Ancestors

Mary Deal Nugent in 1928
about 70 years of age.

My great grandmother Mary Deal 

was born in Illinois and married 

William J Nugent on Aug 19, 1878 

in Shelby County, Indiana.

Their nine children were:

Gertrude

Phoebe

Lilly B. born July 1879

Ollie E. born July 1882

Rhoda A. was born November 24, 1884 

and married Wilson Wright  August 2, 1905

Bertha Louise born December 5, 1886

and married William Wright December 8,1905

and then many years later, Frank Weintraut

Viola G. born October, 1894

Edna O. was born November 15, 1895

and married William Nave May 1, 1914

Savilla Pearl born June 1892

James H. March 1899

Bertha Louise Nugent in Spencer, Indiana

Summer of 1962, about 76 years of age.

My ancestors were Nugents, Weintrauts, 

 Skirvin, Deals, Driscolls and Brummage.

They came from many states including,

  Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia,

West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky.

Among these ancestors were Shawnee,

Cherokee and Wyandot Indians and my

European ancestry is Irish, Scottish and Prussian.

My mother Lois Ione Vermillion and me.

Finding my ancestors has been a journey 

filled with wonder and reward. Yet, the 

 discovery of their history and individual stories 

has been largely due to several outside factors.

I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the

 extensive genealogy world that now exists 

on the Internet, the generosity of my relatives 

and the kindness of a few absolute strangers.
