Hi Holly, Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the information about the Jackson family. I
checked with the Indiana State Land Tract Agency and they couldn't find any sale of
land to my Abraham Ressler and that's when I found out that Carter Jackson sold the
land to several people - apparently New Lancaster was an excellent site for a trading
post.
I've been wondering lately if the Samuel Ressler who lived in Tipton might possibly
have been the father of Abraham and Jacob - probably just wishful thinking! I haven't
attached Jacob as a brother yet since I have no proof of that either. In the book
"Tipton County, Her Land and People" it says that John was probably a brother of
Abraham but I can't prove that either. I work on my family occasionly but it does
become very time consuming. I enjoy it though. Let me know if I can help you with
anything. Linda
