I have been looking for Bryte's but in Ohio. A John Bryte settled in Green Co. Ohio between 1809 and 1819. Aat that time he spelled his name BRYTE, but in the 1820 census hsi named had changed to the other spelling. He had a son named Nathaniel and one David also (we hope a daughter named Nancy).. His wife was Hanna Clauer. They both are buried in Green County. I know that this is not Hancock
County Indiana, but the timeperiod seems about right for other members of the family. I have not bveen able to find where John Bright came from. He just arrived and started digging in the Indian Burial mounds of the area.

Looking for any information in regards to the name Eichman(n) or Eikman from the New Palestine area. A hazarded guess would be approximately around 1850 or later. I do know that a man from New Pal changed the spelling. My husband's grandfather, Paul Maynard Eikman, spoke only German as a child. His father or great grandfather may have been an immigrant. Paul may have been born in Hancock County and later moved to Shelby County, Fairland area. This is where my father-in-law, Lewis Edward Eikman, was born and raised. Cannot find the name prior to 1850. Any information would be appreciated.

A family of Haywoods came to Handcock, County , Indiana between 1820 and 1840, from Kentucky. My gggrandfather was Elzy Haywood who was born in Handcock, County, In., in 1843. Elzy Haywood married there to a woman named Margarett, and had at least three children, Melissa Haywood , Monteval Haywood, and Austin Haywood. Austin Haywood was born in Handcock County in 1869, and Melissa was born in Handcock County in 1862. Elzy must have got a divorce, or his wife died because he came back to Kentucky in 1877. The spelling for some of the Haywoods before coming to Kentucky was Haygood. Can anyone give me any information on any of these people.. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Margaret A. Harvey <mah0mdk@aol.com> on Sun, 17 May 1998
Searching for information on the Levi HARVEY family listed in Hancock County census both in 1850 and 1860. In 1850, the family was listed in Jones Township, and in 1860, in Sugar Creek Township. (Based on a quick review of the County History, I'm assuming they were probably farming the same land and that the township organization merely changed around them.) Levi was born ~1807 in VT; his wife Sophia was born ~1810 in NY. The eldest child, Jerusba (sp?), was born ~1832 in OH. Children William H., John A., Nancy A., Noah M., George W., Sarah C., and Susan were born in IND between 1835 and 1853. By 1870 many of the family members were in IL; however it would appear that Jerusba, John A., Nancy A., and Noah M. may have remained in IN. Also appearing in the 1860 census was a Rufus HARVEY from VT. Am interested in determining whether he was related to Levi -- both from VT, and one of Levi's grandchildren was named Rufus.
Many thanks!
