This week I have been working on my step-fathers family. He ask a long time ago about his family. Now I know. At least some of them. His 82nd birthday is coming up and I am going to do a book for him. I've found photos and lots of information.
One thing I think he will like is his great-grandfather, Samuel Taylor Hughes. According to many sources, this mans house still stands and is active. The house is a log cabin type house. When I say active I mean very active. It's the Samuel T. Hughes house in Spring Mill State Park in Indiana. How cool is that? I was so excited when I found that. But I would like to verify it.
I have had trouble getting very far with his Kiser line. There are so many spellings of the name and I can go not farther than his great-great-grandfather, Hiram "Samuel" Kiser, born about 1780. My feeling is that "Samuel" was the ancestor that moved into Indiana. Before that they were not in the state.
The Hunsucker line has not been hard to find. There are many sources, and many researching the line. It's a Swiss line, like one of my own line.
A couple of weeks ago his brother died, so all of his siblings are gone. Last year he lost a daughter.
