JOHN WILEY DALLAS ; HARDESTY ? ; VIRGINIA; OHIO ; VERMILLION CO, INDIANA
Can anyone tell me more about the DALLAS family of Vermillion Co, Indiana ?
I found on-line, but not sure if accurate, a JOHN WILEY DALLAS, born 9 May 1830 in Virginia. That he married HARRIETT C. LAURENCE.He is listed as son of WILLIAM H. DALLAS (b. 1802 Ohio) and ELIZABETH HARDESTY.William Dallas died 1854 in Vermillion Co, Indiana.
William H. Dallas is listed as son of ALEXANDER DALLAS (b. 1775 Belmont Co, OH) and SARAH HARDESTY.
The above John Wiley Dallas has listed as siblings:JAMES CLEMENS DALLAS (b 1832 VA), MARGARET JANE DALLAS (b 1834 VA), and SAMUEL SPRIGG DALLAS (b 1841 Ohio Co, W VA)
John W. Dallas and Harriett are in 1860 Census, Vermillion Co, IN. There is a John W. Dallas and Caroline in Jasper Co, IN, 1870 Census.Are they the same ?
AND THEN .... in 1880 Tompkinsville, Monroe Co, KY:John W. Dallas and wife Mollie, with kids.I think this may be same family, Mollie is Mary Colter or Calfe ...his second wife.
Can anyone tell me more of this family, and if the John Wiley Dallas (son of William and Elizabeth) is the SAME John W. Dallas (with wife Mollie) in Monroe Co, KY ??
Also wonder where exactly in Virginia did this Dallas family come from ??
Thanks so much for any help or insight.Jön-Eric Thomas, Lexington, NCjonericthomas @ aol.com
