Thomas A. Fox Family - Madison Co., IN

Today I sourced the census records I found for the Thomas A. Fox family of Madison Co., IN. Thomas was married to my 2nd great-aunt, Daisy L. Wright. I discovered a few interesting facts that I didn't know previously by looking at the census records in 1900 & 1910 in Van Buren & Pipe Creek Twps., respectively, of Madison Co., IN.

First off, Thomas' name was not Thompson, as I originally had in my notes. In the 1900 census, he states both of his parents were born in North Carolina - in 1910, his father is born in Indiana and his mother was from North Carolina. Also, one daughter appears as Helen L. in the 1900 census and then as Laura H. in the 1910 census.

I do not have a record yet of the family in the 1920 census. By 1930, Daisy is a widow, so Thomas must have died between 1910-1930, probably in Madison Co., IN.

Thomas A. FOX b. September 1869 Indiana, d. bet. 1910-1930 prob. Madison Co., IN., m. September 27, 1890 Madison Co., IN., to Daisy L. WRIGHT. Daisy L. WRIGHT b. June 1873 Indiana, died after 1930 prob. Madison Co., IN.

Judson Jarrett

Found some possible new ancestry information for my daughter's Jarrett line last night online.

1880 Census of Jefferson Twp., Fayette Co., IA shows Katie Jarrett, age 14, living in the household of Judson Jarrett, age 72, born Virginia. The names of the other children line up perfectly with what I had on Kate Jarrett who married Henry Miguet in Buchanan Co., IA.

Later I found information on Judson Jarrett family in the 1856 state census of Iowa in Fayette Co., IA, and in 1850 census in Koscuisko Co., IN. The Iowa WPA cemetery database has Judson buried June 13, 1881 in Fayette Co., IA.

Still working on the putting the details together to try and tie this line into what I already have.

Kate Jarrett and Henry Miguet were married December 23, 1883 in Buchanan Co., IA. Their son, Frank Field Miguet, was my daughter's 2nd-great grandfather.

Mom & Dad - Christmas 2006

Chivlare - Foloway Family

Just spoke again with Mark Wilkins in Tennessee, it appears that this family history book that is being prepared will be available after the 1st of the year in a CD format. I asked him to let me know what he finds out.

The person who is putting it together is stressing that there are strong Native American ties in the Foloway line and Mark was talking about even money being owed to the family. I hope for his sake that it is not a scam.
