Good Morning Vigo County Researchers,
Here is a list of my Vigo County names with the dates that they first appear
to have arrived in Vigo County.
Coon, 1850
Hardin, 1860
Hardin/Dusenberry, 1860
Hardin/Mulliken, 1860
Coon/Hughes, 1850
Coon/Thompson, before 1850
/indicates connection by marriage
The big mystery is the death date and place of death of my earliest COON in
Vigo County. Job (Jobe) Coon disappears from the census records after 1850
where he was found in Linton Township. Wife was Anna. He did purchase land
in Clark Co., Indiana in 1852, but I have found no indication that he is
buried there. He may have died in Vigo Co. without ever moving to Clark Co.
If anyone has access to Vigo Co., Cemetery records, I would appreciate a
lookup. I have no information on either Job or Anna after this 1850 census
record other than the land purchase.
Thanks for reading,
Clarice
