My husband has a number of ancestors with the last name of PAUGH and MOUNTS that we understand died and were buried in Switzerland Co., IN. I checked through the cemeteries that are listed at the top of this page and could not find any of them. Was wondering if anyone might know anything about these families.

I have found out more recently that Thomas Mounts settled and lived on the banks of the Ohio River at the mouth of Grants Creek, until his death in 1849. I am attempting to find where he was buried. I also now know that there is a cemetery by the name of Grant's Creek in Posey Township, but I have not been able to find a listing of those who are buried there. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I have heard that my ancestor, John Wesley Leap, is buried in Switzerland Co., perhaps in Vevay. We are told that there is a monument on his grave that was donated by many in the county because he was a Revolutionary War soldier (perhaps of some notoriety?). John W. Leap, born in 1733, may be the grandfather of John W. Leap, who was enlisted in the Indiana Militia in 1862. Any help would be appreciated. Glenn-ruth@juno.com

I am a Shaw descendant (John - William - Archibald - Edward - Dorothy) I was wondering if anybody could transcribe the Shaw cemetery. I live in Florida and I have two small children.

I am looking for information on Jeremiah Sheldon and Susannah Johnson who went to Indiana from Dutchess County NY perhaps around 1810-1820. Their son, David Sheldon was the father of my great, great grandmother, Laura F. Sheldon b.1852 Hamilton county, Ohio. David Sheldon can be found married to a Margaret Rosebrough but family info. mentions a Mary Parcels(widow). The name Rising Sun, Indiana is mentioned in family info. We think David Sheldon ended up in Hamilton County, Ohio. Anyone have anything? Thanks.

Looking for brother to my great-grandmother. He was born Dempsey Bosaw 8-13-1867 (according to his sister's bible). Changed name to John "Jack" Dempsey. Obit from Plainville said he was born 1869, was 62 when he died. Conflict of death: 1929 or 1931. Obit (which does not have a date on it) says he was taken to Vevay for burial. Would like to pinpoint death date so I can obtain death certificate. Most likely buried under name of "John (Jack) Dempsey" but I suppose "Dempsey Bosaw" is also possible. Any help much appreciated. Please contact privately at kclanin@fix.net, thanks. Karen Clanin

I'm interested in the Grant Brother's Cemetery: who is buried there; who established it; whose land is it located on, etc. Is there someone who knows anything about this cemetery?
| By Fred Gullion on Friday, February 04, 2005 - 03:11 pm: |
In answer to George Drew's question about the Gullion Cemetery and school house. The cemetery is located on the Leroy Patterson farm at the Indiana
side of the Markland Bridge. It is on private property. Mr Patterson has allowed me to see the grave yard but the stones are all piled against a tree near where the cemetery is located. I talked to the county Commissioners at one time about getting the cemetery cared for but that was a waste of time.
The old Gullion School house is long gone. It did set in the direct path of the approach to the bridge.
