Does anyone know of a Daniel Derby and a William Moore who were in Decatur
County in the mid 1800s? William Moore was a Baptist Preacher, who started
the Hawcreek Baptist church in Hope, Bartholomew Co. in 1827 and later
preached in Shelby and Decatur counties. William Moore died in Shelby
County. Daniel Derby was a graduate of a seminary from New York who was
touring the country as a public speaker, speaking on Phrenology. His son

I subscribe to a PML program through Rootsweb which allows me to
select names for which I receive all e-mail messages on Rootsweb
lists and GenConnect boards containing these names. "Decatur Co IN"
is one of the names I list and I occasionally receive potentially
interesting snippets or slabs of genealogy relating to the county. I
haven't bothered to pass these on unless I've known someone
interested, but from now on I'll post those of any substance to the
Indecatu list, along with occasional mater

There is a Hope, Indiana in Bartholomew County, It is just over the
Bartholomew / Decatur County border, up towards the Shelby County border
. The county seat is Columbus but many of the Hope residents did
business in all three counties.
This is a brand new site for Westport, Decatur County, Indiana.
Gives history of the town and historical photos. etc. A great place to visit and live. I have been there many many times.

Phyllis Fleming and Thelma Dwiggins have been working for some time
to set up a site where we can record family movements into and out of
Decatur, Rush and Shelby Counties (which neatly fits my family, which
settled at the junction of the three counties). They will start
posting information which we submit to the site as quickly as
possible. Please let Phyllis know at
of any problems or suggestions.

Hello List,
I am seeking the parents and siblings of GEORGE W. BURNETT,
Birthplace, Indiana.
I have no idea the county. That was all I could find on census, death
certificate, etc.
On a tape, made when she was very old, his wife Mary told this story.
George's mother was killed in an accident or died suddenly, when he was an
infant. There were other children, don't know ages or how many. George was
adopted by Shoemaker/Shumaker/Shoebaker??? He lived with them until the
courthouse burned. It destroyed t
I just checked with my local congressman's office and they
said this has been on the rumor mill for 4 years and last year
May 2000 a bill HR 1291 passed prohibiting such a charge
ever happening.
He also stated all bills in Congress start with HR not P and also
there has never been a congressman by the name mentioned
in some of the messages.
I urge everyone to check with your Congressman to see if we
all come up with same story.
Maybe this got started because of recent article saying the
