Antoinette,
I think we have emailed before. Daniel Kern (1841-1870), son of Daniel Kern
(1770-1835) and Litha Thomas of NC, married Mary Catherine Mitchell after
the Civil War. Daniel was a Confederate soldier, a gun maker. I'm assuming
the Mitchells were on the side of the Union. Daniel's parents were John Kern
and Catherine ?. John's parents were Adam Kern and Maria Barbara Michel.
Mary Catherine Mitchell (1835-1941) was the daughter of Robert Mitchell and
Elizabeth Hole. Robert Mitchell was the son of Thomas Mitchell and
Elizabeth Harmon. Thomas was the son of Robert Mitchell and Elizabeth
Cambell/Capbell. Supposedly Robert Mitchell came from the highlands of
Scotland, but I know nothing that far back. Daniel Kern and Mary Catherine
Mitchell only had one child before Daniel died within a few months of the
child's birth. Mary Catherine Kern, who never remarried, then lived with
her brother Robert Mitchell with the baby. He was Edward Lester Kern, my
maternal grandfather. Ed Kern married Alice Fisher of Wabash County, IL.
The youngest of their 11 children was my mother, b 1922.
Linda McNeil,
Thanks for researching the Whitecaps! Wow. Bullies on steroids. Or just
plain people trying to protect themselves from outside forces they didn't
understand...
Randi, Thanks for posting about GenealogyBank.
My email is linda(a)laffeygroup.com if anyone needs to use it to compare
notes.

Hi, I also have family from Washington County, the Mitchells and the
Kerns.
Can you explain what is "whitecapping" please? Thanks. Linda Laffey

Thanks for that info Randi. I did, at one time, subscribe to
GenealogyBank and also using Newspaper Archives along with
Ancestry.com. I gave up my subscription on Newspaper Archives as of
this coming May as when I have tried searching for something it is not
there anymore. I have gone back and checked on items that I had been
able to retrieve, and they are no longer available, so just plain gave
up. Will keep Ancestry for while longer at least. Think I have been
using it for at least 10 years <lol> but it is a big help in
researching. I use to go to Salt Lake City once a year for a weeks
time but with so much available online I haven't gone down there in
several years. My youngest daughter & I have talked of going down
sometime this year but will see how that works out. My counties in
Indiana are Washington, Bartholomew, Floyd, Clark, Jennings, Decatur
mainly, but several other counties are involved also - Thanks for
writing.
