I'm New to your list.
These are both my direct Ancestors. John M. Straughn and Anna
Hisel(Heisel) or Hysel I'm trying to find who their parents or
siblings were. Can anyone help? I believe both of their parents and
Siblings may have been from Switzerland County, Ind.
Looking at 1850 Census in Switzerland County, Ind. index reveals
that Straughn's and Hisal's in County. Anyone related?
I have located this couple later in Oldham Co Ky, Westport Pct
Switzerland County Indiana
