52 Ancestors: #32 - Jane Pierce Tuley (abt 1817 IN – aft 1880)

Jane Elizabeth Pierce was born about 1817 in Indiana, according to some records.  I found Jane in both the 1850 and 1880 census records in Spencer County, Indiana.  I don’t have any other good information about her. 

Jane Elizabeth married James Tuley in 1834 in Spencer County, Indiana.  They had at least eight children.  This information is also listed in the blog posting for James M. Tuley.

William R. Tuley was born about 1836 in Indiana.  I believe he died at Anderson Prison in South Carolina in 1864.

Mary Ann Tuley was born in about 1837 in Indiana.  She married John Wright about 1853 and had numerous children.  I believe she died in 1903.

Francis M. Tuley was born about 1841 in Indiana.  I do not have any information about him after 1860.  Did he die during the war?

Paulina Jane Tuley (whose name was listed with many different spellings including Perlina) was born about 1842 in Indiana.  I believe she married William Campbell about 1864 in Indiana.  William probably died between 1905 and 1910.  Paulina died in 1934 in Missouri. 

Eliza L. Tuley was born about 1843 and married Elijah Teague.  I wrote about Eliza before so she has her own blog posting.

John Tuley was born about 1846 in Indiana.  He died sometime after 1860. 

America Tuley was born about 1849 in Indiana.  I believe here are THREE women with this name (two born about 1847-1849) and it’s been difficult for me to sort out which America belongs with which family and to identify their spouses.

Nancy Tuley was born in March 1850 in Indiana.  She married William Masterson in 1869 and I believe she and William only had daughters.

If you are interested in sharing information or if you know more information about these people, I would love to collaborate with you.

If you are interested in collaborating on researching this family, please contact me.  I am especially interested in the Teague and Tuley lines.

GRIP 2014 Monday Summary

Well, I checked in at GRIP Sunday night with no problems.  Met lots of people including Wendy.  She's from the Phoenix area, but the west side.   It no longer seems strange to me to travel about 2500 miles just to meet someone who lives about 30 miles from me.  Michelle from  The Turning of Generations blog is also here. 

Ethernet didn't work  but everything else seemed normal. After dinner, with lots of socializing, I sat down to index for FamilySearch.  Unfortunately, after about an hour of not being able to get on the indexing site, I signed off and went back to my dorm room.  I decided to try something I do periodically at home with our cable box.  I unplugged the box, waited 10 seconds and plugged it in again.  Hurray;  it worked. 

I  knew the answers to about half of the questions, but I still have lots to learn.  And I'm going to have to spend some time thinking about and reviewing what was shown today before I feel that I really understand it.  Oh, yes.  I was able to log into the FamilySearch indexing site during the afternoon break and completed two batches.  So, I did my part in the effort to reach 50,000 indexers in 24 hours. 

I thought I understood y-DNA.  Unfortunately the homework assignment, which I had a chance to work on with three other great ladies, turned out to be a real challenge.  I had looked at it before dinner.  Because our classroom was warm all day, and my head was filled with "stuff", I needed dinner first.  Then back to the homework.  We missed the that Pam Eagleson made on Divorce Records.

So, the y-DNA part was finished and we moved on to mtDNA.  For me that was easier, I think.  We'll see if we have the correct answers this afternoon, I believe.  Or perhaps I'll have a flash of inspiration during the day and learn that my answers are either right or wrong earlier.  We'll see how the day goes. 

Thank you Dana for the mention in your blog, The Enthusiastic Genealogist.  One of the nice extras of a genealogy get-together of any time is the chance to meet those we only know from their on-line presence.

A Game to Learn About Others

I think this idea that Jacqi Stevens wrote about in her blog is a great way to get to know other genealogical society members.  However it could also easily be used in almost any group setting.

Jacqi, of the "A Family Tapestry"  blog wrote this: Three Things You Might Not Know About Me.  I can see so many situations wehre this could be fun, and helpful.

Also, I like the idea of an end-of-year sharing about ancestors with "Bring Your Ancestor to Dinner."

Thank you very much, Jacqi.  

GRIP 2014 - I'm in Pittsburgh

I don't know how much I'll write during GRIP.  The flight arrived early.  I've checked into a hotel and had a light dinner at the restaurant next door.  The weather is a BIG change from Phoenix.  It's cooler, much more humid, drizzling, and a delightf change. 

I brought along the newest NGSQ because I wanted to read the article that Elizabeth Shown Mills wrote about the FAN principle and DNA.  Since it arrived in the mail Thursday I haven't had time to read it.  Michelle Roos Goodrum was on the same plane from Phoenix.  She read the article during the flight.  I'll try to read it tomorrow, since I don't feel that I can concentrate enough tonight. 

I look forward to meeting new GRIP students and seeing those who have attended in the past.  I hope you all arrive safely.
