"Remember the days of old,
consider the years of many generations;
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.
Please take time and sign my
guestbook so I'll know
you were here!

"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

Tippecanoe Battlefield, Battle Ground, Indiana
The
Battle
of Tippecanoe
took place in the early morning hours, November 7,
1811.
Two hundred years later, on November 5th-7th,
2011, the men, the history, and the cultures on both
sides of
the conflict will be remembered at the Battle
of
Tippecanoe 200th Anniversary Commemoration.

In a historic collaboration of museums, historic
sites, parks, and not-for-profit organizations, four
different
entities that operate two different sites will partner
together to share resources and provide the best
educational
experience possible for visitors and participants
alike, to honor those who died at the battle so many
years ago.
This
site
is undergoing a makeover and will take some time to
finish. Please excuse our dust.
Please let me know if you find any dead links, or if you
have changed your email address.

This
is
a poem written by Lieutenant
William Beeker Billings in
the 1930's of his ancestors'
experiences when immigrating
to Indiana in 1819 to make
it their new home.
These families were Beeker,
Billings and Carr and they
settled in the Pretty
Prairie area, northeast of
Battle Ground.
