Hello Ida:

I'm not sure if you were addressing this question to the person who has a book or to me regarding the Sidwell book . . .

There is a book with the title "OUR HERITAGE FROM THE GWARTNEY'S OF INDIANA". The author is Rebecca Ellen Gwartney Sidwell and the Publishing date was 1922. I've not found a copy yet and I'm not sure which book dgwartney was given.

There was a website that included a good deal of the Gwartney family history (jonesworld.org) but someone did something that created a problem and he had to take it down. It's disturbing because in order to access the site the person had to be a Gwartney descendant and was given a password, etc. Hopefully it will be restored some day.

I was sent a 40+ page family descendancy record by another "cousin" who lives in KS and will gladly share any information I have with you as well.

How are you connected to the Gwartney's and do you need help?

Julia never remarried she died and Jacob remarried Eliza Jane Fisher and he died in Iowa 1864 and ELiza died in Arkansas. Some evidence points top Julia dying in Iowa not Indiana. Brandon

I have a copy of the book "Our Heritage from the Gwartney's of Indiana," by Rebecca Sidwell. It was NOT published in 1922 but more like 1972 or later. I remember when it was done. My line does not match up with most folks on this thread, but I am "Lisa Reed" in the book, granddaughter of Muriel Gwartney Younger. I will be happy to do look-ups for folks. The book is available in the Dallas Public Library and at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City -- is not on microfilm as far as I know and doesn't circulate, naturally.
