This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it
just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not
researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these
families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional
mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this
book. I am typing the biographies from it.
