Dear Elizabeth:
I am related directly to the Arneys and indirectly to all the others. I have
a great story written by Nancy Arney Neff (given to me by my grandmother
Nola Long Boss, from her mother Rosalaine Arney Long) about the migration
from Owen County to Iowa which I have posted previously. My grandmother also
included brief notes regarding the migration from NC and also a story from
her grandmother, Eliza Fulk Arney, about her courtship in Iowa which is
entertaining and perhaps embellished a bit. I would love to correspond with
anyone on this line. I am rather swamped with holiday projects currently,
but hope to be finished with everything WELL ahead of Christmas, so I might
be tardy in response. : - )

John Calvin Long/Catherine Irvin(A) & Eliza Fulk Arney/Solomon Arney(B)
(A) Jacob Long/Mary Criss & Squire Irvin/Louisa Crouse
(B)John Arney/Mary Boyles & Henry Fulk/Mary Shore
These are all Owen County names before Rosalaine. I don't really have a lot
on the Longs/Irvins/Criss'/Crouse/Shore/Boyles. The Arney line is well
documented as is the Volck/Fulk line.

Hello, dear list members: I would like to hear from people with
information on Anderson Jackson Hilsabeck, also surnames Fiscus, Hilsabeck,
Arney, Ellsberry, and Speas are all in my family. All of these folk appear
to have lived in Stokes Co and Surrey Co, in North Carolina, abt. 1820-1840,
then the families moved to Owen Co, Indiana between 1830 and 1840, and then
the families (the branches I'm related to) moved on to Audobon Co, Iowa, in
the 1850s and 1860s. I think it's so interesting that whole groups could
move together.
