Dear ResearcherA^olunteer

Thank you for all the time you put in for the benefit

of

people who are researchingin

Mason county particularly people like myself who are unable to travel in person to your

resour es

I am looking for any information on theorigins of my great grandmother Aurel Belle

Thompson, thatyoucan provide. I have

enclosed

a littlebit onher, such as her parents

but this information is very

sketchy.

As you can see. Mason Warren Co is listedas her

birthplace.

Aurel Belleis also spelledArabella Arabelle Belle Bella and a host of misspellings. 1

generallyuse Arabella as the preferred spelling.

There

is alsoa

family

in

Monroe, Ohio

at aboutthe

same

timewith

Albert Thompson

and

Rachel MalindaCrago Thompson. Their

family

includes a son named Thurman

Thompson, bl860 and a daughter named

Arabella,

bl870.

Arabella

didnot show upin

the 1880 census so its possible shepassed away. So far, I have not beenableto linkthis

family

with my family, so maybe it s a major

coincidence,

butis

very tempting

to

think

there is a relationship.

The

only

other evidence

I have isan Aug 5 1916 Delaware co IN marriage certificate

210) for

Edith

L Burkey, in

which Arabella

Burkey signs for her

daughter

and lists

Mason Ohio as her birthplace. She signedas Belle. The clerkmisspelled her as

Aurahbele.

After

hermarriage to PeterBurkey/Berkey in

1881

in Muncie, IN I have

considerable

information on her mainly with regards to her children.

I would be interested in anynewinformation thatyouor yourvolunteers canfind or even

information that corroborates what I already have.
