Peggy has always linked to my pages so that we both are enhancing everyone
finding what they need without having to hunt (thanks Peggy).
On my site (and I thought Peggy has this linked on her webpages) there is
how the Spencer county was created and the counties they came from as well
as the ones around Spencer Co, IN. But for those who need to know this,
here is the info.
http://www.usroots.com/~jmurphy/perry/countfrm.htm [How some of the
counties (including Spencer Co, IN) formed]
Knox Co, IN was entire Indiana back in Jun 20, 1790; Then Gibson & Warrick
Cos were formed from there (Warrick below Gibson) and Harrison Co, IN on
Eastern side of state; Perry Co, IN was formed Sep 7, 1814 from 1/3 of
Gibson Co and 2/3 of Warrick Co, In; Spencer Co, IN formed Feb 1, 1818 from
Warrick Co and Perry Cos, and had 8 townships.
Here is picture of counties around Spencer - hopefully it won't get all
skewed in message.

How about a list of neighboring counties? and when they were formed?
It
would help those of us not familar with Indiana. I'm not thinking
anything elaborate, just maybe a list.
