I am very interested in Owen County genealogy. I have been
researching the Bond family and would love to hear from anyone else
who might be, too.
Joyce
not been ablr to find much on them. I know one of my Admires married an
Edwards. Also There is another rare name that comes up with this family its Peter
and Sarah (Jackson) Malloy. If you have any info on any of these that would be
most wonderful. That is about all I have on them. Thanks for all your help.
Happy hunting, Ruth
I'm joining the roll call, too -- with my fingers crossed.
John Moore was born about 1788 in North Carolina. His wife, Elizabeth
Duling was born about 1802 in Kentucky. In 1850 they lived in Washington Twp.,
Owen County, Indiana, with their 6 children, all born in Indiana:
William N., born about 1829
James L., born about 1831
Nancy, born about 1836
Amanda, born about 1839
Henry H., born about 1841
Waren T. (Warren T.), born Dec. 10, 1844
I believe James L. Moore married Louisiana Dickinson May 4, 1854, in Indiana.
Warren T. Moore married Frances E. Norris July 30, 1865, in Freedom, IN. In
1870 they lived in Parke County. They had 5 children
Ida E. Moore, 1867-1928
Charles (Charley) W. Moore, 1870-?
John S. Moore, 1872-1873
Maggie M. Moore, 1874-1876
Minnie K. Moore, Sept. 1876-Dec. 1876
I am searching for more information on John and Elizabeth, especially.
Information on their children would also be welcome.

So, what was the story on Homeless people of this era?

Subject: [INOWEN] Homeless Photo #0056
Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2006 14:51:19 -0400
In reviewing the Homeless Photo's again....I'm seeing things I didn't see
before. Photo #0056, which is listed under both Park & Montgomery Counties
as "Lady on Porch" (and photo's #0057, 58 & 59 appear to all be related).
This is a war widow and her child...I'm guessing it might be a WWI era
photo. It has a Family Pride banner (originated by the "Blue Star Mothers")
hanging on the wall in the background. These banners signified a family
member was serving in a war. I am guessing, although you cannot see it,
there is also a gold star pinned to the fabric star in the center -
signifying the man was killed in the war....hence the photo frame sitting in
the empty chair along side the woman & child.
Also, Debbie....I think the photo you have labeled as John L. Langdon in his
Navy Blues is two generations off. I think it is Bobby Langdon (from
1950s-60s)....son of Clifford & Ruth Langdon....since you sent it to me with
the group of others I will keep working to verify this.

I think that Marsha was correct about the lady on the porch. However, the
photo was sent to me by Carla Ratcliff, so you might want to discuss it with
her. She is in Texas and her email is: pratclif(a)swbell.net
Regarding the John L. Langdon photo, it came to me through an estate sale
as I have said. This particular photo was among other Langdon photos and the
writing was on it when I obtained it. Your guess would be as good as mine on
that one.

On my last visit to Quincy, I went to the Combes Cemetery to visit the grave sites of my great, great grand parents, only to find that there are
no markers! We contacted the caretaker and he had no record of their burial. He also stated that some of the older graves had lost their
markers and some of the old records had been destroyed. We have also checked the current list and my ancestors are not listed.
The O'Mullanes arrived at Quincy in October 1867 and temporary lived with the Daltons until the bought their own farm on August 31, 1870.
About 50 years ago I visited the grave site with my great uncle, Zale O'Mullane, a life long resident of Quincy, and he pointed out the graves
to me. And on subsequent inquires, he mentioned their burial in Combes. As a note, Zale and his Mother and Father are buried in the
Mannan Cemetery.
I was very familiar with Quincy as my Mother was born and raised there, also my brother was born there. I have fond memories of the
"Quincy Picnic" and the family get togethers at the O,Mullane farm, which is just west of Quincy.
My ancestors that are buried in the Combes Cemetery are;
Eleanor(nee Walsh) O'Mullane known to the family as "Nelly"; was born 24 December 1811 and died 27 January 1871.
John O'Conner O'Mullane born 25 December 1793 and died 1873.
Both were born in Ireland and their name was Mullane, but on their arrival to America, for some reason the name changed to O'Mullane.
I have probably given more information than necessary, but I am trying to get the O'Mullanes on the record as being buried in the Combes
Cemetery.
Can someone help me?

thanks for the reminder I have had such a busy summer that time is slipping up on me this year and yes it is time to get organizied and ready to run through all the notes and putthem in their place that I collected over the summer months on cemetery visits.. somehow it isn't the same to tromp through a cemetery in two foot of snow as it is on a summer day..
Listmembers: (and I notice that there are several new ones recently)
For most of us, this researching is a sickness that we participate in year
round.
For others, researching is something that is done when all the outside work
is finished for the year.
Both sides agree though that the winter months is the time to "hunker" down
to some serious researching and digging.
Unfortunately, we are fast approaching that time of year when we will be
shut inside during the cold season.
(Some of you though I know live in the warmer climates, so you will just
have to pretend.)
Begin now to organize your data and figure out your game plan so to speak
for posting your queries and getting your answers.
There are organizing instructions on the Sweet Owen website for those of you
who need them.
Everyone needs to be gathering all your information and getting ready to
really "dig" into everything.
For the more recent subscribers to our mailing list- the procedure is
simple.
Address your postings to: INOWEN-L(a)rootsweb.com
In the subject line place something relevant to the person/family name you
are asking about such as: name, area/location/time frame.
Many of the list members will simply delete items without a subject line.
In the body of your query/posting include as much pertinent data as you have
on your ancestor for easier identification.
List children, siblings, spouses, parents, geographic locations, migrations,
occupations-just simply whatever you have. The more the better.
You may post as many times as you wish to, it is best though to keep each
posting confined to one family name or topic.
Answer any postings that you can and preferably to the list instead of the
person or in addition to if you feel that your answer would be of interest
to others.
Chances are if the query is about something community related or location of
something- there will be others wanting to know the same answer.
Many of you older members should also post too for the benefit of the newer
posters as they may have your information. I do realize that most of us have
been around long enough that we know everyone else's interests as well as
our own; but the newer members don't know it.
I wish you all successful researching this winter and encourage you to visit
the website below.

If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and
all generations of your ancestors. All
of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the
continuation.
