Does anyone have any Blevins or Snider's in Orange County or possibly
Penrod. My husbands great grandfather George Washington Snider Jr. was born
in Crawford County in May of 1844. We found that his fathers estate was
being settled in Crawford County in August of that same year. We know his
Mothers first name was Matilda and think her maiden name was Blevins as she
and George married in Crawford County in 1840. But, some seem to think name
was Matilda Penrod. We do know she was remarried to Jonah L. Ruberson in
Crawford County in 1848. But, how did she care for her two children David
born in 1841 and George prior to her remarriage. Did she marry a Penrod in
the meantime. And, went back to using Blevins - In fact one source in
Family search as Matilda Penrod marrying Jonah same date and place, but
Indiana records have the names as Snider and Ruberson.

As stated above, have a lot of families associated with Orange County,
Indiana. The Lawless family is only two generations and came from Russell
County, Kentucky but married into the Thacker, King and Livingston
families who had several generations in Indiana. The Bledsoe family was
one generation back and came from Virginia. My father was Carl Bledsoe
and my mother is Helen Lawless. Would be happy to speak with anyone
regarding these families.
Sincerely,
