Karen, I am looking for FAUCETT(FAWCETT) info. My ggrandmother was Josephine Faucett Osborn. I don't know if she was from Hancock Co., but I have her later in Hamilton and Tipton Co. She was b.15Oct1868 and died in 1948 in Tipton. She was married to Argo Grant Osborn (b.10April1862, d.11July1936). They had 4 children: Harrison "Harry" Morton Osborn, Ethel Marie Osborn, Virgile Garnet Osborn, and my grandmother Beatrice Osborn. I have a few pictures of Josephine but know nothing about her past. It is rumored that her family moved to Indiana from somewhere in the South.

Albert PICKARD, civil war veteran, died May 14, 1910 in Greenfield, Hancock Co., In. Would like to know where he is buried. The cemetery listed on his death certificate is such a scrambled mess that the name of the cemetery cannot be identified. There are no newspapers available for this date to find an obituary. Any help would be just great. He is entitled to a monument and I'd like to get him one.

HI - Looking for some assistance with a recent discovery.
A cousin Edith Margaret DICKERSON reports that she was born June 20, 1916 in Maxwell, Hancock County, Indiana while her parents lived there between 1915 and 1918. Her parents were "helping a SKELTON relative with an orchard". Possible Skelton relatives could be Columbus or his son Charles. Any further info would be appreciated. Thanks!
