of Machinists. Mr. Walsh is survived by a sister, four
daughters and two sons. The burial took place at Taunton, Mass., the
birthplace of the deceased.
Notes to Genealogy of Matthew Michael WALSH, 1837 - 1904, his
children, his wife, her family and his sister's family.
Matthew Michael WALSH was b. 1837 in Boston, MA. He was
baptised at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Boston, MA on October 8,
1837. Sponsors were: Matthew BUTLER and Mary O'FLAHERTY.
Matthew's parents were: John WALSH b. ~ 1812 in Ireland (son of
Matthew WALSH, Sr. of Waterford City and Bridget ---, of Ireland)
and Ellen DINEEN b. ~1812 in Ireland, (dau. of Charles DINEEN of
Ireland). John WALSH arrived in Boston in 1829 from Waterford
City, Waterford. Ellen DINEEN may have arrived in Boston in 1841.
Matthew's parents had one other child, Mary WALSH, who was
baptised in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston (before moving to
Taunton) on May 30, 1844. Sponsors: Patrick WALSH (who I think
is the brother of John WALSH) and Judith Ann FLAHERTY.
Mary WALSH m. Patrick KEYES in 1870 in Taunton, MA.
Matthew WALSH m. Ellen Lawrence EAGAN, b. 1841 in Taunton,
MA, parents of: Michael EAGAN II, b. ~1815 in Kilkenny, IRELAND
(son of Michael EAGAN I & Catherine --- of Ireland) and Julia
DWYER b. ~ 1824 in Ireland (dau. of Thomas DWYER of Ireland &
Mary --- of Ireland.)
Both the WALSH and EAGAN families lived in Boston by 1837, as I
saw several baptisms in the families at the Cathetral of the Holy Cross in
Boston (I also saw the DINEEN's, the DWYER's). At that time, I
believe that John and Ellen WALSH had an inn in Boston. By the early
1840's, both these WALSH and EAGAN families moved to Taunton.
While living in Taunton, a Mary BRADY always lived with John &
Ellen WALSH, and were buried beside each other. I believe that Mary
BRADY was John WALSH's sister, nee Mary WALSH. I also believe
that Patrick WALSH was John's brother. And probably several more.
In the 1860 Taunton, MA census, John WALSH and Ellen lived beside
Mary BRADY (then 67), and her dau., Ellen CALLIN (40, wid.) and
children: John CALLIN (16), Matilda CALLIN (18) & Margaret
CALLIN (16).
Matthew Michael WALSH and Ellen Lawrence EAGAN had children
(all in Taunton, MA):
--- Mary Isabel WALSH b. 1868, m. William EDGERTON
--- Francis M. WALSH, b. ~ 1869, m. Sarah (Sadie) J. KENNEDY
--- Julia A. WALSH, b. 1874 (didn't marry)
--- Charles John WALSH, b. 1879, d. while single
--- Ellen Alice WALSH, b. 1872, m. Mr. MANION
--- Anna Louise WALSH, b. 1877, m. Edward DALEY.
Michael EAGAN and Julia DWYER, (parents of Ellen Lawrence
EAGAN who married Matthew Michael WALSH), had children:
(--- Ellen Lawrence EAGAN b. 1840, m. Matthew Michael WALSH)
--- Mary A. EAGAN, b. 1843, m. Martin B. HOYE of Taunton
--- Michael EAGAN III b, ~ 1846, m. Martha; NJ, Indianapolis (below)
--- Thomas EAGAN b. ~ 1847 (l. in Providence in 1895)
--- William EAGAN b. ~ 1851 (l. in Providence in 1895)
--- Julia EAGAN (2), b. ~ 1854, m. William J. EDGERTON
--- James EAGAN b. 1844 - 1847 (l. in Taunton in 1895)
--- John EAGAN b. 1842 - 1843 (may be d. by 1895)
--- Julia EAGAN (1) b. 1848, d. young
Michael EAGAN arrived in New York in 1834 from Rith Greene,
Kilkenny.
Michael EAGAN had a brother, John EAGAN (b. 1825, Ireland), who
lived in Taunton as well. His brother m. Catherine CUDAHY. They
had children: Catherine EAGAN -1856, Michael EAGAN -1858, Julia
EAGAN-1860, John EAGAN -1864 and Mary EAGAN -1866. Both
brothers lived in Taunton, MA. John arrived in New York in 1847
from Urlingford, Kilkenny.
In the Indiana census in 1880, Michael EAGAN, III, then age 45, was
living in Indianapolis. He lived with his wife, Martha, age 28, b. in New
Jersey; and had children: James EAGAN 1875, Mary EAGAN 1878,
and Francis EAGAN <1.
In the Indiana census in 1900, Michael EAGAN, III was age 61, b.
1838, widowed; dau. Mary age 23, b. 1876, and son Francis L., age 20,
b. 1879.
Matthew Michael WALSH, father of Francis WALSH, above, who m.
Sadie KENNEDY (b. in Nova Scotia in 1873, dau. of Michael
KENNEDY and Mary ---) had three sons:
--- Andrew F. WALSH (1/1893 in Taunton)
--- Matthew F. WALSH (3/1894) in Taunton
--- Harry A. WALSH (7/1897 in Taunton)
In the Worcester, MA census of 1920, Sadie J. (Kennedy) WALSH
was a widow, age 43; Andrew WALSH was out of the house and not
listed; Harry A. WALSH was 22, single, (b. 1898); and Matthew F.
WALSH was 25, single, (b. 1895).
Finally, when Matthew Michael WALSH was age 62, widowed, he left
his home in Taunton, and went to live with his only sibling, Mary Walsh
(who m. Patrick KEYES) in 404 East Seventh Street, South Boston.
The KEYES family lived before that in Springfield, MA. Besides
Mary KEYES, Patrick KEYES and Matthew WALSH, they had
children who were living with them in 1900:
--- Mary F. KEYES (b. 1878)
--- Elizabeth KEYES (b. 1880)
--- James M. KEYES (b. 1885)
Matthew Michael WALSH lived with his sister until he passed away in
1904. Matthew's funeral was in South Boston. He was buried in
Brittania Street in Taunton, MA, beside his parents, John WALSH and
Ellen DINEEN, his wife, Ellen Lawrence EAGAN, & his son, Charles
WALSH. Beside them is Mary BRADY, (nee WALSH) his aunt.
Misc:
Ellen Lawrence EAGAN, wife of Matthew WALSH (above) stood up
for two marriages in Boston:
1844 -- Cathedral of the Holy Cross -- Elizabeth DENEEN & John
CHAMBERS
1829 -- Cathedral of the Holy Cross -- Ann DENNIN & Hugh RILEY
These are probably sisters of Ellen DINEEN.
Also: In 1845, same church, Patrick WALSH m. Bridget DINEEN.
Perhaps brothers married sisters?
Also: From Missing Friends, 26 September 1840. "Of Nicholas
WALSH, a native of Johnstown, city of Waterford, Ireland. When last
heard from, he worked on the Worcester Railroad, from whence he is
supposed to have gone to the state of New York. Also, his sister Mary,
who is married to John O'BRIEN, who was a contract on the
Providence Railroad when last heard from. Should this meet their eye
or that of anyone knowing them, they will confer a great favor on their
brother Patrick [WALSH] by writing to him immediately to the care of
E.{Ellen) and J.(John) WALSH, 17 Federal Street, or to the Pilot
office."
Also: I have some very old tintype photos of Michael EAGAN, Julia
DWYER and Matthew WALSH and Ellen EAGAN. I have a photo of
Mary Isabel (Walsh) EDGERTON in c. 1940.
I am looking for information on the Coyner familes that were in Marion Co. IN in the 1860's. I have a Mary Susan Coyner who was born 02-29-1868 in Marion Co. IN. She was the daughter James Seymore Coyner. Who I believe was the son of Martin Coyner.
Mary Susan Coyner was first married to Leonidas Oldham who died and she married Riley Scott Ragsdale in 1910 in Marion Co. IN.
Need Information on this family
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

