I have the full birth, marriage and death dates as well as parents names, etc on most of
the people in the Brookston IOOF Cemetery. If you want further info, just let me know. I
would be more than happy to share what I have found.
Good luck with your search.
PS- you might also check to see if they left a will or estate. Many times if they did, it
might mention the land to which the heir received his share.
I know that August Hildebrandt Sr. does have a will filed in WR Bk 4 p. 289-294. I
don't have a copy of it anymore but these can be ordered on microfilms at any FHC. I
also know that August Hildebrandt emigrated to USA 3 May 1855 landing in NY. He first
moved to Tippecanoe Co and then to Prairie Twp, White Co. (His marriage was in 4 March
1861 in Lafayette to Katharine Meyer).
I know that Thomas Kennedy (s/o William Kennedy & Marie Montgomery) moved to White Co.
in 1833. (he was only 2 years old at the time- birth 22 Nov 1831 near Circleville,
Pickaway Co., Ohio).
Jeremiah "Jerry" Murphy emigrated to Delaware in 1840 (he was born 6 March 1834
in Castleisland, Ireland son of Jeremiah Murphy & Mary Edenden. Note I have also seen
his birth listed as 1830 and the day as both 6th and 8th). He came to White Co. in 1848.
He married Harietta McIntyre 28 Feb 1866 in Tippecanoe Co., IN
Hope this helps.
