Question:

Are there any good resources besides the census for Fountain County, Indiana research? Any help appreciated!?

I have two families that I am trying to find who were last found in the census in Fountain county, Indiana. The mothers of both families were sisters who were born with the surname Morton.

Gracey Morton married Thomas Sherman in Muskingum County, Ohio on April 26, 1822 and left Ohio between 1850 and 1860. They are in the 1860 census in Attica.

Source Citation: Year: 1860; Census Place: Attica, Fountain, Indiana; Roll: M653_258; Page: 623; Image: 104.

Matilda Morton married Henry Miner in Muskingum county, Ohio on March 10, 1833 and left Ohio also between 1850 and 1860. The Henry Miner family was in Warren County, Indiana in 1860 (Source Citation: Year: 1860; Census Place: Washington, Warren, Indiana; Roll: M653_305; Page: 678; Image: 231.)

and in 1870 they were in Fountain county (Source Citation: Year: 1870; Census Place: Logan, Fountain, Indiana; Roll: M593_314; Page: 89; Image: 178.)

After the respective Fountain County censuses, I lose track of both sisters.

Yes, I saw the message board, but the lady researching doesn't have any more information than I do. Thanks for sharing that though.
