Chambers states that one of the daughters, Mary or Rachel Chambers (b. 1790-1800)l, of Alexander Chambers and Rachel Monroe married a TULL. The descendants of Alexander Chambers intermarried heavily with the descendants of James Blankenship (b. 1773, VA). Reverend Isaiah Blankenship (James' probable brother) married Polley Chambers in 1799, in Rutherford County, NC. Polley was the daughter of John Chambers, Alexander Chambers brother. Another probable brother of James and Isaiah was Reverend William Blankenship and he married another daughter of Alexander Chambers, Elizabeth (Betty) Chambers. The latter family went to Vermillion County, IN. How were the TULLs connected with the Chambers and Blankenships other than already shown above? Where did the Tulls migrate FROM. The Chambers migrated from Rutherford/Burke Counties NC. Isaiah Blankenship was in Rutherford when he married Polley Chambers. Did the TULLs come from NC?

EARL I am seeking
information on the ancestors of Jacob EARL and his wife Sarah H. ______. They
resided in Montgomery Twnsp from abt. 1830 to abt. 1860. Their children (as I
currently know them) were Hannah Ann (VANCE), William H., and George W. EARL.
Hannah m. Jilson VANCE in 1855 and they moved to Westfield, Hamilton Co., IN.
William and George were living in Crawfordsville, Montgomery Co., IN in 1920. I
believe Jacob EARL to have come to IN from PA, and there the name was spelled as
ARROL, ARRELL, AROLL, or other variation. Thanks in adVance for any
assistance.
"Riley Shields" I am looking for information on Sally Pierce and her husband. She was a member of the Brethren Church for 50 years, She was born approximately in 1783. She joined the church in 1810. She died in Jennings county, Indiana; May 1860. Her son William B. is my great-great grandfather. William's first wife was Mary Froelich. I thought perhaps this German name was located In Pennsylvania and that Sally's offspring may have come here. She was born in Vermont and William B. was born in New Hampshire in 1825 when she was about 41 years. I would appreciate any information on this. Thank you. Sharon

John M. Blankenship balatro@ix.netcom.com I have been trying to determine the parentage of an ancestor whose birthplace is listed as Indiana in 1880 and 1900 census entries for Nebraska. I was able to find many Blankenships in Jennings County in the Indiana Marriages Before 1850 database and speculate that the unnamed ancestor may have been called John or James-- both names persist in our family-- but I could be wrong. The 1900 census indicates that James William Blankenship, my third great-grandfather, was born in 1837 in Indiana to parents who were born in Virginia (father) and Indiana (mother). If you could share any information from the 1840 census info for your county I would be forever grateful.

I found in Jennings County that
my grandfather, James
McCaslin,
left Indiana
sometime in the early 1870s for
Arkansas. In Ft. Wayne, I found that he
had a different wife who, as it
turns out, died before he
married my grandmother, Mariah
Orrill. My research there and in Arkansas
did not advance me beyond James.
I am finding the lack of a middle initial
a real handicap. In the Garland
County, Arkansas "Record", an annual
publication of that county's
Historical Society, his name is listed at least
on one occasion as James Wm. I
cannot find any information anywhere that
authenticates that middle name,
however. Yet someone in Garland County,
Ark. found the same information
about his first wife, and, for that matter,
his first daughter dying young
in Indiana. A little book entiled "The
McCaslin Finder", published
privately by a woman in Concord, California and
housed in the Allen County
Public Library, Ft. Wayne, may be the source of
that "Wm" but I saw nothing in
that book that promises certainty. As a
matter of fact, although I did
run across the name James W. several times, I
did not see any of these names
associated very closely with this McCaslin;
yet again, one of Dad's uncles,
a son of James, was named James W. All help
appreciated.

Subj: Corya family
history

From:
rbuher@indiana.edu
Several years ago I visited Wanda Smock in old Vernon. She shared with me some of the voluminous research she had done on the Jennings County Corya family. I would love to know more.
At the time she lived about a block from the old Court House in Vernon. I know it is a long shot, but do you know if she is still living? And, or do you know what might have happened to her research. Perhaps it has been donated to an historic or genealogy society.
Do you happen to know about her or her work, a family contact or what might have become of her research?

