Pam-
So glad to hear the web site has been helpful and thank you so much for the super sweet offer to look up. I don't have anything at the moment, but if you stumble across any McMullen's in Dearborn County, they're most likely mine and any info you forward would be most appreciated. Hope your trip is safe and very fruitful for you.

Thank you so much for the myindianagenelogy.com web site. I am driving to Indiana tomorrow with plans to research in Dearborn County and possibly Clark County and Cincy. Can I look up anything for you? Pam

They were in either/both Huntingdon and Franklin in PA. They didn't leave many records in PA that I've found (yet), so still trying to pin them down exactly.

I'm west coast and haven't actually gotten out to IN, hopefully someday. I do know the courthouse burnt down in mar 1826 and most records were lost. I checked myindianagenealogy.com and they list this info:
Dearborn County Clerk has Marriage Records from 1806 , Probate Records from 1824 and Court Records from 1824

Dearborn County Recorder has Land Records from 1821

They don't list wills, but I'm guessing 1824-1826 based on the court records (and fire).

I know the FHL has some probate records microfilmed; another McMullen researcher found info on our family in their collection. In case you want to get a head start on your research trip.

Hope that helps.

Did they move from Washington Co. PA? I am going to have to do some research in Dearborn County in the near future. Trying to track Edward Jackman who moved in the vicinity after 1787 from Washington Co. Do you know how far the property, wills, and court records go back to in Dearborn County?

My family is the Hugh and Nancy McMullen's of Dearborn Co. They moved there from Pennsylvania in 1817.
