Hi Jeff, I don't find her quite where you posted. I find a Jane Bradford age 69 born
in OHIO with a William Bradford age 56 (could this be a stepson instead of husband?) born
in Virginia and Alice L. Bradfor age 22 born in OH (I would think that she would be
William's daughter, or granddaughter depending on how old he was when he married
himself). And they are in West River township not White River township.
http://www.ingenweb.org/inrandolph/County/Westrivermap.html West River would cover areas
like Huntsville, Buena Vista, Union Port, Carlo City, and Modoc. Luckly, they are in
household #4 of this year and between a bunch of Starbucks, I would think that looking for
them in the 1865 Wall map of the county, we should be able to find which corner of the
township they lived. That might give a better indication of which cemetery to focus on
for a search. Did you ever get any of those two packages from the Museum? Contact Monisa
about looking at the map, it will be a whi!
le before I get in there to look myself. Looking at the 1880 map that Gina has (see link
above) that they were probably in the NE corner of the township, so are very close to
Buena Vista. A current map would show the Buena Vista road as 300S, Union Port is at
625W, Buena Vista would be close to 500W. There is a very large cemetery there. The
museum has a very nice map for this cemetery.

I don't know if the church that is there now would have kept copies of memebership for
there, somewhere else besides the church building, which burnt about 3 years ago. A new
church has finally been built. It is a Methodist Church. I have been told that it was
origianlly a Friends Meeting, but I don't know for sure.
