Surnames: BRODUIS, DEVAULT, MCGARVEY, SMITH
Looking for where James McGarvey (born 1810 in Ireland) is buried. He is not in the Jasper County records, even though he died in 1949 according to the probate records at Newton. His wife was Clarisa Broduis. He owned property in Crooked Creek, Jasper County.
06 October 1997 - Starlene Oary
Surnames: BECKWITH, FOSTER, GALE, MATHANY, MEEKS, OARY,OURY, SHOOK, WHITNEY, WILLIAMS
Looking for information on the families of Adam and Mary SHOOK OURY. They were married 1829 in Knox County, Ohio. Their children were James, Lucina, George, Catharine, William, S. Arminta, and John. They moved to Jasper County in 1842. We think they passed away between 1847-1854. This is when the last of the land was sold with all the children's signatures.
