Message Board Post:
My uncle told me last week that his grandfather, Joshua Esau Rownd (b. 1859 Ripley County,
IN) had once told him that his father, Ara James Rownd, had been a Baptist minister. The
censuses that I've seen (1860, 1870, 1880, 1900) list A. J. Rownd's occupation as
farmer. I am wondering whether anyone has information that could corroborate that there
was Baptist minister in Ripley County named Round, Rounds, or Rownd.
