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.

Surnames: Willis 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.)

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

Surnames: 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 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.

Surnames: 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 …

Surnames: 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?

The family lived in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Some of the WEEDMAN family moved to PIKE COUNTY, IN. We are more than happy to share information with all cousins.

Surnames: Our research does not show the name of your father; James Rollin Weedman. Do you have names and places of birth and/or death of your grandparents? If we can get back a few generations I am sure we can connect our Weedman families.
