My father's family moved from Ohio to Whitley County (Richland Township) in 1850.
Thomas Gray was there a year or two earlier and purchased a large amount of land. I'm
assuming that he shared this land with family members because more Grays are listed on the
census records farming in the area later. My G-G Grandfather is Allen Gray and he was
married to Eliza J. Gray. They are buried in a little cemetary in Whitley County on 9571W
and I50S. I'm trying to find photos of Richland and Booneville from the earliest times
until the 1960. I have only one early photo of their son George W. working in Bourbon, IN.
I've read that Booneville had a school and a small town, and I am looking for any
images. I know the cemetary had a small wooden church that burned down sometime about 1950
or 1960. I wish to scan your photos and I can offer you a nice digital image that can be
taken to any Walmart to make many photo quality copies! I'm writing a family book for
my nephews of what life was!
like for the Gray Family in Indiana. I live in Allen County. I hope someone can help!
Thank you.