New to this list and looking for information or descendants related to
the Jesse WRIGHT who was living in Marion Co in the early 1800's. He
married Mary (Polly) Brown 10 February 1825 in Wayne Co, IN and, from
deed records found in Wayne Co, IN, we know the couple was living in
Marion Co, IN in 1831.
We looked at B. R. Sulgrove's "History of Indianapolis and Marion
County, Indiana" (L. H. Everts & Co. Philadelphia. 1884, and found these
two short bios on pg. 511:
"Jesse Wright, a native of North Carolina, came to Decatur [Twp] from
the Whitewater country, and settled on the northwest quarter of section
29, township 15, range 3, the same property now owned by the family of
the late Jacob Hanch. He was a positive and an energetic man, but a very
contentious one, and this latter characteristic made him an Ishmael
among
the people of the community in which he lived, as was shown by the
course he took at the death of his first wife (he was twice married),
who was a most estimable woman. Although there was a public burial
ground within half a mile of his home, he buried her in the woods on the
bluff overlooking the swampy lands southwest of his residence. he was a
man in good circumstances, yet after selling his farm to Jacob Hanch,
about the year 1838, he left the country and removed to Iowa without
erecting even the rudest or simplest stone to mark her resting place;
and there are few, if any, now living who can identify the spot where he
made her lonely grave."
"Aaron Wright, brother of Jesse, was also a North Carolinian by birth.
He came from Union county to Decatur township, and settled on the lands
now owned and occupied by John Hurd. He was as honest, upright man, who
attended strictly to his own business, and never engaged in controversy
or contention with his neighbors. He died in 1877, upwards of seventy
years of age, leaving a son, Jesse Wright who has been for two terms
trustee of Wayne township, and is one of its most prominent farmers;
also a daughter, who is Mrs. John Doty, and another living near Council
Bluffs, Iowa."
Next we looked at 1830 IN census records, figuring the couple was
probably living in Marion Co. at that time and found just one Jesse in
the whole county; that one living in Perry Twp. Sulgrove's book states
the area of Perry township changed during the formative years of the
county so this could still be the same Jesse from Decatur Twp.
We've searched high and low, finding no trace of Mrs. Mary (Brown)
Wright in 1850 censuses. We think there's a good possibility the Jesse,
bro. to Aaron, could be Mary Brown Wright's husband.
The bio states Jesse "was twice married." A search of the "Indiana
Marriages before 1850" web site produced a marriage for a Jesse WRIGHT
and Catherine Sulgrove 11 September 1836 in Marion Co, IN. Was
Catherine Sulgrove was the second wife of this Jesse in Decatur Twp?
There were Sulgroves living in Decatur Twp, near the above Jesse WRIGHT.
And the bio would explain why we can't find Mary Brown in the 1850
censuses! If Mary was the first wife, she wasn't alive in 1850!
Further study of this Jesse Wright is necessary. Meantime if someone
connects to Jesse, Aaron, and/or the SULGROVEs, please write me. Any
clues on this family would be a help!

