Oh no... another bunch of possible spellings <G>!
Thanks so much for even taking the time to look. I appreciate this effort more than you
will know. When you find all the pieces of the puzzle but one it becomes an obsession.
I have opted to try the mtDNA and see what comes of that. Thanks again.

Indiana birth in 1885 - the second one sounds like a good
possibility. This gives the mother's maiden name as Condon and says the
father's name was Adams. I included it in case your relative remembered
incorrectly.
