Message Board Post:
I'm searching in a roundabout way for Flora's maiden name. I know that George was
born in Sullivan County and that he married and lived with a woman, Flora, in Ripley
County for, at least, twenty years. I'm searching, therefore, those two counties for
families with a daughter named Flora, born in 1868.
The best candidate I found was on the census record of 1880 for Sullivan Co., IN, which
shows a man named Edward Bailes, married to Sarah E. They have three children, including
Flora, born 1868.
There might be a marriage record, either in Sullivan or Ripley. Just as likely there
might be a tombstone in Ripley county for either Flora or George or both. Asking for any
added information to help me in my search.
