Tell us who you are researching and a little about them.

Right now I am working on the Alexander and Adkins/Atkins line in KY,

PA and IN.  I've finally found that my Margaret 'Amanda' Adkins/Atkins

is the one that was first married to Jacob Rich.  They were married

Sept. 17, 1854 in Jackson County IN.  She then married my

gr-gr-grandfather, John H. Alexander.



I also have Allman, Bohall, Hovis, Jaynes, Hines, Willcutt/Wilcut in IN.



I have Beard, Bearden, Brock, Brown, Morgan, Raborn/Raburn and White

in the areas of AL, TN, NC, SC and VA.



Sheri

I'm taking a rest from my own research at the present time, but I am

working on the Leonard family for a friend.   I recently did some work

for him on his paternal side - Smith family line and found him to be a

distant cousin to my husband.   I am now working on his maternal side

and this is not so easy.

1920 Census - New Haven Connecticut

John J. Leonard age 50

Annie M. age 46

John R. age 21

Anna M age 19

Rochard W. age 17

Elizabeth L. age 15

James A. age 12

William B age 10

Helen age 8

Mary age 5



I believe Elizabeth L. age 15 is the lady I am looking for.   Have to

confirm this with my friend and then will see if we can take this

family a few generations back.

I think I looked at your Hines before.  Where did they light when they

came here?  I have mine back to NC.  (IN > OH > NC)  In NC it gets

muddied by every family's naming pattern being the same.  I have to

sort through all the George's.



Sheri ^..^

Sherri, I am the third generation of Hines. My greatgrandfather, born

John Haines, changed the surname to Hines. My Haines ancestor came to

Mohawk Valley in New York from Germany in the 1750's and to Upper

Canada during the Revolutionary war. I have learned that if we are

related to any Haines or Hines family outside of this one, it goes back

hundreds of years in Germany for a common ancestor.

I am going to be working on my Bohall/Hovis family for a while.  Try

to get all the sources cited and see what I need.  I'll find the

census records and try to figure out when they moved to IN from KY.

My George Bohall was born in KY according to his death record.  Meade

County.  His father Joseph is buried in Mt. Pleasant so I know the

entire family moved north, not just George.  Hopefully I will get it

all taken care of in about a month.

Sheri

Do you have Ancestry.com to be able to get the Census?

No.  I can access Heritage Quest at home.  That is usually where I go.

  I own the 1900, 1910, and 1920 for my county. What I miss is 1850.

I'll have to go over and see what FamilySearch has finished.

Everytime I go there is something new!

I can check the others for you on Ancestry - if you need help.

I'll take a look anyway later after I am fully awake.

Family Search is great but sssslllloooowwww.  I have my George David

Bohall in 1860, 1870 and 1880; he died in 1897.  I have to find him in

the earlier census still.  His father was Joseph that was born in NY

but somehow found his way to KY and then to IN.  Let's see, George was

born in 1815.  So the migration to create states was on.  Indiana

advertised land in Germany.  It was looking for statehood.  Most did

work their way north from Kentucky though.  I read an article once

about moving north because KY was becoming crowded and IN was still

open.

I've always been surprised by how much they moved around.  It had to

be a major undertaking in those days.  Coming north from KY meant

crossing the Ohio.  Pretty big river even today.  Then the southern

knobs to cross and having to clear the land to build and farm.  We're

really soft compared with them.  Don't know how easy we have it, do

we?  I think the women must have been so lonely. Maybe if a couple had

to count on each other for their very real survival like they did

then, there would be few divorces.  People are all disconnected from

each other now-a-days.  All of our ancestors that came to this country

took the biggest step one could take then.  How brave and hardy they were.

Sheri

I was interested in finding out how they crossed the Ohio and made

their journey.    Found this article that someone wrote re: letters

that one family saved for their journey from North Carolina to

Indiana to the new land.

http://freepages.family.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mygermanfamilies/Journe

y.html

They paid 2 dollars to cross the Ohio river at Louisville, Ky. so it

must have been a good business back in those day.   How else to get

across.

Some days they only traveled 12 miles a day - and others as much as

24 miles.   Very interesting article.

Since they started in September, the weather should not have been too

hot, but by the time they got to Indiana, it was cold and that could

have been a big problem.

Back in 1964 when we had to travel from Connecticut to  San

Franscisco, Calif. for our move to Hawaii, I thought it was a long

trip.   We had a brand new 1964 Chevy with all the gadgets available

at that time.   We ran into snow in the mountains of Utah, Nebraska

and Nevada.   Never cleared up until we came out of the Mountains

into  California.  We were cold, and very tired.   Averaged 500 miles

a day and it still was too long.   I can't imagine 24 miles a day and

under such terrible conditions.   Only the promise of a better life

could make it all bearable.

Possible new information on my Sullivan family.    I could not find

their graves stones in the St. Andrew's Cemetery when I was in

Connecticut a few years ago, which is where I was sure they had been

buried.   I know my Gr. Grandparents were married in St. Andrew's

Church so made the assumption that was where they were buried.

However, I was made aware recently, that many parishners from

Colchester were buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in nearby Norwich.   So

I have sent a letter off to the curator of that Cemetery, in hopes

that I may find them there.   If so, I am planning on another trip to

Conn. this spring and hope to be able to get photos of the headstone

at that time and hopefully a little more information on their birth

and death dates.   Up until now, they are approximate.

Thanks Sheri - for the most part it is a nice trip.   I hate driving

through or anywhere near New York, but there is no other way to get to

Conn. without that hassle.   The rest of the trip is pleasant.   I hope

I can get the information before I go - don't want to walk the Cemetery

like I did in St. Andrews and come up with thirty Sullivan's and none

of them mine.   Actually one of them  was one I recognized, but not

direct line.

new eyes can find something you missed or was not available when you

last checked.

What information do you have on Beatrice.   Was Brown her maiden

name? Approx date of birth - in Alabama or Indiana?

I tried a one name search for Beatrice and then for Brown and the

only one that shows up in her age bracket is a Beatrice Smith as a

boarder. (age 8) in the 1900 Census.

I didn't find any Brown's in Cox by the HQ Search, but a one on one

search may find something.   I think she either lived with someone

else or used an aka name.

I have several road blocks in my tree.   My Sullivans are the hardest

because I have not been able to find where they entered the U.S.

One record says Pennsylvania, another says Maryland.   I would have

though the port of entry would have been New York, because that is

where they first lived until they came to Connecticut.  They would

have had to travel from Maryland or Pa. to New York which was not

common for immigrants back in the 1850's.
