I'm trying to find info on the family of Ace or Asa Bell Wilson. His wife
was Hulda Coffey. They had 13 siblings. My Grandfather Walter George Wilson
was one of the siblings. He waas born Jan 13 1887 in Philadelphia Hancock
County. He died 1965 in Indianapolis. I haven't been able to find any
information on this family.
I do have the names of Ralph, Elmer, Albert and Alta as some of the siblings
born to A. B. and Hulda WILSON.
I wrote to the vital records office in Hancock County but they have no record
of Walter George Wilson's birth.
Thank you
Cheri

Hi,
I am researching my ancestors in the RASH family. Arthur Rash, my
great-grandfather lived in Fortville on Main Street. My Grandfather was
Raymond Rash who was raised in Vernon Township, rented a place and
farmed in Southeast of Greenfield, then bought a small farm next to
where he was raised in Vernon Township. He moved to Fortville from the
farm after an accident. He was married to Claire Hiday. Has anyone
asked about the RASH family before? Thank you for any help you can
provide as to dates of arrival/departure and any other ancestral lines.

On the 1900 census Elizabeth Seaman Carter and husband Powhattan Carter
were living with a son in Hancock County. They were in their 70s. They
had 2 sons, George T. and William D, in the Lewis County, KY school
census in 1879. Elizabeth's parents were Thomas and Catharine (McCoy).
Powhattan's father was John Carter of WV.
Same census--David G. Seaman (Elizabeth's brother) was living with his daughter Cora Eakes and family. David died in 1903 in Hancock county. Are there any descendants of these?
