LETTER FROM HELEN (PAYNE) NORMAN TO LULIE DAVIS AT THE WASHINGTON COUNTY, INDIANA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Louisville, KY

18 February 1969

My dear Miss Lulie,

Please pardon my seemingly familiarity but so many friends have spoken of you in such affectionate terms that I feel I almost know you.

Perhaps Mrs. Pennington has mentioned that I am diligently trying to complete my Dawalt line, -- by the generous assistance of dear Leafa Payne Baynes. I completed my McCoy - Payne line & was received into membership in D. A. R. on 6 December 1968 (No. 537358). However my grandmother Anna Lucinda Tilford Payne was so proud of her Dawalt ancestry that I am very eager to complete this line for our posterity who may be appreciative of this effort.

Several persons have suggested you may be able to furnish the information desired in my outline.

In the "Historical Notes Concerning the Dawalt Family in Indiana" page 7 (Leafa's copy which was compiled Nora Dawalt Short) Polly is shown as child No. 4 of Henry Dawalt & Elizabeth Gross, - she is shown as married to Scott Tilford but unfortunately no birth or death dates are shown. Actually they were married only from 3/8/1827 to 9/15/1829 (his death is stated in the probating of his will), - so she may have remarried. I can find nothing regarding the day & month of William's birth but he is mentioned in John Scott Tilford's will, -- also I have a copy of both Anna Mary & John's marriage license & one of William & M. Elizabeth Denny's. I think it was Mr. Pete Hilton who suggested you had information regarding William's grave in Illinois, -- will you be so kind as to check your sources of historical data and see if you can find anything regarding these blanks?

I must tell you that your fame spreads far into the south, -- my cousin in Savannah, Ga. (presently in Alma, Ga) suggested your name, -- said you had furnished help for her mother who was my half aunt, -- Dora Lear, -- you may know that her father (my grandfather) was married twice -- my mother Frances Evelyn was daughter of James M. Lear and Frances Emmaline Cuddy, -- Frances Emmaline died when my mother was 9 days old & my mother was adopted by Mrs. Dennis Brewer (Anna) a sister to Mr. Sam Newlon (they are all buried at Hebron) (to keep the record straight, Frances Emmaline is buried at St. Joe Catholic Cemetery at St. Joe, Ind.)

I am most appreciative & grateful for any time - effort you may give to this very important research! My husband & I visited Leafa this past Tuesday - she is indeed a marvelous & delightful person, -- & I might add, I always hear this same remark about you! Thank you again!

Sincerely,

Helen Payne Norman

(Mrs. W. T. Norman)
