Surname: Hedden, Willcox
-------------------------
Am looking for information about the Thomas Willcox family who moved from
Newark N.J. to Hindostan, Martin Co. late 1819,early 1820. They may have
lived briefly in Clarks Ferry, Mitcheltree Twp. of Martin Co. In the 1820
census of Hindostan it lists Thomas Willcox age 16-26 another male age
16-26 and one female age 16-26. The female I believe was Rhoda Hedden Willcox
born 1797 and married Thomas Willcox in Oct. 1819 just before they moved
to Indiana. I assume the other male was a brother to Thomas? The Willcox
family moved to New Albany, Floyd Co. IN. where they had two children Araminta
and Stephen. Thomas died about 1835/1836.
Any information on the Willcox family would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you. Tom Saxton JSAXTON(a)OPTONLINE.NET

I recently found that my great grandparents were married in Martin County
and I would liked to know if anyone would have any information on them
or their children. My great grandparents were James Henderson Kiste and
Sarah Margaret Hines. They were married Feb.1, 1872. There children were
Leonard, Harvey, Rebecca Jane and Nathan. They lived in or around Martin
County I believe until about 1878 or 1879. Their next child, my grandfather
Isaac, was born in Omega, Illinois. I would appreciate if anyone knows
anything about this family during their time in Martin County. Thank You.

When I was working on the 1870 Martin Census Index, I noticed that
Mitcheltree is spelled various ways in various places: Mitcheltree,
Mitchelltree, Mitchell Tree, etc. I put out essentially the same message as
the one you sent, and received several replies, all of which indicated that
the township name was originally taken from a surname "Mitcheltree." I do
not know if this is the same 'George Mitcheltree' that you mention.
You might wish to look in "History of Martin County" by Harry Q. Holt, if
you can find a copy. There are doubtless copies in the library in Shoals,
Martin Co. IN and also e.g. in Washington, Daviess Co. IN. Here are some
phone and address data:
Loogootee Public Library (812) 295-3713
410 N Line St.
Loogootee, IN 47553
Shoals Public Library (812) 247-3838
PO Box 909
Shoals, IN 47581
Winklepleck Public Library (812) 636-4949
202 W. Main St.
Odon, Indiana 47562
Washington Library "Carnegie Public Library" (812) 254-4586
300 W Main St
Washington, IN 47501
The latter two are in Daviess County. I have always found the personnel at
these libraries to be wonderfully helpful.

Can anyone tell me how Mitcheltree Township in Martin County, Indiana got
its name?
There is a George Mitcheltree in the 1820 Census -- does anyone know anything
about him?
Hello List,
I am seeking the parents and siblings of GEORGE W. BURNETT,
born in Indiana, November 15, 1862.
I have no idea the county. That was all I could find on census, death
certificate, etc.
On a tape, made when she was very old, his wife Mary, related this story told
to her by GEORGE.
George's mother was killed in an accident or died suddenly, when he was an
infant.
There were other children, don't know ages or how many. George was adopted by
Shoemaker/Shumaker?Shoebaker???
He lived with them until the courthouse burned. It destroyed the adoption
records. I don't know his age at the time this occurred. He was in Sumner
County, Kansas on April 14, 1900. On that day he married Mary M. Bell.
George said he couldn't have left if the records were still available for his
adoption. Reason unknown. When he left Indiana, he took back his birth name
BURNETT, and continued to use it until his death.
This is a brick wall. I would really appreciate any help or advise you could
provide.
If you have any information, you may Email me at JANETSQUAW(a)aol.com
Thank you in advance for your help.
Respectfully yours,
Jan
Were one of the girls names short for Harriett? My Great, Great Grandfather
Ralphael Jerome Hatch married a Harriett Sutton in Martin Co., IN on Dec 29,
1868.
