Query: I am searching for information on the HARBISON surname. Aaron HARBISON and his wife Eliza BEETS were among the first settlers in Miami County. I believe that Hampton HARBISON was Aarons father but I have no information except his name. The information posted about Miami Co. cemeteries shows a Hampton and Martha HARBISON on page 42. Was Martha his wife? I would appreciate any information (birth, death, maiden name, place of origin, etc.)

Query: Could you please check Vol 1 page 203 for Mary Martin. I would like to know if she is buried in the State Hospital Cemetery and what the dates are
Response: Sorry, the reference to a Mary Martin on page 203 is in an entry for Sarah A. Martin, listed as the daughter of Jesse & Mary Martin. If you believe Mary Martin is buried at the Osawatomie State Hospital, you have to write to the Miami Co. Genealogy Society (P. O. Box 123 66071) because the burials at the cemetery are listed by number and for privacy reasons have not been made public. If she is there the Mi Co Gen Soc has the information and can give it to you.

Query:I am seekin information about a Shawnee family. My family could be buried under Hon-Ne-Quah, this is Shawnee for Squirrel. It is spelled phonitically because there is no correct way to spell in Shawnee. My Uncle spells it Huniqua
Keely ovation@midusa.net
Response: There are no records for Squirrel or Hon-Ne-Quah in the three volumes of cemetery records. It appears that most of the records for Miami County related to the Miami, Wea, Peoria and Plyankicha tribes. Even these records are fairly sparce because the tribes apparently began to relocate to Pottawatomie Co, KS, in the late 1840's or early 1850's, although there are records for baptisms up till about 1861. Kinsella's book History of the Cradleland pp 237-244 lists baptisms, marriages, deaths but mostly 1846-1848.
