                  ask thy father and he will shew thee; thy elders and they will tell thee."

Welcome to the
Tippecanoe County INGenWeb Project

     Tippecanoe County INGenWeb is a part of the USGenWeb Project and is an all-volunteer effort.  In June, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Indiana Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Indiana, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index. 
     At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. 
     My name is Adina Watkins Dyer and I am responsible for Tippecanoe County, Indiana.  If you would like to contribute your information to this site, please let me know.  If you would like to host a county, contact Debby Beheler, the INGenWeb state coordinator.
     Please take time and sign my guestbook so I'll know you were here!

Tippecanoe County INGenWeb is in no way connected with the 
Tippecanoe County Historical Society.




"In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage - to know who
we are and where we have come from.  Without this enriching knowledge there is 
a hollow yearning.  No matter what our attainments in life there is still a vacuum. 
An emptiness, and the most disquieting loneliness."  Alex Haley




Lora Clark Davis (1844-1923), daughter of Edmund Clark
and Margaret Campbell of near Concord, Lauramie Township.
Lora married Edgar Davis, son of Nathaniel Davis and Delilah Bishop
in 1865; they moved to Jackson Township where they owned a large farm.
