Surname: Meservy, Jones, Smith, Banks
-------------------------
Looking for Meservy ancesters.
Willard Enos Meservy married Mary Olive Smith 3/27/1920 in Connersville,
Indiana
John Married Sarah Ann Banks 8/9/1884 in Longwood, Indiana
Charles Married Mary Ann Jones 6/8/1845
Have found that Meservy name is spelled many ways: Meserve, Messerve, Messer,
Messervy, Messervey; either from bad handwriting or spelling from sound.

Co G of the 69th Indiana Infantry. However, he is not listed as Charles
MESERVE. Possible listed as Charles MESSER.??
His obit says Charles Meservy was living with his daughter Emma (Emily)
Campbell when he died at about 100 years old. He lived in Wabash, Indiana
when he was a child and moved to Brownsville, In when he was 21. He married
Mary Ann Jones when he was 25. He had 10 children (5 were still alive when
he died in 1908: George Meservy of Hartford City, In, John Meservy, of
Connersville, In, Mrs. William (Nancy) Huber, of Connersville, In Mrs.
William (Jeanette??) Thompson, Mrs Emma Campbell of Connersville, In. His
wife Mary Ann Jones died 26 years earlier.
Burrial City Cemetary, Connersville, Gayette County, IN
Willard Enos Meservy and his wife Mary Olive Smith are also burried in
Connersville, In even though they died in Detroit, Michigan. My Mother
in law remembers going to their funerals but can't remember the name of
the cemetery.
Any information would be appreciated.
