Looking for info on a James Bolton, b 1832, maybe Knox Co., OH. He was the
son of Lewis Bolton who died in Owen Co. 8/9/1858 and Eliza Bateson Bolton
who died there 2/18/1872. By 1852 James had moved to Clay Co., IN. where he
remained until at least 1870 where he appears in the census for Owen Co. On
3/25/1855 he married Rebecca Anna Mitchell. They had 3 children, Lydia,
Luszia & Harrison. Have no further info on them or what became of them.
They divorced and in 1868 he married Elizabeth Jane Marriott. They had 2
daughters of whom I know nothing, and 3 other children, Alva, Albert and
Alice. He died before 1909 in Arcola, Douglas Co., IL. Would love to hear
from anyone with information on this family.

William McGinnis (1782-1854) was born in McKeesport, Westmoreland County, PA,
where his father, Francis McGinnis, first settled after arriving in America
from Dublin, Ireland. William is the progenitor of the McGinnis descendants
of Carter, Lewis and Greenup Counties. The following is a letter from
Francis II, to his father, William, who was then living in Greenup Co.
December 26, 1841
Owen County, Indiana
Dear Father,
I have long desired to hear from you and your family and sat it in vain until
now, having received a letter from James Brown your brother-in-law.
He told me that you was alive and well a short time back and lived in Greenup
County which gave me great satisfaction and I do hope that these few lines
will find you and your family all well and enjoying the blessings of God in
every sense of the word.
My family is all well at this time except my self, I left Morgan County,
Kentucky shortly after you left and moved up near the Ohio line and there the
hard ships brought on a breast complaint which seems to shorten my days in
this world, but thank God I hope that I am traveling from this world to a
better one and Father if I should never see you in this world hope to shake
hands with you on the sunny banks of Heaven where there will be no more
sorrows nor parting of friends.
Our children are six in number. William, Enock, Mave and Sally and Jane and
Margaret.
Two years ago came to this country James Gray the husband of Rebecca McGinnis
and with him came Mave McGinnis and Margaret McGinnis, she was a complished
lady. She married Benjamin McGee a fine young man, a tailor by trade. She
lived about six months with him and departed this life lamented by all who
knew her.
Nancy McGinnis married a man by the name of Smith a carpenter and lives in
Alliganey County. She came to this country last spring and Mave McGinnis
went home with her.
I expect to leave this county in the spring for western boundrys of the
Missouri near the Osark Mountains. It is a good country and is settled under
a pention law which gives a brave man a good chance to get land and if I have
a brother that you can spare I want him to come and go with me to that
country where he can get a good piece of and a chance to pay for it and I
could not express the satisfaction his company would be to me.
If Ruben comes he must be here by the last of March and bring with him a good
rifle.
Aunt Pege McClane departed this life about twelve months ago.
If you get this letter and answer I will tell you more about your friends.
Direct your letter to Owen County, Spencer Post Office. Nothing more at
present, but remeber us your son and daughter.
Francis and Jane McGinnis
Fred:
I have been reading your posts but too busy to check every day so didn't
write. My mother was a HARRIS, from Ellettsville. Her father was JOHN RICE
HARRIS, b. 18 May 1849, d. 24 Aug 1929, m. Phebe MATTHEWS. John's father was
SAMUEL BOYD HARRIS, son of THOMAS HARRIS, son of WILLIAM HARRIS, son of
GEORGE HARRIS b. Scotland. Thomas was b. 1797 in Virginia, d. 16 Jan 1864 in
Ellettsville. I have varying amounts of information about this group of
Harris relations, including family groups for my mother's uncles and cousins.
Related families are MATTHEWS, CHAMBERS, MC CARLEY. There is much to share
if we connect.

