Copyright © March, 1986 Dallas Genealogical Society Dallas, Texas EDITOR'S DESK A number of expressions of appreciation are in order, not only this quarter, but each quarter during which I have been xcur editor, for the wonderful assistance offered by various members. First and foremost, to Marjorie Radley, your former Editor (1984-85), who has continued to prepare the Acquisition Lists for publication, and thus has considerably lightened the load of preparing each quarterly; then also to Margaret Ann Thetford, who obtained approval of THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS for us to use their "Metro Past" publications of items from their back files as fillers, and to THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS for allowing that use. Thanks also to Jeanne Tabb, who consistently supplies interesti?<:/ material, such as the early Tarrant County census material published in our December quarterly which had been found mixed on the reel with the Ellis County microfilmed census. Thanks to Pat Hatcher, who has helped by alphabetizing our Dallas County Marriages; and to Pat llatcher and Robert Johnsey, who have helped your editor, a neoph):'te computer operator, a greatdealwith numerous problems which have arisen. Our Quarterly has been carrying a good deal of material that will be valuable for future research use -- but I feel it would be of more general interest to our members if all of this excellent Courthouse material were interspersed with articles written by our members on ''How I solved this or that problem!" "How I interested my family in genealogy," -- and when we have a particularly good speaker at our meetings, if a copy could be provided to the quarterly for reprint purposes, wouldn't that be of interest? This is your quarterly -- and if you can send in some interestin9 material for publication -- every member of our society can benefit by it. In our September quarterly last year, I urged people to send in their family charts, feeling if there were sufficient interest we might be able to plan a new publication of our member's ancestors -- as Collin county has just done (see our Book Review section). Perhaps you missed my request, but if you'd like to see this family information published, please send in your 5-generation chart for that purpose. I have received only three or four of them, and while I haven't begun working on them, I will be retiring from my working career as a legal secretary as of March lst, and now, more than ever before, I can anticipate being able to work on your charts. Be sure hey are dated, so that if you have sent any earlier on which you might now have updated information, we will be sure to use the most recent and complete. You will remember that we issued such a publication five years ago -- and there are many charts in our files that were not received in time to be included. We will need to determine how many of those charts are from our present members -­ include any address changes -- and decide whether to include the charts of past members. It would probably not be advisable to use them, as earlier members may have moved to some other city or state, and the purpose of such a publication is to allow each of us to contact others researching the same family lines. Our Dallas County Marriages will run for at !east one more issue -­ but those that are being published were excerf'ted from records at the Courthouse by a team headed by Clytes CUllar five years ago. They were later re-checked for accuracy at the Courthouse. Very shortly I will arrive at a place in the files where those records have not been re­ checked, and unless another team is formed for that purpose, it may""l5e deemed advisable to hold up on printing them until they are rechecked. On the other hand -- these are taken from handwritten records -- and sometimes I wonder if the first person who checked them might not be just as accurate as the second! It's often just a matter of interpretation! If you have any genealogical material that would be interesting to include in the quarterly, please send it in! In the meantime, see you at the library!

  • Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science
    Our Highways, An Indian Heritage Floy Hurlbut, Ball State Teachers' College Before the coming of the white man, Indiana was an impenetrable wilderness. It was heavily forested, the forests choked with a dense cover of undergrowth and then entwined with wild grape vines. In the north and central parts, swamps were widespread, and the whole area inhabited by wild beasts and a few tribes of semi-nomadic Indians. Because land transportation was so difficult, the earliest routes of the white man into Indiana were the waterways. Along the south, the Ohio gave access from Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas. The Cumberland Gap was an easy passage from the Carolinas and Eastern Tennessee to Kentucky, down the Kentucky River to the Ohio and to one of the major crossings of the Ohio at Madison. The crossing above the Falls at Louisville was the route followed by George Rogers Clark into Indiana. There was a third crossing at Evansville and one at Lawrence- burg. Some of the early settlers continued on down the Ohio to the Wabash, and up the Wabash. The early history of Vincennes and New Harmony are well known. In the northern part of the state, the St. Joseph was one of the early transportation routes up the river from its mouth at Benton Harbor, or La Salle's Fort Miamis, to the big bend at South Bend, then across a short portage to the headwaters of the Kankakee, down the Kankakee, the Illinois and Mississippi rivers to the Gulf. This was the route followed by La Salle in his journey to the mouth of the great "Father of Waters." Another water route was by way of Lake Erie, the Maumee River, a short portage from the Maumee to the Little Wabash, and down the Wabash to the Ohio.

  • Recent Articles, Pamphlets, and Dissertations in Indiana History
    Recent Articles, Pamphlets, and Dissertations in Indiana History Compiled by Robert G. Barrows Editor’s Note. This list of articles, pamphlets, and dissertations published from 1984 through 1987 is intended as a bibliographic contribution to Indiana’s history. We hope to present such a list in each March issue of the Indiana Magazine of History. We recognize that the list is neither complete nor systematic in coverage, and we hope that readers will help us by sending items for possible inclu- sion. We are especially interested in listing publications that make some contribution to understanding Indiana’s past but that are not normally reviewed in the IMH. Generally, we will not list news- paper articles or accounts of local historical society activities, but printed pamphlets as well as journal articles may be listed. All such items for the March, 1989, issue must be received by Decem- ber 1, 1988. Many people have contributed to the present list, but major responsibility has rested with Robert G. Barrows of the In- diana Historical Bureau. Adams County Yesterday and Today (Adams County-Decatur Ses- quicentennial Committee, 1986).

The goal of the canal project was to connect the upper portions of the Wabash and Erie Canals with the southwestern river town of Evansville. There was also a Whitewater Canal extension near Muncie, the White River waterway in Indianapolis, as well as a “Cross Cut” canal running east from Terre Haute to Worthington. Working along with the canals were a Madison railroad, the Michigan road that ran north and south, and the National Road that went east and west. Jesse Lynch Williams (1807–1886) was the chief engineer in charge of the Indiana canal project. The project was designed to improve transportation to the center of the state. Construction began in 1836 on the 10 million dollar project, but by the end of the decade fraud, ineptitude, and international financial panic led to the defaulting of the loan causing construction to be stopped.
