The 1850 Census in Monroe County has four Harlan families listed at the end of August. Next to Francis is James, I have added him as a brother but don't know that positively. After James is Charity, age 68, with Willie, Samuel, Sarah, Julia and Joseph. Then we have William, age 42, with Mary, Annie, Hezekiah, Amy, Zephaniah, Jeremiah, Temple, Hulda and Zachariah. | HARLAN, Francis Asbury (I21313)

The 1850 Census shows Mary, age 23, born in Mississippi. This is his wife rather than his daughter. This family is difficult to trace because of the repetitive naming and the fact that so many different families resided together. I've seen a lot of sources that list 7 children for Russell and Lydia - William B, Emily Ann, Mary F, Sidney F, John Owen, Martha, and Melissa Lydia - and 8 children for Russell and Mary - Joseph A, Margaret, Russell, Charles, Louvinia, Stephen, Benjamin, and Archie. However, I have found no sources online that prove any of these children. I've also found sources that show most of these children to be nieces and nephews, again I find no sources that prove any parentage. If we go strictly with the 1850 and 1860 census records, assuming that all the children are with the correct parents, we find John O, Robert E, Sidney, Melissa, and Stephen who are all older than the supposed marriage date for Mary, and Joseph, Charles, Margaret and Miranda who would be Mary's children.
On the other hand, if brother Bryant died in 1850, Stephen, Sidney, and Malissa may be his instead of Russell's. This is the problem we deal with when a family uses the same names over and over. | RIGBY, Russell Thomas (I10723)

PRIULIA DUNN is worthy of the respect in which he is held as one of the pioneers of Johnson County who has borne an active part in the development of its agricultural resources, and in promoting its growth. He came here more than half a century ago in the vigor of early manhood, and settling in the primeval forests of this section, bent all his energies to the hard task of hewing out a farm and building up a home in what is now Vienna Township, and amid the peaceful scenes of his former labors he is passing the declining years of a busy life in serenity and comfort.
Our subject was born in Robinson County, Tenn., June 12, 1817, the sixth child of LEVI DUNN, a farmer and a tanner, who was also a native of that county. He was killed while yet in the prime of life by his team running away with him. He was a son of AZARIAH DUNN, who was an early settler of Robinson County, where he had a farm, and was a man of considerable influence. He helped to build the first hewed-log house erected in Nashville, Tenn. The parents of our subject had the following children: JOHN, who died in Robinson County, Tenn.; AZARIAH, who died in Tennessee; HENRY, a farmer in Vienna Township; JANE and HANNAH, who died in Tennessee; PRIULIA; ALABUTUS, who died in Tennessee; LEVI, a resident of Tennessee; CALANTHA V., deceased, wife of JOHN JONES; and two who died in infancy.
PRIULIA DUNN had but very little chance to obtain an education, as there were either no schools in his native place when he was a boy, or they were irregular in session and the teachers incompetent. He, however, had an unlimited opportunity to learn farming on his father's farm, and he made the old homestead his home until he was twenty-one. That year he was married to EDNA DRAUGON, a native of Tennessee, and he decided to avail himself of the advantages offered by the cheap lands and rich virgin soil of Illinois to make a home for himself and bride. The young couple journeyed to their destination in Johnson County in a wagon, and after his arrival Mr. DUNN selected his future dwelling-place in a dense forest, his land lying on section 25, township 13, range 3, and this he purchased of the Government. He lived with a brother for a time, and cleared some ground for a crop of corn, and when he had harvested it, built a log cabin, covered with clapboards, and moved into it. The trees upon his place were the growth of centuries, and many of them very large, and it required a great deal of hard labor to remove them, some of them having to be burned to get them out of the way. He had to saw his lumber with a whipsaw, and before that the floor of his cabin had been made of puncheon. He being one of the early settlers, he had no near neighbors, and he and his wife often felt lonesome in the great woods so far from their old friends, and often wished themselves back in Tennessee. But hard work and plenty of it kept them from repining too much. They courageously faced the dangers and hardships of life in the wilderness, with its accompanying privations and sacrifices, such as the young people of to-day cannot realize. There were no mills, no schools and no churches, except at a great distance, and, of course, no social advantages.
Mr. DUNN had the energy and ability to surmount the difficulties that lay in his pathway, and in time had his land, to which he had added forty acres by subsequent purchase, making eighty acres in all, the size of his present farm. This he has admirably tilled, and made many substantial improvements. In 1855 he built his present residence, which was the first good frame house ever erected in this section of the county, and his other buildings are of a good class. He is a man of sterling merit, upright in principle and in act, is well known in the county, and is greatly esteemed by the people among whom he as lived and labored so long. Age has touched him but lightly, for although he has passed the milestone that marks a long and useful life of seventy-five years, he is in good health, and retains his mental and physical activity in a remarkable degree. He still takes a deep interest in all that concerns the township, especially in educational matters, and is School Director. He has been a member of the Township Board of Trustees, and has always done his duty as a loyal citizen. Politically, he is a strong supporter of the Democratic party.
The wife of our subject's early manhood died June 1, 1860, and was laid to rest in Reid Cemetery, in what is now Grantsburg Township. In 1862 he contracted a marriage with ELIZABETH MEDDOWS, a native of Kentucky. She died in 1878, and her mortal remains were placed in the same cemetery as those of his first wife. In 1880 Mr. DUNN was married a third time, Mrs. NANCY SLACK, nee WYMORE, becoming his wife. By his first marriage Mr. DUNN had nine children; WILLIAM S., who was a soldier in the late war, and gave up his life for his country at Nashville, Tenn.; MILES R., a farmer in Johnson County; MARTHA JANE, wife of GEORGE CALHOUN, of Tunnel Hill; EDNA ELIZABETH, who is deceased; JAMES , a resident of Metropolis; CHARLES A., a farmer in Johnson County; LOUISA, Mrs GAGE, a resident of Johnson County; and two who died in infancy. There was one child born of his second wife, SARAH ANN, wife of WILLIAM WYMORE, of this county.

