Hi List,
James Jones was my 4-great grandfather who married 12 March 1826
Catherine/Katherine (called Katy) Williams in Ripley County, Indiana His daughter,
Susannah Jones married my James Harrison Cowan in 1849 in Ripley Co., IN. They
were from Dabney IN. (some called it Otter Creek) Susannah stated that her dad
was murdered by a Thomas Hudson/Hutson at a town meeting when she was only 2
years old. That would have made it about 1830 for his death. I have gone
through every paper, every library, & every courthouse around....cannot find any
record of his death. Isn't that very strange? I did find a case in courthouse
just prior to that of a dispute over crop sharing together which took place
in 1816 in Jefferson Co., Indiana. Does anybody out there know anything about
this family? Please e-mail Carolyn at casu01(a)aol.com
