Hi Ken, haven't seen you in a while. I can help you with Nancy Eunice McCoskey; I haven't heard of any Native American in her. Nancy is the daughter of James Young McCoskey and Elizabeth McCauly; they were married in Vigo County May 28, 1840.
You probably have everything else you need to connect them; James Young McCoskey being the son of Robert McCoskey and Nancy Eunice Young; and Robert being a son of John McCoskey and Nancy Little.
Elizabeth McCauly is the daughter of Thomas McCauley/McCawley and Susannah Baker; also sister to Mary McCauley who married my gg grandfather, William H McCoskey.
I have children, dates, etc. if you want them. On Bogard, I can go back to Levi Bogard who married Susanna Hoopingarner Aug 8, 1820 in Lawrence Cnty, IN.
If you or Deb want any of the additional information I have, just give me a yell at rzgrdn(a)rapidnet.com . In some cases, I may have cemetery photos. I know I have Eli Bogard's stone and Levi and Addie May Boyll Bogard's stones.

Hi Deb,
I'm sending you an email with what I have (Too much for here) I don't know what to tell you about the Native American aspect of the line. If it's true I think it would have to be on the Bogard side. Possibly his mother Nancy Eunice McCoskey? All I have on her is her name. No parents. On Adda's side, the Boylls McGrews, Leforges and Pounds, There is no indication as far back as I have (1764, 1808,1796 & 1660 respectively)

I dont know if you ever found out or not but St. Joseph's cemetery is included in the grounds of Woodlawn cemetery but if you want the burial records for it you have to contact Calvary Cemetery the # is 812-232-8404 they will also provide you with a map of burial sections in St joseph's.The street address for Woodlawn is 1230 N 3rd St Terre Haute,In 47803.If you are interested in the history of the two cemeteries Highland Lawn Cemetery has a brochure about them I believe. The # for Highland Lawn is 812-877-2531.I know this reply is probably a little late but thought I would offer anyway.

I also went to Tech in the 50s. Yes, they tore down the building that was
not safe in the 50s. It is now Chauncy Rose school for younger students.
I was also surprised, when we went back for a visit, that the building had
been torn down.
Wiley, Garfield and Tech are just memories now.

I made one error about the 1900 census, plus found one more census entry
that may help in identifying if your Kennedy's are my Kennedy's :).
1900 Census - Jackson Township, Sullivan County, Indiana
Frank Kennedy, born OCT 1853, age 46, widowed, born in Indiana, parents born
UNKNOWN, Coal Miner
Rosa, born SEP 1884, age 15, born in Illinois, parents in Indiana
Katie, born OCT 1888, age 11, born in Illinois
Russell, born MAR 1890, age 10, born in Indiana
Stella, born JUL 1892, age 8, born in Indiana
based on this information, I change Mrs. Frank Kennedys death range from
1892 (instead of 1894) to mid-1900. Still was unable to find my Frank, Sr.
in the 1910 or 1920 census.
1910 census - Monterey Presidio, Monterey County, California (with the army)
Russell Rayfield Kennedy, age 22, born Indiana
This is my direct ancestor. It was in 1911 that he married Jeanetta Wilson
(daughter of English born Coal Miner Robert Thackwray/Thatcher Wilson and
Scottish born Margaret Jenkins) in Terre Haute, Indiana and on the marriage
certificate listed his address was with his father Frank Kennedy living in
Arkansas with "mother" Lydia Valley. He shows up in the 1920 census in
Terre Haute, Indiana. It was sometime in the mid-20s when Russell Rayfield
disappeared from his home in Terre Haute, Indiana.
1920 Census - Vincennes Township, Knox County, Indiana (this is the son of
the Frank above, he is in his father's obit as living in Vincennes, and
that's exactly where I found him)
Frank M. Kennedy, age 38, Coal Miner, born in Indiana
Hollie or Hallie, age 36, born in Indiana
? Kennedy (male), age 19, born in Indiana, bookkeeper? bookbinder?
Annabelle, age 11, born in Indiana
Ernest, age 8, born in Indiana
Frank M Kennedy, jr. was already living on his own in 1900 obviously, but I
can't find him in the census with certainty. I can't find him in the 1910
census either.
Another quick update - I called two Funeral Homes, one in Hymera and one in
Duggar. It appears that records do not exist to any cemetery of the three
cemeteries than the K of P cemetery where Stella Grissom is said to be
buried. I was told to call the Hymera Town office, the Clerk is said to
have the K of P records. If my Frank didn't have a gravestone I doubt I
will ever know for sure which cemetery he was buried in.
A word of caution on the census to other Kennedy researchers: I spent a
month and a half tracing the wrong line! There is another Frank Kennedy
born OCT 1853 in Indiana, he is the son of a Robert Franklin Kennedy and was
born in Howard County, and then the family moved to Tipton County - where
there is quite a populous family of Kennedy's. This Frank even married a
woman with the first name Mattie! And, even wierder, the family also ended
up in Arkansas! But, that's not my Frank - if you look in the 1900 census,
you'll find that there is my Frank in Sullivan, and this Frank in Tipton -
so they are not the same individual. After much research I figured this
out - Mattie was in fact Mattie Armstrong, and I found both of them in the
1900 census.
Thanks again.

