McCORMICK
We are trying to find any descendants of Samuel McCormick b. 1 Feb

alleged
to have been a Revolutionary War veteran. James Sr. came to Ohio
(Greene
co) and died there in 1825. When the estate was settled in 1828
(another
mystery--why did it take so long?) his son Samuel paid $5 for the
family
Bible. Samuel then moved to Tippecanoe Co., and are told that he died
there.
He was married to Isabella (Bartels) 1810-1879. We know nothing about
James
Sr's parents, and presume that this Bible might give some clues.

MINNIX, LOVELACE
My mother is Mohawk Indian and was born on the Tippocanoe river
reservation.
The only way she could get her social security was a old family Bible.
Her maiden name was Minnix. Her mother was fun blood Mohawk with the
last
name Georgie Lovelace and her father was Minnix. There has been almost
no way to trace the Mohawk's in Indiana. Any help appreciated.

SHAW, STAFFORD
Looking for any information about the Shaw family that orginated in
Ohio. My great great Grandfather was a William Shaw born April 20,
1807.
He married (I'm sure in Tip.Co) a Martha Stafford who was born in
Tippecanoe
Co. on January 1, 1814. Her parents were Tom and Elizabeth Stafford who
orginated in Perequmans Co. NC. Any information about either family
would
be most helpful. I would like to know who William's parents were. In
the
Iowa 1860 census William and Martha are listed and it says William was
born in Ohio. In some of the other family history that I have says he
is
born in Lafayette, Indiana. I was told he was an only child, but I
believe
they did not know for sure. His parents must be buried in Tippacanoe
County.
William and Martha had three children who died of a fever I think in
1829.
They are surely buried in Tippecanoe County. Their names were
Elizabeth,
Martha Ann, and Thomas. Also a daughter Abigail may have already been
married
or stayed in Indiana.
