Gale for a picture of the courthouse that was torn down in the 1960's go
here:
http://www.in.gov/library/2361.htm and scroll down to COUNTIES L-M,
then click on MARION COUNTY, and scroll down to the courthouse Samuel Duke
saw across the street. I am going to check Schrader's Indianapolis as he
sketched many businesses in the mile square ca. from 1820 - 1850.
For a bounty of information why not contact a man that knows where all the
records are. Here is his information. Darrol G. Pierson e-mail is:
Darrol_pierson9051(a)sbcglobal.net He is a professional MSL
Librarian/Independent Researcher/ Genealogist. If he doesn't contact you
then e-mail back. His rates are very reasonable. Plus you get results.
This is just an option. Bob

Thank you so much, Bob. It's great to see how kind and helpful people are.
Too bad the whole world is not like genealogists! I'm looking forward to my
search in Indy.

P.S. My cousin found this in the Indianapolis Democrat (1831) when she was
in Indy:
Cabinet Making
The subscriber wishes to inform the public and his friends that he has
lately erected a new shop on Washington street, opposite the Court House,
where he is now ready to execute all orders for articles in his line at the
shortest notice, and on the most favourable terms. From long experience in
the practice of his trade in New-York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Cincinnati he thinks himself able to do work in the most fashionable and
approved style, and for Cash he will work lower than has usually been done
in Indianapolis. He will also do work for cherry and poplar plank and
scantling on the same terms, and merchantable produce will be considered as
the best of pay. He tenders his thanks for the very liberal encouragement
hitherto given by his friends, and hopes to merit and receive a continuance
of their favours.
SAMUEL DUKE
November 19th, 1831 15 tf.
Bob, does Washington Street still exist? Is the courthouse from this era
still there? Of course we are very excited to find where Samuel lived
before he lived in Indianapolis and do research there, but does this article
give you any ideas of where else in Indy to look for information on Samuel
Duke? (It didn't look like there was a city directory this early). I'm
just not sure where to go in Indianapolis from here. Any ideas? (We have
census records (Center Township), and marriage records for some children,
hearsay about First Presbyterian Church records of baptisms of 3 children,
(do you know where the old records of the church would be found?) a short
biographical sketch in "Early Reminiscences of Indianapolis", and that's
about it.
Thank you so much,
Gale

Subject: [INMARION] How do I get Indy newspaper articles?
I found the following entries in a Death Notice Index for
Marion County
when I was in Salt Lake City. Does anyone know where
I would write to get a
copy of the actual article? Do I need to hire a
researcher? They only use
the initial of the newspapers. One is "J", the other
"N". Does anyone know
what these letters stand for?
Duke, C.
death of, Co. K, 100th Regt. Ind.
J. 12-23-1863 p 2 c 3
Lang, Jane
death of,
N. 8-14-1880 p 1 c 5
Thanks so much for any help,
Gale
