Because of the number of people buried in these cemeteries and the various surnames involved – I thought it best to give this list it’s own thread.
This website gives you a list containing 2 cemeteries in Warrick Co., IN. “Folsomville” and “Leslie”.
In the Leslie Cemetery you will find Amos Hodges whom we believe but have not proven to be the father of our Polly Hodges (or Mary “Polly” Hodges) and her Mother Catherine (Staton) Hodges. It also contains several Gentry’s and another family that’s also related to these 2 families – the Leslie’s.

OK – The link didn’t work the way I put it in. So – Let’s try it again.:o

Actually I was in a bit of a rush when I first made this thread. The list contains 6 cemeteries in Warrick County, Indiana.
Folsomville; Leslie; Sharon; Oak Grove; Garrison; and Nanney Cemeteries.
🙂
Tahcaska,
😀 I didn’t realize they were all connected.:cool: Also, how can we find out what NA burial ground lies under the parking lot?;) And, here goes, where the heck did Catharine come from?:D Seriously! I have Jehu & Mahala as parents of “Nancy Staton” who was married to Matthew Gentry, who were the parents of John Gentry and there is his Sara Reed and it’s off of Sara Reed where the Hodges come in. :p Of coarse, I’m looking at 3 different piles of paper here and it’s that time again! z-z-z-z-z-z’s are coming on! Lets fix up our Nancy? Catherine Staton the poor woman could have an identity crisis!:D Wonder what Bill has? Thank you for the Cem. stuff. Now I gotta’ know more! Love & Light, Rainhawk.
P.S, Happy Hunting tomorrow and GOOD LUCK!
Man, there are A LOT of people there! How many acres does this take up? Sounds like the whole darn county and then some! I saw your Catherine on there.:D O.k. 😉 lets dig into that some more. You’ve gotten my curiosity up! Boy when I saw a Stephen Ashby on there my heart stopped, but there’s no way that’s ours from right now. A lot of people! 😎 Thank you again bud!
Lynella – They’re not all connected – they are actually seperate cemeteries scattered around Warrick Co. The Person who made this list just ran all the data together on one page. 🙂
:p Well, you’ll have that!;) So Catherine would have been Mary’s mother, right? Because I found a Judith Gentry married to an Amos Hodges, and Judith’s parents were Joseph Gentry and Agnes Shelton, but boy howdy, they are ALL RELATED! I love you, good luck again, Lynella.
But I also have an Agnes Hodges here????:)
Yo Lyn – We have no definate proof yet, as to whom Polly’s parents were, only Circumstantial evidence. Were still going to need a Marriage record for William Reed and Polly to see if they list her parents any where on it. Here’s what Bill had to say to me in an e-mail about a week ago. 🙂
” Amos Hodges (son of William and Agnes Gentry Hodges) and Catherine Staton (Amos & Catherine m’d 6 Nov 1811 Warren Co., Ky) (Catherine, dau of Jehu Staton and Mahala (?) ) are the likely parents of Polly Hodges but I have only circumstancial proof for her parents. There is a census taker’s error on the 1830 Warrick Co census which omitted the ennumeration of females in Amos’s household, preventing anyone from proving Amos had a dau of Polly’s age. Both these Hodges and Statons are related to the Warrick Co. Sheltons & Gentrys and the later two are related (via Surry Co, SC and Pittsylvania Co., Va) to Wm. COLLINS of s.w. Virginia of the mid 1700s.
p.s…. I think their marriage license is very important in proving who her parents were. “
COOL!
I’ll do what ever I can to help get that. You have heard haven’t you? We may get a chance to go in person sometime over the next few months. It’s a horrible thing 🙁 She’s a fighter though and I’m proud to be her baby sister. IF that happens, and I’m not giving up on God’s miracles, but perhaps we can find Bill & buy him lunch! I LOVE YOU. LYNELLA.
P.S. Did you have any luck in MD with any of the stuff?:)
Kerry,
I was just curious, have we found any history pertaining to what burial ground that parking lot may have been? I know that’s not a priority right now. But ya’ know we come across the darndest things when we do this stuff. 😉 So now it’s bugging me! Love & Light, #9.
Lyn;
Nope – not yet. I been too busy with the Ricketts and Hodges stuff. But let’s not forget about it. We need to get a legal description of the land and see what its’ history is. Not sure how to dig into the past of a piece of property. What we may need is a Warrick County History book – one of us is going to have to visit the Warrick Co., Library in Booneville.:cool:
Kerry & Lynella,
Try the BLM (“google” Bureau of Land Management) for early records. More recent records would, as you noted, only be available at county courthouses but you might try the Indiana State Library website. Some of their online offerings have often been surprising.

Bill an Lyn;
I’ve been using the BLM records to look up the land records for OUR early ancestors. But in general you need a persons name, and/or a legal description of the piece of property. The piece of property in question is the parking lot of the Leslie cemetery in Warrick County. We would need to know who the original land patent was issued to. (Wouldn’t we?) Or am I missing something?
:confused:
Kerry or Lyn,
Try calling the Warrick Co Clerk’s office in Boonville and see if they can come up with the information.
The BLM data is ususally listed by Prime Meridian, Section and Township. The Co.Clerk’s office should have some idea of what that location’s P-S-T was/is. They probably only think of it now as a specific “Plat number”, but someone there would know how a specific Plat number relates to a specific place’s location and be able to convert that to the P-S-T for that location as the BLM designates it. It won’t sound “weird” to them.
Bill
