Posted 07/06/2008 Surnames: Brown / Owen

Looking for help with John Brown (b. @1796)and wife Mary Ann Owen (b. @1830) married 1851 in Carroll County. Four children: Sarah Jane, James W., Martha Ann and John A. BROWN. Martha (b. 1859) my great-grandmother married Joseph L. Brinson, January 1879 in Jefferson County, Indiana--just across the river. Their son, Louis Deedrick Brinson was born in Dec 1879. Louis
was later adopted by Edward and Bettie Fox of Carroll Co. Where can I find death record for Joseph who supposedly died in November 1879. Anyone with leads on BROWN, OWEN, BRINSON surnames would be most helpful. I cannot find Martha and son, Louis in 1880 census. Where did they go? Martha's sister, Sarah Jane married Walter S. Russell. Anyone out there connected to any of these? Any help will be appreciated... Becky Jakoby, PK9345@aol.com

Posted 05/05/2008 Surnames: Abbott

I am hoping I can find someone to help me by doing some research for me in Carroll County. My family tree has hit a stopping point on this branch. Permelia Francis Abbott born June 10 1852. Parents John L (1836-1917) and Sallie Sullivan (1836). Permelia married Greenville Breeden in 1877, but by 1900 he is gone and she has remarried a Hartman. This is pretty much what I have and I am hoping I could pay someone to do some research. Most records say Carroll County with a couple of Henry County references thrown in. Really hope someone can help me! Thanks for your time, Susan Ing susaning61@yahoo.com

and Myrtle Jane Eckler - married in Carroll county). Would also like to find info about their firstborn son Frank Welch/Welsh born August 1927 in Carroll County (died 1998 in MO). This family moved back and forth

George Washington Graham was born in Ghent, Gallatin Co KY in April 1826 (via 1850-1860 census); he married 15 July 1849 in Carroll Co to Elizabeth P. Lyons; he died 2 Dec 1868 in Carroll Co KY). All five of their children were born in Ghent but after Gallatin-Carroll Co line changed. In Gallatin Co Order Bk 6, p 205, 8 Oct 1832, an "Indenture of Apprenticeship, Washington Graham, orphan [aged 6 as of past April]...bind Washington Graham a poor orphan to MOSES SPICER to learn the trade...of a cooper, he...being aged seven years on the [no entry] day of April next." This "Indenture of Apprenticeship" was recorded in Gallatin Co Deed Bk H, p 199 on 8 Oct 1832, signed by Richard L. Butter and MOSES SPICER. I find no Graham surname in Gallatin Co 1830 census. Does anyone have access to the Gallatin Co TAX LISTS from 1826 through 1832? WHO WERE WASHINGTON GRAHAM'S PARENTS? What relation, if any, was Moses Spicer to Washington Graham? Thanks, Dorothy Donnell Steers dds25@bellsouth.net and/or oiljail@comcast.net
