Does anyone have any idea where I can find probate or court records for Ripley County
prior to 1846?
Abel Butterfield and Caroline Butterfield (formerly Johnson), and Richard Bush and Adaline
Bush (formerly Johnson) were involved in two law suits from 1846 -1850 regarding land that
the Johnson women inherited from Charles B Johnson; Butterfield and Others v Beall and
Beall v Doe on the Demise of Butterfield and Others.
There are some particulars of the suit mentioned in a book at Google Books: Reports of
Cases Decided in the Supreme Court of the State of Indiana, Volume 3 -

I am trying to confirm that Caroline and Adaline are the daughters of Charles B Johnson.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
