Would love to know if there are estate records & an obituary available for
Mary Ann Crow who died 27 Mar 1911 & for the Walter (b. 1879) & Lizzie
(Hasler) Bishop (b. 1878) family.
Mary Ann Crow was daughter of William & Eleanor (Harrell) Crow. She was head
of household (single) & living with Walter & Lizzie (Hasler) Bishop on the
1900 Census. Walter & Lizzie are named nephew & niece, but I can't figure the
relationship.
I also can't read the name of their son born in Apr. 1900. If someone else
can read this, I would appreciate it. Thanks so much. - Mary
The month-old baby born in April 1900 is Spencer Bishop also listed as a
nephew to Mary Ann Crow of Brandywine Twp. Shelby County.

Dear Linda,
After long pondering and searching I have been trying to tie Abraham Hill
husband of Sarah (Hawkins) Chesser with my Hill line. My question is on
Alexander, William in Iowa, Isaac and Thomas Hill you mention in your note:
Are they related to Abraham Hill and how? Who would have been their mother?
Do you have dates of birth?
Thank You,
Kimbra Hill Smith

I was astonished to see Abraham Hill's estate mentioned in the civil suit
below. He was the stepfather of James Chesser, my husband's second
great-grandfather who came to Shelby Co. IN in 1834-35 from Warren Co. OH.
Abraham Hill married the widow of John Chesser (1769-1804), Sarah (Hawkins)
Chesser (1782-abt.1852) on the 22 March 1805 in Monongalia Co. VA. Needless
to say, I would love to know if Barb Huff or anyone else has run across any
other references to Alexander, William in Iowa, Isaac, or Thomas Hill in
early Shelby Co. IN other than what is in the censuses. Thank you.

As I read Phyllis Miller Fleming's postings containing so many names of individuals in Brandywine Twp. and the surrounding area, I was reminded of Thomas Benton Carey who settled in Fairland with his parents, Thomas V. and Margaret (Lee) Carey in 1852. He was born in Wheeling, before there was a West Virginia in 1839. He lost both his parents within four years of settling in Fairland. He married three times, first to Susan E. Reed in 1868. They had three children: Charles G., Mary Irene, and Margaret B. Carey. He married Sarah J. Holmes in 1885, and married a final time to Margaret Ann Endsley in 1894. They had one child, Bonnie Lucille Carey born in 1895, who I was honored to meet when she was 95 years old and a resident of Heritage Manor in Shelbyville.
Thomas B. Carey was a veteran of the Civil War and worked in many trades including that of salesman, carpenter, and painter. He was also a news correspondent for 40 years for The Shelby Volunteer which later merged with The Shelby Democrat sending in many tidbits of news and gossip from the Fairland area. He called himself "Gid" which you see mentioned at the head of a few of the articles Phyllis has posted. T.B.Carey was elected a Justice of the Peace in 1872 and 1876 and was a Shelby County Deputy Sheriff under Sheriff Albert McCorkle for two years, according to Chadwick's. In 1909, he was appointed engrossing clerk of the House in the Indiana Legislature, but in 1910, the census taker wrote that he was a notary. He died October 7, 1919, in Fairland and today 400 North, both East and West, is known as Carey Road.
My research in genealogy and talks I had with my husband's grandmother, Lottie (Nail) Taylor Chesser who was 96 when she passed away in 1982, led me to whom Lottie had referred to as "some Chesser woman" in Fairland. She had heard of Lucille Chesser or her daughter Justine Lavonne Chesser, but they had never met even though Maurice was a son of Lottie's brother-in-law. Lucille Carey had met Maurice Chesser, a son of Ira and Daisy (Law) Chesser, while they were substitute teachers at the Smithland School. They married shortly after Maurice had registered for the draft in 1918, and settled in Indianapolis where Maurice worked. Lavonne was born in 1920, but Maurice and Lucille later divorced. Maurice married Louise Rouse in 1936, but Lucille never remarried. So "Chesser" she remained until her death at Heritage Manor on January 11, 1992.
Lavonne Chesser, T. B. Carey's granddaughter, was married in 1942 to Charles Franklin Harry of Bartholomew County who helped manage Howard and Harry Oil Company in a partnership.
(Note: When I "Googled" Howard and Harry Oil Co., Fairland, Indiana, I found that the attorneys for a class action settlement which includes many companies as well as H. and H. have pension money for a "Stephan Howard" who once was employed there, but they have no current address for him. They give instructions as to how to obtain the money which may be $10,000-$12,000 or more as the other settlements have been.)
Charles and Lavonne Chesser Harry had two daughters, one of whom is still living. When Lavonne and I last spoke before her death just over 10 years ago and that of her husband in 1995, she had two grandsons who were living north of Indianapolis.
Thank you Phyllis, for all the work you do with this website and I hope more old news articles are posted. They provide a wealth of information to many individuals seeking their roots.

Anne,
We assumed that Polly is Piercy Kitchell's widow. She is not actually living
with the Stone family, but next door. I don't know if that is what you meant?
No, I don't know who her parents were. You remember when we met that I still
thought she was Polly Fox, widow of a Butler. Which you told me that was an
error perpetuated a long time ago, and that her maiden name was Butler.
Maybe someone on the list knows something abt the Butler family?

Your 13 Tanners in 1870 are in Decatur Co. IN Adams P.O. The images are out
of order on Ancestry and you must jump from 40/55 back to 37/55 to read the
rest of the household of Franklin and Ruth E. Tanner. You are right about
Julia A.Tanner being 15 in the Census, but it's not in Shelby Co. IN. Her
last little brother Shannon is aged 1 (abt. 1868) and b. Illinois. Could it
be that Julia A. Tanner went back to be married in Illinois or was married
in Decatur Co. IN? LRC

Larry,
Don't know much about my Hitchcock great-grandmother. But I have some
clues.
Letha Hitchcock b. 7/18/1871 in Bartholomew county. Her parents were Joseph
Marion Hitchcock and Elmira Reed. No Roscoe in her family that I know of,
but There was an article in the Hope newspaper (on film at Bartholomew Co.
library) mentioning that an Edward Hithcock of Shelbyville visited Hartsville on
3/15/1907. So I assume that my Hitchcocks were somehow related to some in
Shelbyville. Joseph's parents were Isaac Hitchcock and Salome Clouse.
Anything sound familiar? If so, we're probalby cousins. This is a line I just
haven't worked on much.
Diana Moore Indianapolis IN
Shelby County names: Moore/Haymond/Baker/McNeeley, etc
Bartholomew County names: Essex/Noah/Hitchcock/Burch, etc.
Ethel Hitchcock, widow of Roscoe, died Dec. 1983. Any info will be
appreciated.
A distant
cousin in Ohio, Larry