I have to assume that James was married before Mary. On the 1910 census, there is a daughter named Canary, age 16. The same census says James and Nora have been married only 13 years. Nora has borne 6 children with 5 living, 6 children are listed but Ethel from the 1900 census is missing. | ROOK, Mary Elnora (I18124)

THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, VOL XXX., No. , Page 4, Col. 1, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Friday, December 21, 1906,
"OBITUARY-Letsinger.
Mrs Margaret A. LETSINGER, the oldest citizen of Greene county, with the exception of Aunt Susan Cavins, of this place, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Phoebe WARRICK, a short distance south of Jasonville, Monday afternoon, at 3 o'clock after having rounded out almost a century.
She was born in Tennessee, December 4, 1809; died December 17, 1906; aged Ninety-seven years and thirteen days.
In 1834 she and her husband, Lewis LETSINGER, who passed away many years ago, came to Indiana, which was then almost an unbroken wilderness, and settled not far from the present town of Clay City. After residing there about three years they came to Greene county and entered a tract of land a short distance south of the present town of Jasonville and there they continued to make their home the remainder of their lives.
Soon after coming to Greene county her husband went back to Tennessee to dispose of their possessions in that state. Taking advantage of Mr. Letsinger's absence a neighbor determined at possession of the tract of land on that the Letsingers were living but which they had not yet entered from the government. Hearing of his intention, Mrs. Letsinger, true to the pioneer spirit, borrowed $50 from neighbor, hurriedly mounted a horse and started alone through the wilderness to the government land office at Vincennes. She arrived there secured the necessary papers, paid the land agent for the forty-acre tract and had just gotten outside of Vincennes on her way home when she met the neighbor just going into town. She had gone on and their home was secured.
At an early day she and a neighbor woman went on horseback to Terre Haute to take their wool to have it carded-one of the first steps toward supplying the family with clashing.
Her health was always excellent but during the last few years she had become quite feeble as the result of her great age and for the past few months had been almost helpless. She never would have a physician called, and in the pioneer days she acted as a physician for the entire community, dispensing her simple home-made remedies and would often go for miles at night in response to a call from the sick.
In the latter years whenever the family thought she needed his attention a physician was summoned but he always went under the pretense of making a social call.
She was a woman of unusual intelligence and remained in possession of her mental faculties until the very end. For the past several years she had been almost totally blind. She did not grow old in spirit but always took a lively interest in all the inventions and improvements that make for progress and never lost interest in what was going on in the world.
She was a devout Christian, having been a member of the M. E. church since an early day. Hers was a truly christian life of the highest type, putting into practice in her daily life the precepts of the Master in who she had unbounded confidence. Her influence for good was incalculable and will not perish. She was charitable always dividing her means with those in need and was surprised by no one in acts of hospitality. Pioneer preachers-circuit riders-always found at her home the heartiest welcome.
Six of her eight sons enlisted in the Union army and fought bravely for their country during the Civil war--and three of whom never lived to return home. One was killed in the battle of Antietam, one fell before Atlanta, a third died in a hospital near Atlanta, two others were wounded in battle and the remaining one almost died of starvation in Andersonville prison. Her home sheltered a multitude in war times, including the wives and children of her sons who were at the front.
She was the mother of thirteen children-eight sons and five daughters-all of whom, except two, reached maturity and of whom four sons and two daughters survive. The surviving daughters-Mrs. Phoebe WARRICK and Mrs. Marinda GIBSON, of Jasonville, cared for their mother during the last years of her life and lovingly ministered to her every want. The surviving sons are Harvey W. LETSINGER, of Bloomfield; Lewis E. and Henry A. LETSINGER, of Jasonville; and Calvin LETSINGER, of Middletown.
She is also survived by thirty-one grandchildren, over sixty great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.
The funeral services were held at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning from the M.E. church at Jasonville, conducted by Rev. J. D. CRANE, of this place, in the presence of a large assemblage of relatives and friends who had gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to one whom in life all had loved and honored, and the remains are tenderly laid to rest in the cemetery at that place." | THORLTON, Margaret Ann (I10869)

