Kentuckiana Genealogy: County: Crawford Co., Indiana: Searching Merritt, Blackburn

By Georgia Merritt Estes (12.41.226.137) on Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 07:30 pm:

My great-grandmother was supposed to be born in Crawford Co., Indiana in l9l9. Her name was Eleanor (Nellie) Blackburn. She married John S. Merritt in l940 in Washington Co., Indiana. They had several children...and I believe all were born in Crawford Co.

Do you have any birth records that might show who her parents were? Or for that matter, on John S. Merritt's (l8l8) birth in either Kentucky or Indiana. (We have some who say one, and some the other...I think there is confusion because they had a son also named John S. Merritt.)

Thankyou
