I don't know this line all that well - and am just learning about it in trying to
figure out Peter Murphy.
BUT, I do know Donna, who's line this is, complete with REALs, lol.
as for finding them in the censuses, I'm assuming you have tried taking his first name
out and checking that, and switching the first and last names (found my grandfather that
was on the 1920 census, lol) other than that I don't know.
I tried everything to find a Levert Douglas whom was in obits of his relatives as still
being alive, but for the life of me I couldn't find him, I even paid someone local and
they couldn't - an extended relative found me this year and it turns out that on the
train to California, another guy died, who had a job lined up and Levert assumed his name.
Sorry, I couldn't be of more help!

Julie, et al,
I hope that the change of topic is noted, as I do not want
to interfere
with the Murphy discussion, but I have questions regarding
the Dearborn Co.,
IN - Spencer Co., IN connection, i.e., was something
happening,
migration-wise, between Dearborn and Spencer, ca. 1860-1880?
My interest in the Dearborn Co., IN - Spencer Co., IN connection involves my
g-grandfather, Richard Worth HEDRICKS - b. March 31, 1859 [?location], d. Nov. 12, 1939
[Spencer Co., IN]. I am trying to determine his birthplace.
Richard's obituary, published in the Rockport, Spencer
Co., IN Journal, 17
Nov., 1939, states that he was born in Harrison Co.,
Kentucky. This is
probably incorrect. In all of the primary
sources where Richard is the
source, he gives his birthplace as Indiana. His
daughter (my grandmother, Ticha
HEDRICKS) states on her marriage license that her
father's birthplace was
Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Lawrenceburg is in Dearborn
Co., IN. On his 2nd
marriage license [1913, Sp-Co, IN], he gives his
father's name as James
Hedricks, b. Ind, deceased. and his mother's name as
Jane Sadler, b. KY, deceased.
I have searched records in Cynthiana, Harrison
Co., KY and Lawrenceburg,
Dearborn Co., IN and have found no record of his birth
I have been looking for the first twenty years of Richard's
life for over 25 years. I have him from his marriage in 1879,
Trimble Co., KY to Lucy
MAHONEY until his death in 1939 in Spencer Co., IN. I
cannot locate him in the 1860 or 1870 Census.
Further [Julie], while I do not know of a direct connection to your
CONNER line, Richard and Lucy (Mahoney) HEDRICKS's daughter, Lottie, married Edward
REAL. His parents were Martin John & Elizabeth Jane (Conner) REAL.
Martin, b. Jun 1854, IN. Elizabeth "Jane" b. Jun 1856, IN. I do not have
parent information for them.
This all may be just a matter of coincidence, but it never hurts to check.
Hi, Debbie PIPER - this is Jane GIBBS.
