I am sending this hint in hopes it will help someone else as much as it has my friend.
My daughter and her husband purchased a home in Markle, Indiana about two years ago. They
recently received the " Abstract of Title" from the previous owner. While
reading thru it I discovered a complete list of the Jacob Bailey survivors, his children
and grandchildren. I do not research the Bailey family but I just happen to live in the
home that Peter Bailey owned in the 1800's, so the Bailey name clicked within my
genealogy brain. I emailed a gal that I have been in contact with because of the Peter
Bailey connection. It turns out that Jacob Bailey is the father of Peter Bailey. Now my
contact has a very complete list of one of her great grandfather's family. I think
that is exciting. Markle and Uniondale (where I live) are about 6 miles apart.
My point being if you get a chance to read anyone's deed or " Abstract of
Title," do so it may just hold secrets you would never have known.
