I know of NO Washington, in Ripley County, IN and I have lived in Ripley all
my life.
Maybe that is what is causing your problem in finding them.
OR is that the township name?

Hello,
I have a line of Hess that goes back to David McBride Hess in Washington,
Ripley, Indiana, USA. My line comes down from his son John Charles
Fremont Hess (B: Sept 1856 D: 1 Jan 1942). He married a Marry Melissa
Parsons in 26 Aug 1879. They had a daughter named Arvilla Hess (B: 1887
D: 1962). I am looking for a death certificate for John Charles Fremont
Hess. I have him on a death index in Dade county Florida, and an Obit,
but they returned a notice to me that they could not find a death
certificate. I was hoping you might have some information. If not, any
suggestions on what steps i might take to track down his death
certificate. THanks. John McKeehan
