I have ancestors, one who died in 1880 and one in 1899. They were
buried in the Sandbank Cemetery, in Cicero Twp, I have been informed
that this cemetery is, or was, on the Miami Indian Reservation. Would
my ancestors, James J. Moore and his wife Ruth Wood necessarily be of
the Miami tribe, just be being buried there?
Most of Tipton County, by the time of the Civil war, was town and farm land.
The region was being sold by the government in the 1840s and earlier to
farmers and settlers. That's how my ancestors ended up around the
Goldsmith-Tetersburg area.
I'd say they moved there and were buried in the local cemetery. What do
their census records say? The 1880 census or 1870 census should list their
place of birth. Also, look up the deed book and see when they bought land
there.
