Looking for information to connect my gg-grandfather up with the Jackson Co., IN Weddle's. His name is William Jackson Weddle born abt 1820 in Illinois. In 1850 he was in Montgomery Co., MO.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

(1) Have you checked "The HIstory of Jackson County" to see if he was
mentioned in that book. Since he was living during the time that those
books were being written and published by the various counties, that is a

society has a listing of obits. They were living (and dying) during a time
when they would surely have been mentioned in the local paper. And (3)
check cemetery listings for the county. The local genealogy society would

I am looking for a death date of Samuel D. Smith, b. South Carolina abt.
1820, give or take 2 years. His wife was Sarah. He was found in the 1880 census,
in Crothersville at 58 years old, Sarah was 56. They were not found in the
1900 census (yet). I would like to send for his death certificate but I have
a 20 year span here and I have no date. I don't think vital records would be
too happy if I sent off for his death certificate with no more to go on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank
You know that if he owned land and died after the 1880 census there might be
something in the registry of deeds in Jackson Co. If the land was in
Jackson Co. there would be a record of the transfer in Jackson Co. no matter
where he was living at his death.
I found a lot about my family in Lawrence Co. through Deeds in the court
house. Also there are records in the Jackson Co. court house for
settlements of estates. I know-- I found about 5 entries on my Moses Turpen
after he died. Got a list of all his
The WPA index for Jackson County deaths 1882-1920 is on the USGenWeb site

I am looking for information on the above names, from Seymour, IN.
My great grandmother was Daisy Compton, and she was born in Seymour to Andrew Paul Compton, and Loretta Jane Morgan. She had a twin sister Pearl, married Cleve Cox. My Great grandmother and her parents came to Oklahoma in a covered wagon, sometime between 1888 & 1894. I have found through what little info I have, that she also had a couple of brothers that none of us knew about. Reuben, and John Compton. Can not find what happened to them.
It had been some time since I posted to this group.
Just wanted to send this in case somebody new to the list has any info
on the following.
