The dead people I'm looking for would be the family of a
"deadend" I have, who was supposed to be a
cousin of "U.S." Grant. She was Amelia Jane
Grant (b 8 Feb 1832, d 20 May 1875), married 18 Jun 1854
(a June wedding!) to Jacob Merkle Troxell (b
1828 AL, d 10 Nov 1905), who had moved with his family to
Carroll Co., married Amelia, they moved to AL and had
their only child, Eva May Troxell, then moved back to Carroll
Co, IN. Amelia only lived to the age of 43, and
has proven to be a challenge to find. I hope to find some
clues in Carroll Co! Please e-mail any leads or
suggestions! (haven't found her on any of several Grant
genealogy sites yet). Thanks!
from Alice
Anyone doing genealogical research dealing
with Carroll Co., IN, should contact the Carroll Co.,
IN, Historical Museum in the Courthouse in Delphi,
IN. The phone number is 317-564-3152. The woman with
the best advice on researching in that county is
Phyllis Moore, curator and manager at the museum.
There is no one who knows how to do genealogical
research in that area better than Mrs. Moore.

Great web site. Looking for all of the information I can
conjure up regarding the Hufford Lineage. I am a Hufford
from the Oklahoma, Texas, area and would love to find out
about my heritage. I am the mother of 7 so I guess we
Huffords do plan to keep our line expanding.
Sincerely, Catherine

Hi Alice. Just wanted to thank you for the fine Web Page
and the great information. I am a descendant of Adam
Creager and Christiana Hoffart [daughter of Christian] and as such found a great deal
of valuable information on the Hoffart line. Many thanks.
Happy Holidays and God Bless all at the Beard home.

hufford@eudoramail.com
I am a direct descendant of Christian Hoffart
who came from Germany in the mid 1700's and lived in
Pennsylvania and Maryland. The branch of the family I am
from came to northwest Ohio in the early 1800's and I
know we had relatives in Indiana. My late mother traced
the family linage back to 1554 in Germany where records
before that time were destoyed in a fire. I am willing to
pass on info and receive the same to/from those who need
it to complete their work. She also discovered the family
shield from the days of Heraldry, and as soon as I get a
scanner I will be able to pass it on. This is not a
come-on for money, only a son completing the work someone
else started and had a dream to complete. Only requests
through my hufford@eudoramail.com will be answered as postage can
get extremly expensive. All requests will only be replied
to an email site to keep my cost down as well. Abraham Hufford and
Elizabeth Plank are just two of the many Huffords mom found and
has records of. The information she has appears to be
more complete than the info listed on this site.

Great web page, I was just contacted by Barbara Barrow, a
descendant of John Payne, Jr., and second wife Priscilla
Beasley Nixon. She joins us in the search beyond Prosper,
Sr.
from Alice
George Payne passed along to me one woman's
account of her parents traveling on the Oregon
Trail. The account was found in a genealogy.
Thank you, George! For folks who'd like to see that
account, it's right here: Wagon Train

I found your site so very interesting. I was introduced
to this site by Barbara Barrow who is seeking the
"PAYNE" family for her husband, the same as I.
I am researching the PAYNEs also on my husband's line. He
enjoys what I find and I enjoy doing the research and the
find. My husband's line goes as follows: Prosper Payne,
Sr., b England (don't know his wife's name) > John Payne Payne b
Orange Co., NY, m Hannah Earl > Peter Earl Payne b Orange
Co., NY, m Elizabeth Ague (a brother to your John Payne
Jr. who m Verletta O'Neal & 2nd wife Priscilla Nixon
Beasley) > Squire Lee Payne b 17 Jul 1830 Vermillion
Co., IL, m Susan Elvira Donahoo > John Henry Payne b
Ringgold Co., IA, m Mary Ann Taylor > John Alven Payne
b Harrison Co., MO, m Elzada Florence Barrett > Beulah
Myrle Payne b Harrison Co., MO, m Wm. M. Rosencrans >
Marvin Rosencrans b in Colorado m Ruth Hightower (me). I
would love to hear from you when you have the time.
Thanks so much for having me as your guest.