I have the obituary for my father-inlaw's 1/2 brother Bernard J Taylor ,He
died in Indianapolis IN October 30, 1992. I would love to contact his
family. I doubt seriously that these people know of our existance. William
Garstang Taylor Jr (Bernard's father) had two sons, born in 1907 & 1909. We
have no intent, other than to connect with relatives and compare the family
history I have collected and possibly fill in some blanks. Bernard's 1992
obituary lists wife Betty J Overman Taylor, sons Michael S and Patrick A
Taylor and daughter Barbara A Hensley. I was also encouraged to hear that
his sister Francis Lorraine McCaslin and brother Richard C Taylor were alive
in 1992. If anyone knows these folks please let them know we are searching
for them. If anyone can send the address for Shirley Brothers Washington
Memorial Chapel or St. Phillip Neri Catholic Church where I can make further
inquiries that could be a great help. Thanks, Sue Taylor mamasnert(a)aol.com
Hello Marion Co. Researchers,
I have lots of photos and information of Arsenal Technical High School
and some Graduation List. I did an article for Genealogical Society of
Marion County of "Tech", as I attended there myself.
Yes, Tech is on the same grounds where soldiers were based and a Civil War
battle was fought -- Battle of the Polks Run. Some of the same buildings
were there when I attended School there.
Anyone interested and wanting more information of Tech, please send me an
email
at BarbHutch1(a)aol.com.

To Bonnie, Char, John, and Bob who kindly defined A. T. S. for me as the
Arsenal Technical School, I thank you. It was interesting to learn that it
was built on a Civil War camp site (thus the name), that it is still in
operation, and that it is known as Tech High School -- none of which I knew.
Many thanks to you all for your generous help.
All best,

John,
I live in San Diego, CA, and have been looking for info on the internet to
trace my grandparents family from Indianapolis. If you have time to trace
their ancestors, or to get birth, death, and marriage certificates
(hopefully with their parents names, etc), I can pay a nominal fee to get
this done.
Please let me know if you can do this.
Thanks,

Probably means Arsenal Technical School--My brother went to Arsenal
Technical High School in Indianapolis in the '50's. It was known as
Tech High School.

Hello, Listers --
If somebody is listed as an Instructor at A. T. S. in 1923 in
Indianapolis -- what does A. T. S. stand for? I'm guessing "(something)
Technical School" but that is a wild guess.
I'd appreciate any clues.

Searching for info on Henry HINKLE - he could have been born in OH or IN in
approximately 1833 - he lost an eye fighting in the Civil War. His daughter
Ida May Hinkle was born in Feb 1860 in Connorsville, IN. She married Daniel
Webster ROBERTS in March 1881 in Indianapolis, IN.
If anyone has access to the 1870 Federal Census for Marion County, IN, Henry
Hinkle is referenced on Page 138 in E.D. 1. I would certainly appreciate a
lookup for others in his household.
