Surname: BARNES, JESSUP
-------------------------
I received the following e-mail message from Donna NELSON (dnelson(a)csinet.net)
concerning the BARNES family of Pines Township in Porter County. I'm posting
it here for archival purposes and for others researching the BARNES surname
in Porter County, Indiana. I will do free lookups in the Chesterton Newspapers
index published by John Allred, which covers October 1882 to December 1890
only.

I've been trying to establish a date of death for Sarah Jane BARNES. I
last find reference of her in 1885, living in Pine Townpship, Porter County,
Indiana. At that time, she was 62. Could you tell me approximately how
many entries are in the publication for the name BARNES? Sarah had 12 children....