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well. I recieved MANY responses on the
Frank M. Kennedy and Stella Grissom said to be buried in Hymera. I was
hoping everyone thinks it's alright for me to post a message answering
everyone's questions and to thank everyone who responded. It was very much
appreciated.
I have been to the Sullivan County library and looked through those cemetery
books myself and not found my Frank or Stella Grissom. I believe these are
just transcriptions of gravestones though, and if my or anyone else's
ancestors didn't have standing gravestones at the time they were
transcribed, they wouldn't be found in those lists. That's why I was hoping
someone could tell me who sells the plots to those Hymera cemeteries.
Surely they would have records of burials so they didn't sell lots that were
already taken. I may call down to the Sullivan County Courthouse this week
and see if anyone can help me with that sort of information. Until many
responses on the "D of R" I have never heard of the Daughters of Rebecca or
the Degree of Rebekah. When I did a net search I didn't see many links nor
a central organization that I could contact to find where old lodge records
would be. I did find one page for the IOOF, which had both DofR and
themselves listed, but when I emailed the contact for Indiana it said the
email address was not good :(. But, thanks for all those suggestions - I
will attempt to find some record of them in Sullivan, Vigo, or Knox
Counties. Thanks also to everyone who gave some directions on how to get to
some of the places I had listed in my email that are said to be associated
with my Kennedy's.
To Jack - Thank you for the offer. I would love to come to the Historical
Society. If you give me directions from SR 41 I will come. I am actually
going to be in Terre Haute during the week anyway, so I can come hopefully
before you guys would close. I was very glad to hear from all the
Kennedy's from the Sullivan County area.
Many of you wanted to know about my Frank Kennedy - so here goes:
He is quite a mystery actually. I can not tell you where he was born - on
various census he has listed Indiana and Arkansas for his own birth, and
Alabama and Indiana as that of his parents state of birth. On the 1900
census it states he was born in October of 1853, parents born in Indiana.
He and his children were living in Sullivan County during the census. It
also states he is a widow in that census - and he is living with four
children - Rosa, Stella, Mamie and Russell. Russell is my great great
grandfather. All but Russell are said to be born in Illinois. I can not
find Frank in the 1860, 1870, 1880, 1910, 1920 census for sure, of course
there are possibilities (I also do not know what the M stands for, so he may
be listed under that middle name in the census'). The next time he shows up
in the census and is easily identifiable is in 1930 when he is living with
his daughter Mamie Kisner, who is widowed, and they live in Arkansas. I
have had to piece together alot of information from various documents. I
know that in 1911 he was living in Little Rock, Arkansas because his son, my
Russell got married to a Jeanetta Wilson in Terre Haute and it states right
on the marriage certificate where his father lives, as well as his mother (I
was a bit confused about this! It lists she is alive and named Lydia Mattie
Valley, living in Arkansas - but she may have been a step-mother who raised
Russell). So, from this information I can say it appears that sometime
after 1900 the family moved to Arkansas. At some point some of his children
moved back and forth - Stella Grissom was living in Arkansas after the death
of her father, in fact her husband died there in the 1940s (so she moved
back to Indiana again) and in the aforementioned marriage records of Russell
in 1911 it states Russell's current address was in Arkansas as well, but he
obviously moved to Terre Haute to marry Jeanetta Wilson. I do not, nor has
any othe family history researcher that I've been able to find, been able to
say for sure who his first wife was. That is why when I found that obituary
for an 1898 death of a Mrs. Frank Kennedy I became interested in her as a
good possibility for my Frank's wife, and therefore was trying to ascertain
her first name by contacting the "D of R" or finding a burial record. I
have very recently ordered his death certificate from Arkansas and can't
wait until it arrives :).
Here are the obits for both of them:
February 11, 1898 Friday in the Sullivan Democrat:
"Lyonton. - Mrs. Frank Kennedy, of Jackson Hill, was buried at Antiock
Tuesday of last week. She was a member of the D of R and was buried by that
order. She has been in poor health for several years and no doubt death
came as a sweet release. She leaves a husband and eight children with a
wide circle of friends."
July 25th, 1931 Terre Haute Tribune:
"F.M. Kennedy, 78 years old, died Saturday morning in the state hospital at
Little Rock, Arkansas. He is survived by one son, Frank Kennedy, of
Vincennes; four daughters, Mrs. Emma Killion and Mrs. Rose Ellis of Terre
Haute; Mrs. Stella Grissom, of Hymera, and Mrs. Mamie Kisner, or Arkansas,
and several grandchildren. The remains will be shipped to the Gillis
Funeral Home in Terre Haute."
2nd obit - Terre Haute Tribune:
"F.M. Kennedy, 78 years old, died at the state hospital, Little Rock, Ark.,
Saturday morning. He is survived by one son Frank Kennedy, of Vincennes;
four daughters, Mrs. Emma Killion and Mrs. Rose Ellis of Terre Haute, Mrs.
Stella Grissom of Hymera and Mrs. Mamie Kisner of Arkansas, and several
granchildren. The body was removed to the Gillis funeral home. Funeral
services will be held at 621 North Seventh Street at 9 o'clock Tuesday
morning with services at the Hymera Baptist Church at 10 o'clock. Burial
will be at Hymera."
Anyway, you'll probably have noticed Russell wasn't mentioned. Russell went
"missing" in the early 1920s never to be seen again. Jeanetta Wilson
Kennedy I believe was already re-married by the time that Frank, her
father-in-law, died.
And to the last bit of this long email. Many of you asked how I was
related: My grandmother was born Phyllis Kennedy, daughter of Robert
Rayfield Kennedy through his first marriage to Mary Katherine Leslie.
Robert Rayfield was the son of Russell Rayfield Kennedy and Jeanetta Wilson.
Russell Rayfield Kennedy was the son of Frank Kennedy and the mystery woman
who died after 1894 and before 1900.
Again I would like to thank everyone for writing to me and for all the help.
I am sorry for the length of this email, I wanted to be thorough so
hopefully one of the Kennedy's that contacted me may recognize something.

