I ran across the following item in an older North Carolina genealogy
magazine.
I'm not related, just passing it on because of the Jackson connection. ~~

"Some 4 or 5 years ago an advertisement appeared in a North Carolina paper,
making enquiries for the legal heirs of the McCollum familiy. The paper

the notice was misplaced at the time and an investigation of the matter

Searching for the ancestors of David James Griffiths, b. 1883, d. 1921, M. Nancy Garriott in 1877. They both seem to have come from Kentucky to Little York, Indiana, where they raised a fair sized family. If you can shed some light on the parents of David J. iy would be much appreciated. We have a fair listing of the family of Nancy and would be happy to share our files. Also, have files on Mahoney & Lanier in IN and Waller & Tazewell in VA.

I subscribe to ancestry.com's census images and they say the 1920 census is
"complete"
However there are no images for Owen Twp.......was there NOT an Owen Twp in
the census of 1920.....
if not - where would I find the people that were included in the 1910 census
of Owen Twp ???
What is listed is Grassy Fork, Driftwood, Seymour City and under Other
Townships all I can find are
District 72
Brownstown township (part of), excluding Brownstown town. All east of the
line extending from the northwest corner of

I just learned that my Jesse Cox ancestor (who lived around Tampico,
Jackson Co., IN; died in 1893; and is buried in Waskom Cemetery outside
of Tampico) had other Jackson County Cox relatives who apparently were
early settlers of Jackson County, perhaps around 1816 or 1817. The two
Cox names I now have are Nathan Cox and Andrew Cox. I'm not quite sure
how these two gentlemen tie in with Jesse Cox (uncle or grand uncle
perhaps?), but I'd sure like to know if anyone is researching or has
knowledge of Nathan

My COX family reference is from 3The Ruddick Family in America2 by John W.
Hanneman (can find a copy via Inter Library Loan); it has biographical
sketched os many pioneer families of Jackson Co. IN.
The William and Solomon Cox families were around Seymour, Jackson Co. by

so if your Cox family were among them there may be good records in the
Quaker Monthly Meeting records. The Cox lady married into my family and was