The census records after her marriage show Nancy to be 24, 35, 46 and 70, so I believe she was born between 1830 and 1836, probably in 1834-35 instead of 26. Lily Hogan gave no sources for the dates she put on Eviline's headstone. | WILLS, Nancy Eviline (I3683)

The children and marriages in these generations of this family are so sketchy that I cannot truthfully say that any of this is fact. Each researcher gives a different opinion. Conrad and Cornelius are especially embroiled in doubts and wonderment.
In Nancy Roberts' book, she says that Cornelius is the father of Garrett, Ann, John, William, and Andrew by an unknown first wife. She gives his second spouse as Margaret.
She says Conrad is the father of Garrett, Hannah, Anne, Jonathan, John, Conrad, Andrew, and William by Anne. Anne was named in Conrad's will. | CORNELISON, Conradt (I11867)

The children in this family are:
Temesia Ann (1822-1904) married Lemuel Mewborn Hardy (1822-1863] 1st., married Benjamin George Hardy (1831-1873) 2nd., widower of her sister, Mary;
George (1824-1859) married Nancy Louisa Hardy (1830-1866);

The Chris who married Pearlie Robertson has two brothers, Thomas and Mitchell, who don't match Ben's family, unless this is a kind of family tradition - to give the census taker the wrong names. He is difficult to find because he was only on one census with his parents. However, this Chris Baskerville, about the right age, is buried at Pleasant Run Cemetery where George is buried, Pearlie either isn't there or has no stone. | BASKERVILLE, Chris M (I9688)

THE CREEK INDIAN WAR
... It was judged that thirty or more Indians were killed. In Captain Garman's company eight were killed and four wounded. Of Major Jernigan's company four were killed and three wounded. Gwinnett County volunteers who were killed were Ensign J. S. Lacy, Orderly-Sergeant James C. Martin, James H. Holland, Robert T. Holland, James M. Allen, William M. Sims, J. A. V. Tate, and Henry W. Paden. The wounded were Captain Hammond Garmany, John R. Alexander, Thomas W. Hunt and William Stapp.
In 1837 a meeting was held in Lawrenceville to decide to have the bodies of the eight young men who had died at Shepherd's Plantation brought back to Gwinnett County. They were buried with military honors in a common grave on Friday, February 17th, 1837, in the northwest corner of the courthouse yard .
In 1840 a marble monument was erected on the site by Henry Fitzsimmons.
