My ggggrandfather John Fidel Fox came from Germany in abt. 1823. His son John is my gggrandfather, His son John is my ggrandfather, and his son Victor is my grandfather. All three John's are buried at Oak Hill in Riley. I belive your John Fredrick and my John Fidel are the same. Do you have any info on John. All I have found on him is that he came from Germany to Ohio and then to Vigo Co. trying to get info on him before he came to this country.

David L. Bonnett here in Vigo County IN. I am a Sparks descendent.
I have a Mary Tichenor Sparks, the eldest daughter of Hiram Sparks and Laura
(Leura) Tichenor Sparks, born abt 1830 in Vigo County IN. She is a sister
to my ancestor Albert Wesley Sparks.
I have nothing further than that, but will try to see if other contacts have
further information on this Mary Tichenor Sparks and if they know of a Mary
H. Sparks.

I didn't mean to offend...I just got excited when I saw the
surrname 'Sparks' in the county of Vigo. I have been trying to track down this relative for a very long time. Is there a chance that Mary H. Sparks could be in your family line? If so, could you help me, and if not, is there a possible chance you could point me in the direction of someone who could? Once again, I didn't mean to offend.

I have many Fox ancestors, including my father, Harold, buried in Oak Hill Cemetary. Are any of your Fox acquaintances related to John Frederick Fox, an immigrant from Bavaria. He had several sons, including one who owned the Fox Funeral Home in Riley.
Any info would be appreciated.

Sharon,
I got your first message and i appreciate it all i know is that
Waldolene was born in 1914 in Yell Co Ar and she passed away in July 1987 her mom, sister and brother passed away
before, she did.
I have some info that Patsy was born in 1936 in Brazil,Clay In
and her brother John M Brashier was born in 1946 in Linton,
Green Co In that is all i know about that Family.
Waldolene had a sister her name was Edith Moore Willis
she lived in Flat Rock, Crawford Co Illinos when she passed away in April 1978 her husbands name was James O Willis
he was the son of Issac Willis and Luzetta.
Edith and James had three children, Lawonna she was born in 1925 in Crawford Co Ill i know she has passed away she
passed away before her parents due to cancer i think, but
her two brothers was Warren J. Willis he was born 1922 in
Illinois i imgane Crawford Co and Donald he was born in 1928 and he passed away in 1996 in Olney Olney Co Illinois.
That is all the info i have on this family and what you sent me
in your first message i know that what you sent first sure helped me i am going to email that Tammy and see if she
can get me the obits of Waldolene, and Mac i would think
that Waldolene's kids are gone now too, but i am hoping
that maybe one of their grandkids or greatgrandkids are
looking for info on their family history like me.
Thanks for your help i sure appreciate it very much.

I am sorry! No, I don't live in Terre Haute. I do have a home there where we go occasionally. I don't know the lady you mentioned. I wish I could help, but a check of the phone book is probably the best I could do. You need to submit a query to Tammy Dehler who writes for the Terre Haute Star. I don't have the address, but I bet someone will send it to you after this posts.

Betty,
I'm not Mary, but I have been reading your posts. I'm not related, but I own several records that I could search that might help but you have not mentioned any dates. I have a feeling you're looking for someone too young for me to be of much help, but it does help when posting a query if you can mention some dates or "circa" dates.
