Joseph Jacobs married Dena Dumold in Spencer on 25 May 1880, source is book 8, page 85. Madardus Jacobs married Mary Ann Blum in Spencer on 19 Feb 1857, source is book 4, page 92. Could not find the marriage for the Jerger sisters. Good luck. Don

Don't know about Wills, but Ancestry.com has Spencer county marriage records from 1818 to 1920. If you do not have access post the names you are looking for and maybe one of us can help. Don

Question About Death Records in Spencer County and Any Record that Might Have Maiden Name

MoberlyDrake — 2009-12-03 00:18:54Z

Hello Fellow Researchers,

Does Spencer County have death records from 1904, and, if so, would the record contain the maiden name of the deceased person's mother?

I'm interested in finding some document that would have the maiden name of the mother of my ancestress, who immigrated from Alsace to Indiana. As far as I know, her parents never came to this country.

She belonged to St. Meinrad Parish at the time of her death. I have already contacted them, but they could give me no information other than the date of her death.

Does anyone know of any record that might show her mother's maiden name? Undertaker's records might if they exist, but I don't know who the undertaker was.

Thank you,

Carol

jakesjag — 2009-12-02 15:45:41Z

Have just started researching my husbands family. We have Medardus Jacob in 1910 census living in Harrison - not sure if this is township or village. He also lived in Fulda and perhaps Ireland. He was married 3 times. Our great great grandmother was Genovefa Jerger Jacob who died in Fulda, IN in 1854, Is there a cemetery record for them? I am just starting so any help would be appreciated.

hawgband — 2009-11-22 14:54:47Z

Hello,
I’ve been trying for years to find out something about my ggg grandmother, Sarah Mariah Skelton. In 1870 she and her sister are living with Robert Irvin Skelton and his wife Mahala but the girls are not his kids. I’ve never been able to find out who her parents were. Yesterday I received information that Zachariah Skelton enlisted in Company F, 120th Indiana Infantry at Rockport during the Civil War and died in Nashville, TN in 1864. His wife died soon after and a minor child pension application was apparently filed for and the note said that Robert Skelton was the guardian. So basically I’m trying to confirm that the girls belonged to Zachariah and his wife Mariah (Zachariah was Robert’s brother and Mariah was Mahala’s sister). I would appreciate any information anyone might have to support or deny this.

McCanless Family

SteveMcBride56 — 2009-11-21 02:02:56Z

I am looking for advice on how I might try to find a cemetery record for my 2nd great grandfather's first wife. Her name at the time of death was Elizabeth McCanless (Could also be spelled other ways, McCandlis, McCanlas, etc)She died in Luce Township, Spencer County around September of 1861. I would also be grateful for any advice on searching old Spencer County records for more information about her. Elizabeth was most likely the daughter of Berry and Mary Roach. She was first married to a man with the last name of May, probably around 1842. They had 2 children, John and Mary May. After marrying John McCanless, they had one daughter, Lena Anne. I have only found limited census information, and little else. Since I am in California, any lookup help, or advice about hiring a researcher would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Steve McBride

Re: Cordelia Spencer, David F. Spencer Genealogy Correction

ds2028 — 2009-11-18 19:20:25Z

I find this intrigueing. My name is David F. Spencer. My family on both sides are from the Black Swamp area. Fayette, Oh. Morenci, Mi., Lauber Hill, Oh. (the original settlers of the Black swamp). There was a Bert Spencer in Morenci, my great grandfather who may be related to this Albert Spencer. There are many many Spencers buried in the Morenci Michigan City Cemetary which is in Senneca County I believe. This is a very interesting read.

Thomas H. Willison

missmarple51 — 2009-11-17 19:19:40Z

Does anybody have any information on Thomas H. Willison, b. 7 Feb 1871 in Spencer Co.IN; d. 1 Mar 1923 Spencer Co. m.Eliza Alice Calvern in 1895, supposedly in Spencer Co.
His parents were Carolina Workman & James (or John) Williston. Any info would be appreciated. Not my family; but i am doing research for a friend.

Also: I did find a marriage for a Thomas H. Willison to Matilda Fleeger; but this Thomas was born abt 1826. Does anyone know who he is? He and Matilda divorced and he spent time in the State prison.

Re: Daniel Andrew Criswell

sduncan43 — 2009-11-06 02:33:57Z

Hi Roger,
I am taking a chance you will answer this email. I am looking for information on Harold Sloan Criswell son of Reid Criswell. Reid is my grandfather. In 2006 I came across a picture that looked like my brother only it is old. I finally got it identified to be Reid and I am assuming a brother. Mom always said my brother looked like the Criswell's. Mom (Delia Ethel Marie Criswell) died in 1954 and I didn't even hear Reid's name that I remember until 1959. I have a picture that I am guessing is Elizabeth Bolejack but I can't find anyone that would know. I am asking for your help in locating the family you know about.
Thank you,
Sandy

A picture of Ethel Spencer

klady2001 — 2009-10-29 04:41:57Z

I am not related but recently found a picture of a beautiful young woman named Ethel Spencer in an antique shop in Redmond, OR. I would love to return the picture to her family. I believe the picture was taken in the 20's and she looks to be a brunette with brown eyes.
There will be no charge to the family.

Re: Bryant- Wilkinson Family

rwshurtz — 2009-10-26 19:39:02Z

I can only go as far back as Ford. That is why I went to Charleston, I was not sure that his father's name was John, but I did not find any references in S. Carolina to a Ford Wilkinson. I do have some letters from S. Carolina to the Indiana Wilkinsons by uncles and cousins then living in S. Carolina (around Agusta, Ga.) Something like taking Uncle Fords girls to a hop. My e-mail is Robrtz1@juno.com it might be easier to get me there. They had some family move to Kansas I believe. I also got some information from a trip to Spencer County you might find interesting, you will have to give me some time to put it together and see what I have. I have not subscribed to Ancestry.com I will check with a friend to see if it is worth it.

Re: Bryant- Wilkinson Family

maryb4949 — 2009-10-26 18:26:20Z

How far back on the Wilkinson's does your information go? You probably have more than I do but if not I would be glad to send you a family sheet of what I have.

Re: Bryant- Wilkinson Family

Missouri was my great grandmother. My mother was Helen Bates of Mt. Vernon, Ill

Re: Bryant- Wilkinson Family

maryb4949 — 2009-10-25 16:20:31Z

I have Ford's father as John born 1829 and his mother as Susanah Jones. I have that he was one of at least 4 children. That is as far back as I go with the Wilkinsons on this line. My line is with Missouri and I do have more on her family. Missouri's mother was Ibby Ann Bloyd.

Re: Bryant- Wilkinson Family

rwshurtz — 2009-10-25 15:51:03Z

I have seen both spellings on Missouri and probably have some more information on that. I have her father, Ford Wilkinson, coming to Indiana from South Carolina, just north of Augusta, Georgia about 1805. He left some relatives in South Carolina. But I could not find any information before that.