James Bigger was my 4th great grandfather on my mothers side. He is
also my brick wall. He settled in Owen County in 1816 with Phillip
Hart. James married Harts daughter Elizabeth (2nd wife). I'd descended
through his first wife Jane/Nancy Stewart/Steward via their son Stephen
Lowry. We also have connections to the Johnson, Light, Goodin and
Vaughn families among the early Owen County and Indiana settlers. The
basic information that I have is as follows: (Questions that I'm

Many questions, a few here.
James Bigger can be tracked backward from Owen County in 1816; the US
Military in 1813-1815 Clark County, Charlestown and Vincennes; the
Indiana Militia in 1810/1811 (Tippacanoe, Charlestown, Clark County) and
Franklin (County or Town), Ohio in 1809. Can not yet determine where
born and who his parents were. The possible include Erie, PA (there were
Biggers there in the late 1700, early 1800's, KY, SW Ohio and SW PA for
the same reasons (there's hints that they may all be related). I
suspect that Minerva was born in Clark County but have not tried to
track that down yet.
There is more than one marriage between Biggers and Johnsons in the Owen
area. I'm wondering if there are connections? Leonard Bigger married
Mary Johnson who had a brother, James M. Johnson. Leonards sister
Rebecca married a James M. Johnson. Relationship??
I also find that when tracing my closer "cousins" answers back that we
usually have more than just the Bigger connection.
One final question. How did I ever get into this frustrating and
fascinating project??

Here's what I have on my gggggrandfather and his offspring. As you
can see I have several "unknowns." He is in Owen County for the 1860

appreciated.

Searching for info on Murphy/McCullough families of Owen Co. My research is
with the Murphys of Owen County. I have three McCullough sisters that
married into my Murphy family. I believe the McCullough women are daughters
of Milhan C & Elenor McCullough.
George W. and Allen A Murphy were 1st. cousins- - I don't know the
relationship of Sherman Murphy to George & Allen Murphy, but suspect he is
also a cousin.Can anyone connect to these families?
Thanks, Kathy Hembree Bargerhuff

Debra,
Thanks for posting all that great info!
I have Martha (Patsy) CUTLER, having died in Spencer, Owen County, IN, per
"The Daniel Beem Family by David E. Beem, 1917. Martha and David JOHNSON's
marriage date as 12/25/1799 in Clarksburg, Virginia (now West Virginia).
Per this book, ...He [David JOHNSON] moved to Ohio, settling near Zenia, in
1805.....In 1814 or 1815 he moved to Indiana Territory, settling near
Washington, Daviess County [Indiana]......Early in the fall of 1816 he left
his family in Daviess County long enough to build a cabin on his land in
Monroe Country, to which he moved later in the same fall.
Have you joined the Owen County History & Genealogy Society? I just joined &
have found lots of tidbits in the quarterly publication. They post query's
in each publication.
I am descended from Sarah JOHNSON who married Levi BEEM, and have much on the
BEEM family if you are interested.
My Indiana surnames - Newsom, Beam/Beem, Hartman, Wall, Dyer, Johnson, Storm,
Truelove.
Happy hunting,
Pat

Hi List:
I'm new to the lisst, but have ben VERY impressed with the activity. I haven't benefitted yet, but hopefully, that will change. I am looking for information on the family of Emanuel Forkner. He was born 20 Sept 1760 in Bute Co., NC, married Elizabeth Mangum 20 Dec 1783 in Wilkes Co., NC. He died 13 Aug 1839 and is buried in the Faulkner Cemetery, which is on the county lines of Owen and Monroe counties. I am looking for his children. When he migrated from North Carolina to Indiana, he spent some time in Jacson county before moving to Monroe, then Owen county. Knowing my luck, his family is spread out between North Carolina and Owen county, but I can always hope for the best. I have identified one son, Emanuel Ford Forkner (b. 1804 d. 1870, also buried in the Faulkner Cemetery), and one daughter, Elizabeth (b. c 1798, d 12 Mar 1846, buried in the Faulkner Cemetery). It has been suggested by Don Matson of Ellettsville, that other daughters might be Ava R. (or Avar!
ylla) who married Thomas Allen, and Mary who married William H. Coffey. According to the 1790 census of Dobbs Co., NC, there should be at least three more sons and one more daughter. Any help with this family would be appreciated.

from what I understand from a fellow in Indianapolis Sampson and Minerva
McClure Jones had two or three daughters born in Owen Co probably late
1850's maybe even early 1860's -- Then Sampson died and Minerva wanted to
marry another person the daughters wouldn't let her so she married John
Wesley Williams in Owen County .. Their marriage certificate is in Owen
Co. I don't know where she is buried but my guess would be next to her
first husband.