From: carolac@fidnet.com
I am related to Frederick Kysar and I have received a few pages of the Jennings County Indiana 1816-1999 book that says in page 82 that "There are eight abandoned cemeteries and gravesites in Marion Township, namely: Buckles, Sage, Coryell, Keith, Barnes, Williams, Montgomery and Kysar. Frederick Kysar, a veteran of the Revoluntionary War, is buried in the Kysar Cemetery. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1761, went to Kentucky and enlisted in the service of General Clark. In 1812, he moved to Jennings County." I can not find any other information about the Kysar Cemetery and we were told that procedes from the Kysar Kin book was to buy a tombstone for Frederick and then again I was told that the government had furnished one. Could you please help me with this or give me a contact of someone to talk to about this. I live in Cuba, Missouri. Thank you for your help.

I visited a few years ago in Vernon and a young woman told me of a history of the area which included information of the Hughes family. As I am a descendant of the Buckles and Hughes family, I am interested in what I can find. I don't know the names of townships and therefore cannot use your info as to what cemetery to look at. I did not find a map of Jennings County that could help me locate anything. I do know that my g-g grandfather, James Buckles owned property southwest of Vernon.
If you could give me some idea of how to proceed, I would be most appreciative.

My name is Tracy LaVere in Grants Pass, OR. I have many relatives that once lived in Vernon and North Vernon. I contacted the Jennings County Health Dept. about obtaining copies of marriage records for them. When I told them the dates of the marriages I was interested in (mid to late 1800's), they told me they don't supply records for genealogical research. (I'm not sure why that would matter. Isn't a fee a fee?) Anyway, I'm writing to you for help. Can you tell me how I can obtain the marriage records I need from Jennings County?
I am a descendant of
Phanuel Davis b. 1786 in Wythe Co., VA who, together with his wife Jane Woods
Davis and their children, settled in Jennings Co., IN in 1820. Both Phanuel and
Jane died in Jennings Co. and are probably buried in the Parker Family Cemetery
located on the “Aaron Parker Farm” between North Vernon and Butlerville. I have
information that indicates there are at least 12 graves in the cemetery with
stones that are not readable. Does anyone know of descendants of Aaron Parker or
other Parker family members who might know the names of the others buried in the

county asylum in 1836 according to a newspaper "tidbit" that I have from
Jennings County newspaper. His name is Frederick WAUGHTEL. He and Patsy
(KNOT/TS) had 4 known children per the 1820 Indiana census for Washington
County, Indiana. Their son James (wife Nancy KEIL) lived in Jennings County from
prox 1850 until their respective deaths in 1906 and 1910 and I was wondering if
Frederick may be buried at the Poor Farm cemetery there. I have not been able to
find anything on him. His daughter Jane married (1) 1838 (2) 1840 in Washington
County, Indiana but I have found her in the Jackson County census up through
1870 then she disappears and I have tried Jackson County. The son Abraham is
buried in Jackson County (1884) but he is not one of the four in 1820 census.

We have information
that the Kysars were in Jennings Co, even in the early 1900's. Some of our
Kysars married into the ARBUCKLE family as well as many others. We have
Frederick Kysar as the start of the Kysar Kin Book. He was born in Berks Co.,
PA, married in Jefferson Co., KY to Meriba or Mary Ann Cornwall. Many of the
children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have been listed as being in
Jennings Co., Indiana. Earilier I had received copies of a few papers of the
Jennings County, Indiana 1816-1999 book with the Kysar's listed. It was very
disturbing to see that they have the Cemeteries listed as being abandoned and
the Kysar one was listed. We had been informed that the Kysar Kin Book proceeds
in the 1980's went to buy a new head stone for Frederick Kysar. He was a veteran
of the Revolutionary War and is buried in the Kysar Cemetery. I am trying to get
more information about this and do not seem to get anywhere. This was on page 82
of the above mentioned book. If I could get any information about Frederick's
grave and more information on the family I would appreciate it.
