Hello,
ReplyDeleteI have been doing a lot of research in the Spencer County, Indiana area, and I was just wondering if you might possibly be aware of any family link between your Weill family of Daviess County, KY and the Weil family of Rockport, Spencer County, IN? The oldest known Spencer County Weil ancestor was a Ferdinand Weil who was born about 1842, supposedly born in Baden. A friend and I are also documenting several of the small cemetery plots in the Spencer County area, and we were quite surprised to find your grandmother's, Mary Lura Morgan Weill, cemetery marker located near Rockport, which again makes us wonder about a potential family link to the Owensboro Weills. The Rockport Weil family owned and operated a clothing store on Main Street. Any information you may possibly be willing or able to share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and attention.
Respectfully yours,

Mary Lura's marker is there because we scattered her ashes there while living in that house on Eureka road. To the best of my knowledge, any common thread with the Spencer County Weills would have been long ago in Alsace. My mother was a transplant to Indiana.
