Madison's Courthouse

Fri, 05/22/2009 - 4:50pm — Ruth Hoggatt
We just returned from Richmond, Virginia last night where our son was married on May 16th. We soon learned about the fire damage to Madison's courthouse. I imagine you felt the same as I did. The fire destroyed the roof, rafters and cupula. I know this will be rebuilt, because this is who the people of Madison are. Even though the fire did not get to the first or second floors, the water used to put out the fire may have damaged the record books. Some of the books had previously been moved to the basement where afterwards about three feet of water stood.

Norval Lanham

Wed, 06/24/2009 - 6:11pm — Nancy

I am searching for burial information on my great-grandparents, Norval and Martha Todd Lanham. Norval (b, 1827, d. 1884) was the son of John M. and Nancy O'Neal Lanham. He married Martha Todd in 1854. Martha died in Chicago, IL in 1923, but was brought back to Indiana for burial, probably to be buried next to Norval. They had 11 children, the oldest being my grandfather, Bryant Lanham. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Nancy

James Philander Stewart, b. 1822

Thu, 06/04/2009 - 10:33am — patrick

I've been searching for information re: JPS' parents and /or siblings for 6 years. His pension data from his CW unit (80th Indiana Inf.) states that he was b. Dec., 1822 in Switzerland Cty., In. His census data indicates that both of his parents were born in Indiana.

However, in his application to the Grand Army of the Republic, JPS stated that he was born in Ohio. Additionally, in the census data for several of his children, it's stated that JPS was born in Ohio. Additionally, this response is not consistent from one census year to the next.

James B Jenkins

Thu, 05/28/2009 - 2:37pm — mabelelaine

I have been able to trace my father's family back to James B Jenkins Sr in Madison, Jefferson, Indiana. But have not been able to find out who his parents are. I live in Virginia so do not have access to the Jefferson County Records very often. My husband and I were blessed to find newspaper articles at the Madison Public Library that helped flesh out some of the family. My father, Hollie Otheneal Jenkins was raised by his maternal grandparents and had very little contact with his father's side of the family.

Grand Raisor (Razor, Rasor)

Sun, 05/24/2009 - 9:23pm — maillady9998

I'm looking for information on Grand Raisor, son of James and Isabell Raisor (Razor). He was born in Owen Co. KY in 1878 and is
listed in the Switzerland Co. census for 1900 as living with his parents, single at age 21. He married Esther Griffith McFarland Browning and had several children by her before her death. I think one of them was named Isabell, my grandfather's sister. James Razor was the son of Joseph and Eliza Ann Rasor according to 1850 Owen Co. KY census. I have the older info, not the marriage date nor children of Grand or any previous marriages or where or when he died.

George Baxter

Sat, 05/16/2009 - 7:00pm — Debbie

George Baxter married Prildia Lovell on Oct 20, 1845. I am trying to locate George's family. Years ago I was told their were two Baxter families in Jefferson Co., IN. One family was from Ohio, and the other was from Kentucky, also they told me my George was from the Ohio family (which follows what family member's have told me). If that is true would he be a brother to William Baxter who is married to Jane Kerr?
