Surnames: Dossett

Looking for information on ancestors/descendants/relatives of David Dossett, Moses and Mecie Dossett. Not sure of dates, but they lived in the Glezen area. My father Carl Royce Dossett was born in 1913, so dates should go back in 1800's as these are my grandparents and great-grandparent.

My gr'grandmother, Lou Alla Willis was the dau. of John Willis, who was the son of Vincent Willis, who is supposedly the son of Thomas Willis. Thomas supposedly had 4 sons - John, Maxwell, Vincent, and Thomas, who came from Rowan Co., NC, to Pike Co., IN. I have proof of ancestry to Vincent - only have a "cousin's" word on father Thomas & 3 brothers - he never sent copy of documentation. Do you have proof of family history? I do know these Willis's settled in Pike Co., but can't prove relationship. Vincent, his children & grandchildren are buried in a Willis Cem. in Jefferson Twp., Pike Co., near Cato. (There is another Willis Cem. in the county.)

Vincent Willis' Father

Posted by James L. Hazelton <Hazelton@lascruces.com> on Wed, 30 Dec 1998, in response to Willis, posted by Venita Cunningham on Tue, 22 Dec 1998

Surnames: Hazelton, Jerrell, Helderman, Loveless, Willis, Palmer, Dean, Quiggins, Beck

Venita:

George "Duck" Willis and his first wife Polly Patterson, married in Rowan CO., NC on a bond dated 26 Oct 1803, were the parents of Hannah, Vincent, George, and Phillip Willis. The evidence for this is largely circumstantial, involving census records in Rowan Co. and Davidson Co., North Carolina and the census and land records of Pike Co., Indiana. "Duck" Willis' father appears to have been George Willis who died in Rowan Co., NC in 1834. If for some reason, he was not George's son, then "Duck" must have been the son of George's brother, Thomas, since they were the only two sons of Thomas Willis, Sr. to have stayed in North Carolina.

Best Wishes, James

Hi Leona...

I'm not familiar with the Barrett's you mention, however I will keep a copy of your post because I'm just starting to fill in the blanks on this family... and I think there is a strong possibility connections will be found in the future! I have an aged (relatively speaking) Barrett relative who may be old enough to have known your Barretts. I'll have to write a snail-mail letter to find out.

Do you know about the Barrett cemetery in Pike County? You might find some leads there.

Sorry I don't have anything concrete.

Hi Cousin...

We are definitely of the same line... I am descended from Martha Elizabeth's brother Joseph F. Arnold... Also, Martha Elizabeth's husband C.E. (I've been wondering for *years* what those initials stood for) married my grandparents Estelle Marie Barrett and Arnold Verne Ashby.

As we seem to have more than one line cross I will e-mail you privately to arrange a swap of information (and I did also get an e-mail from you on the Ashby line which I still need to respond to)...

I have Arnold family photos and line information at my website.

I am trying to locate family members from the marriages of Rachel RUSSELL and James MCBRIDE. Both were born about 1813 and were married about 1832. Family history states that this was the last family to hold the RUSSELL family bible. Can anyone put me into contact with any descendants of this family. Even if I cannot find the family bible perhaps I can obtain more information on this family.

Many Thanks for Your Help

All three families were early settlers to Monroe Township, Pike County, IN. From the book "History and Families of Pike County 1817 - 1987" pg 73, "John Almon, one of 14 children of Revolutionary War Vetran Thomas Almon, Sr. and Mary Swanson, was born in Christian Co., KY in 1792. He was a farmer, a minister, and served at least one term as Judge of the Pike Co. Court. He married Holland Murphy in 1812 and removed from Posey Co., IN to Pike in the early 1830's, accompanied by his parents and Holland's aged mother, Ada Rice Murphy. John and Holland had 8 children, mostly girls." In the same book on pg 86 is "William Black born in Pennsylvania Dec. 1753 moved to Georgia as a young boy. He enlisted in the Revolutionary War in Wilkes Co. in 1776 and served until 1783, obtaining the rank of Lieutenant. He was wounded in the hand in the battle of Musgrove's Mill, and later in Pike Co., In. in 1833 was awarded a pension.

My line decends from Thomas ALMON, b. 1756. In looking through the records that I have collected over the years I came across a photocopy from a page from "Early Indiana Wills and Administrations" that just has the following "ALMON, NATHAN, 1868, wife Julia Ann. This was for Posey County so there must be a will there that might list the information that you are seeking .. Hope this helps .. Would love to see what else you have on the ALMON line ...

Got you message. I have a copy of the probate records from Nathen Almon, leaving his estate belonging to Julia Ann Almon. The estates value was listed as under $300. The record was quite simple, didn't have any mention of his children's name. Did have the exact date of death. Any suggestion or sources to search?

Are you in the Indiana area? I have alot of records from Thos Almon's line. Lets match and compare. Do you have electronic files of your work? I have family tree maker or can export GED files for import.

What is your linage? How are you related to the ALMON's?
