My Great Grandmother Mary Eveline Townsend was born in Indiana 1840 died
1901 either in Indianapolis or possibly Arkansas. She first married William
Curtis Morgan of Washington County, Indiana in 1858. After his death she
Married William J Johnson in 1869. William Johnson and Mary Townsend had 3
children George, Hattie, and Daisy Johnson. In the late 1890's William and
Mary moved to Arkansas along with my Grandparents Benjamin Harrison Coatney
and his wife Hattie Morgan daughter of William Curtis Morgan and Mary
Townsend. Around 1899 Benjamin and Hattie returned to Indiana and were
living in Indianapolis. I do not know if William and Mary Johnson returned
with them or not.
Here is where it get a bit confusing. In the notes my father (Albert Edison
Coatney born 1901 in Indianapolis) left me he mentioned that Mary Townsend
Morgan Johnson died in Arkansas. In the US Government Civil War files on my
G Grandfather William Curtis Morgan it states that Mary Townsend Morgan
Johnson died in Indianapolis. I have no idea when or where William J Johnson
died. Nor do I have any information where either one of them are buried. I
do know that there son George Johnson died and is buried in Martinsville,
Indiana.
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

Marian it's just tons of fun to be of some help. Usually strike out though!
When you help others, you sometimes learn more about your family. Case in
point. Your Hezekiah Smith Sr. I have Ward's in my Messersmith - Seerley -
Smith lineage. In an old document I have it mentions some of the Ward's
were buried in the Washington churchyard. In researching this 1823
Presbyterian log church, it just happened to be several blocks south of
where Hezekiah was first buried!
It was started because Hiram Bacon & wife wanted to give land north of their
house at 57th & Keystone Av. John Johnson, son of Jeremiah was an elder.
This earliest of Marion County churches had a graveyard north of the log
church. This would place it just below the Dawson and Culbertson graveyards
at Kessler Blvd. & Keystone, where Hezekiah was buried.
Hiram knew Henry Ward Beecher who often preached at this church. The Bacon's
used their big barn west of their house to house run away slaves before
sending them north to the Quaker community in Noblesville. Hiram Bacon was
a major link to the Underground Railroad.
Hiram's wife bought some cows so she could sell the milk and make cream.
The problem started when the Deacons of the church found out she was milking
the cows on the Sabbath. When they threatened to expel the Bacon's, the
very people who helped form the church, a rift occurred and some members
went to Broad Ripple to church.
By 1829 the church was abandon and was torn down but the churchyard
remained. This was the very first burial grounds in these parts.
Ebenezer Lutheran wasn't formed until 1836. I have found many of the
families of the people buried in these different cemeteries were relocated
to Crown Hill, before Kessler put his graveled road through around 1910.
Many were lost to progress. Farmed over or newer building built over these
cemeteries. Hope to learn more about this group of people who lived in the
area.
I know your Smith's had a large dairy in the area north of the cemeteries by
Glendale, and maybe Hiram Bacon's large dairy was the precursor to it. Bob

You are right, of course about the farmers. I will try to get the
agriculture census as you suggested.
My 3GG is a brick wall for me. She was born Hester/Esther/Hetabel COX
in 1827 at Indianapolis, according to her obit. I have been searching
for her parents for quite a while now. She did not stay in Marion
county, but was in Johnson county, Iowa where she married in 1846. A
strong possibility to be her father (mainly because he was in Johnson
county, IA around 1846) was a character named Diocletion COX. Believe
it or not, with a name like that, I have found only a few tidbits on
him (being in Owen county and Parke county, IN) but can't place him in
Indianapolis, nor can I find any family links on the guy! Anyway, I am
keeping an open mind and looking for any COX that fits.
Thanks again for your suggestions!

My father worked for Wayne Cox, the grain elevator man in Rosedale, for a few years before starting his own business. I do have contact information for his daughters. I'll just forward this e-mail to them and see if it rings any bells. Who knows?

Unfortunately, there were a lot of Cox folks around back then, LOL.
There was one, Diocletion Cox, that is a person of interest for me in
my search for the parents of my 3GG, Hester Cox, that did live around
Rosedale in Parke county around 1840. He had a milling business, I
believe it was tin. I have quite a bit of research on the Parke county
Cox families but never found a link to this Diocletion.

Not one signature appeared to be shaky, which would indicate an older gent,
and about 49 names I couldn't make out.If I couldn't read the whole name, I
had to move on.Maybe the petitioner stood out on the courthouse steps to get
signatures? Bob
This 1825 petition was from the William H. English collection, but not sure
from which library. It was copied from a very crumbling original and may
not be able to be viewed again. Understand that Marion County, before
Statehood was considered Delaware County, and later not only included the
area that is now Johnson and Hamilton but parts of Boone, Madison and
Hancock.were within it. Names will follow in next post.
On the outside of the folded document it reads: 1825 - Bridges Petition -
JOHN BRIDGE - Pardoned
To His Excellency James Brown Ray
Governor of the State of Indiana
We the undersigned citizens of Indianapolis and inhabitants of Marion County
humbly represent unto your Excellency at the May Term of the Madison Circuit
Court, AD 1825 held in the State aforesaid came on for trial the case of
John Bridge on an indictment for the murder of an Indian man named Logan at
the County Aforesaid and was then and there found guilty of the crime of
Murder by the Jury and sentenced to suffer death by the court. Your
petitioners further represent from his extreme ignorance and youth and from
your petitioners enticed conviction that said John Bridge was ensnared and
drawn into the unhappy transaction and crime by and through the persuasions
and influence of his father, John T. Bridge and his uncle, Thomas Harper,
two of the principals in the crime: believing that if restored to society,
he will make a good and virtuous citizen , we your petitioners humbly
recommend him as a fit subject for clemency and Executive mercy, and
seriously and warmly urge your Excellency to grant to said John Bridge a
full and complete pardon of the crime aforesaid and restore him again to
society, and as in duty bound your petitioners will ever pray.
Virgene, the names of the first signers will be posted to the Archives
website probably, and if they are not, I will post them here.
I have an old petition that was written in 1824, and the problem with many
of the names on it, maybe 150 all total, are they are signed in their own
hand and it is a challenge to decipher the spelling. I'm going to give it a
try soon. Who are your kin? Bob
