Below you will find a short summary of the surnames we are researching. I have also included some dates and locations. If you have any information on any of these families, please contact us through our home page.
HALL:
Herschel Hall is the son of Otis and Grace Hall. He was born in Illinois in 1913 and died in Terre Haute, IN in 1982. He had one sister named Mabel Cardinal who died in 1995. Otis' father was Granville Hall. No further information on this family.
SUMMERLOTT:
Chloe Summerlott married Burley B. Fulk February 4, 1905. Chloe is the daughter of Mary Etta Sipes and William Summerlott. William is the son of David Summerlott and Elizabeth Hyett. David is the son of Johannes Summerlott and Mary Rider. Johannes is the son of Valentine Summerlott and Elizabeth Rau. The question we have for this family is why Chloe Summerlott was not listed in any of the family information. Story from my grandmother is that she may have been disinherited by the family for marrying Burley Fulk. I have information on her descendents for anyone who is interested.
FULK:
Burley B Fulk was born ca. 1880. He married Chloe Summerlott February 4, 1905. Burley is the son of John Wesley Fulk and Matilda J. Fulk.
John Wesley Fulk was born March 2, 1831 and he died March 1, 1907 in Owen County, IN. He married Matilda J. Fulk on February 3, 1858. John was the son of John Fulk (2) and Susanna Booze.
John Fulk (2) was born November 18, 1805. He died after 1860 in Indiana. He married Susanna Booze November 5, 1828. Susanna was born in 1814 in North Carolina and she died after 1850 in Indiana. John Fulk (2) was the son of John Fulk (3) and Elizabeth Fiscus.
John Fulk (3) was born January 6, 1779 in North Carolina. He was married March 14, 1801 in Stokes County, North Carolina to Elizabeth Fiscus (the daughter of John Adam Fiscus and Elizabeth Spainhower). She was born August 14, 1783 and died after 1860.
I have information on the Spainhower and Fiscus family but would love to learn more.
Matilda J Fulk was born March 13, 1839 and died March 3, 1906 in Owen County, IN. She married John Wesley Fulk and is buried next to him in Pleasant Bethel Cemetery, in Owen County, IN. Matilda is the daughter of Charles Fulk and Mary Catherine Fiscus.
Charles Fulk was born ca 1817 and died April 21, 1850. He married February 2, 1838 in Owen County, IN. His wife, Mary Catherine Fiscus is the daughter of John Frederick Fiscus and Margaret George.
John Frederick Fiscus (father of Mary Catherine Fiscus) and John Adam Fiscus (father of Elizabeth Fiscus) were half brothers, both being the sons of Frederick Fiscus Sr.
While this line sounds confusing, the Fiscus line is pretty easy to figure out with our Family Tree Maker program. We are looking, though, for information of the two Fulk lines mentioned. We have no information prior John Fulk (3) and Charles Fulk.
EATON:
Earl Eaton was born October 18, 1911 in Harvey City, IL to Charles Edward Eaton and Edna Mae Higgenbotham. He married Mabel Loretta Connett. He died April 22, 1995 In Terre Haute, IN.
We are searching for more information on the Eaton family. Grandpa Eaton told us his mother died when he was 8 years old and he and his brothers had to build her casket to bury her in. We have no information on his father. This family was in Harvey, Cook County, IL when he was born in 1911 and in Taylorville, Christian County, IL in 1916 when his brother Arthur Eaton was born.
CHANEY:
Herschel Edward Chaney born January 6, 1895 and he died December 4, 1958. Herschel was the son of Alice Moore and Joshua Chaney.
I have no further information on the Chaney side other than at one time Joshua Chaney lived in Danville, IN. I know he married Alice Moore Craig on April 9, 1893
