Hello, I am searching my great grandfather, Thomas Shafer WILLIAMS and his wife Sarah Ann
MARSHALL. They lived in Warrick County after most of their children were born. Thomas
& Sarah were married in Brown Co., IN on 4th January 1844 and moved to Warrick County
some time afterward. They had the following children, James Albert, Mary (E?), Laura
Belle, William Wade, Oscar Hedden, Wanie Presley, Lyttie M, Hensley and Letta M. I have
information that Laura Belle, who married a John Scales on 9 March 1896, died 25 March
1959 in a mental hospital, very possibly in Vanderburgh County (probably Evansville). I
need, for genealogy reasons and for health reasons, to find out her diagnosis (I have been
told she was always mean and "crazy") and her cause of death. If anyone is
researching any of these Williams family or knows how I can obtain these records, I would
be deeply grateful. Thanks, Kathie
