I'm looking to find as much information as I can on the family of William Flint Price and Deborah Boyer. William is listed in his father's household in the 1850 census for Vigo Co. His father was Silas Price and Silas is said to have come from New Jersey. His mother was Margaret Flint, although she is listed on the 1850 census as Mary, also from New Jersey. Deborah Boyer was the daughter of Richard Boyer and Rachael True, both said to be from Philadelphia, Pa. but I haven't found them anywhere in Indiana so
4. [INVIGO-L] Re: Indian beads etc [0.982854]
HI- I used to look for those too. I believe the beads are actually fossilized plant- the kind like horsetail which grows in neat little sections. Depending on the fossiling process the softer center may not have remained, thus creating a wonderful hollow for stringing. I don't know if Indians actually used them, but it sure would have been an obvious thing to do. My mother found an obsidian spear head when she was a kid over in Edgar Co. Obsidian is black volcanic glass. Heaven knows where it had be

Search was instituted for him as soon as the news of the crime had been spread, but the murderer succeeded in making his escape, and nthing was heard of him for several months. Handbills were struck off, giving a description of the murderer and offering a reward of $500 for his arrest. These handbills were sent to all parts of the country and a person going from this county to Texas took one of them with him and to thi

I ordered Vigo Co., IN Cemeteries from the FHC and received them this week. I planned on copying the fiche and offering lookups.

7. [INVIGO-L] Life in early Vigo [0.982854]
Vigo County Pioneers The early pioneers to this area came and stopped in this area because this was as far as you could safely go. Indian lands in Illinois were not yet available for purchase. Fort Harrison provided somewhat of a retreat if the current situation with the Indians were to change and the river, the Wabash provided transportation. Most of the newcomers were a hard lot. They were not new to this pioneering stuff. Many were previously pioneers in another area before this one and were qui
8. [INVIGO-L] Life in early Vigo County [0.982854]
I love the stories everyone is sharing. Thank you! Here's one that started as a biography, but turns into a very interesting history. It tells how the family arrived in Terre Haute and later settled in Prairie Creek. It describes early pioneer life there and tells of a disasterous boat trip down the Wabash. They meant to go to New Orleans to sell their goods, but the .... well, I'll let the author tell you. I've omitted most of the early biography, which takes place in Kentucky (this is very long), bu

11. [INVIGO-L] Stories con't [0.982854]
Friends- The kind of Vigo stories I'd like to see answer this question: Why and how did the earliest farmer/settlers come to Vigo?? Was it in covered wagons over a well-established trail? Up the Wabash on flat boats? By foot/ horseback from Kentucky? What was the attraction of Vigo Co? Was Vigo considered particularly desirable or was it skipped over and filled in later by settlers who had to "make do"? Cheap land? Amenities? Nothing special? Perhaps I just don't know enough history. I'm thinking

Written in the year 1888 or 1889 by William Henry Harrison Yeager, cont. Part II "I will now turn back to the first of our settling on the place when the neighbors began to think about some schools for their children. About the year twenty-one all agreed on a site for a school house which was three fourths of a mile northeast of Middletown. Here they constructed a rude log house which was very common in those days. The fashion was very plain and simple leaving the logs all in nature's growth chopping out a

17. [INVIGO-L] Vigo [0.982854]
Judy's mention of Indian Mounds made me remember the arrowheads and Indian beads we used to search for and find when I was young. I have never known if the beads were really such or just a name my family gave them. We usually found them in gravel driveways. They were a greyish color, barrel shaped with a tiny hole running through them. Does anyone know if they really were made by the Indians ? Susie

21. [INVIGO-L] First Hanging in Vigo Co [0.982854]
The first hanging in Vigo Co occurred on July 5, 1844, at the foot of Strawberry Hill. A man named Dyas had brutally murdered George Brock, an Illinois drover and cattle buyer, in Nevins township, this county, in the fall of 1843. This was the first death penalty ever inflicted in this county, and being public the place of execution was adapted, like a gret natural amphitheater for the grewsome show. The crowd that gathered to make a holiday of it was estimated at thousands who came from all the surrounding