If you ever wanted a picture of any of the schools your ancestors attended, this may be your chance. I just added a page of over 2,000 images of various schools from all over the U.S.
The page is hosted by www.family-images.com at <a href=http://www.family-images.com/contents.htm>WWW.Family-Images.Com</a> and just click on the Miscellaneous Schools Page.
Please note that there is no real order to the listing so you will have to use the "Search and Find" Options of your browser or just plain or browse the listings to find schools of interest to you. I am looking for some volunteers to rename the images so I can better organize them but I have so many images to get online, I can't take the time to rename them all myself. I figure it is better to get the images online where people can find them.
If you have something not listed or a better or different view of a school or anything else, feel free to share it with our visitors. I have tens of thousands of images to get online but am always happy to add anything you think the visitors might like.
I have over 1,000 church images to add if I can ever get to scanning them all.
I would also like some feedback on what genealogists want images of. For instance, what images would you like to add to your family history scrapbook? I assume anything relating to your ancestors, and the towns they lived in, but would you want to have an image of the school or church they attended? Are you looking for pictures of where they were employed, where they may have spent days off with the family like amusement parks, lakes, etc.? Do you want to see images of towns or buildings after disasters, etc. to see what the people had to overcome to get on with their lives? What kind of images are important to your family history scrapbooks? Maybe I will make up a pool and post it on the site to collect your responses.
Please visit this collection and I hope you find something of interest. Please feel free to spread this link around.
