I am looking for any and all info regarding my Thurman ancestors in/from Indiana. Most would be from the Vigo county area. I am most interseted in info regarding Cyrus Thurman who would have lived in Vigo county in the early part of this century. He had a wife Josephine(maiden name Christopher) who had a brother in the Danville area. Cyrus and Josephine had 3 sons- Banks,Kenneth and Lester. When Josephine and Cyrus broke up, she and the boys moved to California. Cyrus stayed behind and reportedly died in a mining accident in Kentucky some time shortly thereafter(this may not be so). Thank you for efforts.

I am query/researching two SURNAMES. My ggg grandfather was Calvin Curry who states that he was born in 1797, Butler Co. Ohio. They lived there for about 12 years and then moved to So. Indiana. He said he was married in Sullivan co. Indiana to Jane Daniel in 1820. Jane Daniel states that she was born in 1805 Indiana. I have been trying for eight years to uncover who the parents were of both of these people. I am not able to come to Indiana to do query/research and was wondering if there is anyone out there who has any data on these two names. I do know that Calvin had a brother named Elias Curry. I believe that the father of Calvin and Elias could be William? I have no clues what so ever on Jane.
