Susan,
I appreciate the offer of the look up in Shelby County library. I have all my
families researched with the exception of SMITH/DAVIS family.
What I need is any information of DAVIS who came to the Shelby County area
from KY after 1860. The given names I have are Mary J. b. 1825. KY nee
unknown, Mary (daughter) b. KY 1840-42 married Peter Glouse/Clouse? and
Jane/Jennie (Elizabeth) b. 1853 KY. I think they may be connected to James b.
1852 KY, Henry b. 1854 KY and Oliver b. 1854 Ky. The Davis boys were all
located in Shelby County in the 1880 Census.
Jane DAVIS SMITH LEWIS was located in the 1920 census for Center,
Indianaplois, Marion County, Indiana. Since her son lived in Shelby County if
you run across an obit for Jane Lewis between 1920 and 1930 I would love any
infomation on her obit.
My Smith family is a mystery. I have all the information from 1880 to the
present. I am trying to locate where my Va Smith came from. All I have is
William Smith was born in VA before 1850.
I do not expect you to spend your time looking for information. I just
thought if you see something sometime I would let you know the Brick Wall I
am against.
I appreciate any information you can give me. Thank You!
Wanda
