      David, here is the final draft of the family of James Hamilton Vanhoy.

      James Hamilton Vanhoy and his wife Frances Marshall & 6 children left Stokes
      County, NC in the spring of 1829 destined for Perry Township, Martin County,
      Indiana. They traveled west across Northern North Carolina into Southern
      Virginia on into Kentucky by way of the Cumberland Gap and then turned north
      by NW until arriving at what is now known as Brandenburg, KY where they
      boarded a riverboat and down the Ohio to Fredonia, Indiana from there they
      traveled by wagon up through Central Indiana to what is now known as Mitchell
      and turned west till they arrived in Martin County, Indiana.

      James H. Vanhoy in May 1829 purchased from his son-in-law William Joseph
      Dobson 70 acres. Shortly there after his son-in-law passed away from either
      typhoid or consumption.

      The following person that were once named as children of James Hamilton
      Vanhoy are to be deleted.
      1. Ada Vanhoy supposedly born 1815-1820 she never existed.
      2. James Vanhoy Jr., born 1829 but was not. He is in fact the son of Charles
      B. Vanhoy and Rebecca Greenwell b. 1814 (This date is an error. See the next email message Below DWM) and died late 1870 after the Census
      of Consumption. He is buried at Love Methodist Cemetery in Martin County,IN.
      and his headstone is marked "J.V." only.

      Everybody has been checked and accounted for by either Family records
      supplied to me or Courthouse Documents or a combination of both and or from
      cemetery records and church records.

      The following individuals are to be credited with their assistance in the
      research of this family for without them the truth would never have been known.

      Wade & Betty Hicks descendant of William Clayton Vanhoy
      Bill Mitchell descendant of Addie VanHoy & Lincoln Walton. This Addie VanHoy
      was the d/o Charles B. VanHoy and Rebecca Greenwell.

      Sincerely:
      Paul D. VanHoy Sr.

      No what I found out was that was that James David Vanhoy was actually born
      1854 and died sometime after the Census of 1870 and most probably right about
      1870.
      He was buried at Love Cemetery behind his Grandfather.

      Now next to James Hamilton Vanhoy's grave are two other plots which I intend
      to investigate. They may be empty plots or the tombstones may well have been
      knocked over years ago and be just below the surface. Won't be able to do so
      until next spring when the ground has dried out some to get to the Cemetery.
      The Month of Oct and NOV produced well over 14" of rain for SW Indiana this
      year. Thank God it wasn't snow.

      Hope that has everything clarified.
      Paul
