Family in the Area: Part 2

The Livonia Wm Greenslade Home

close up of family members

The top photograph is of the Wm. M Greenslade family home in Livonia Indiana. The photo dates to approximately the 1890s.

Pictured left to right are as described on the back of the photo are: Will McCord (Stepson), Herbert Edgar Greenslade (Son), Nannie Florence Greenslade (Daughter) William Moore Greenslade (Father) and Josie Greenslade (Maiden name Hamilton - Step Grandmother).

I did not recall my father telling me about Theodore Henry Greenslade having a step brother named Will McCord.  If there are any McCord or Hamilton family members around the Southern Indiana region give me a call.

This home was located on Church Street at the corner of Campbellsburg - Livonia Road.

William Moore Greenslade served in the 81st Indiana Infantry during the Civil War as a Quartermaster Seargant. A Civil War Journal we have from the year 1864 has him in the campaign marching down from Louisville Ky, to Atlanta Ga. He was a first hand witness to the burning of Atlanta by General Sherman's Army.

My family lived in the area from the 1840s up to the late 1890s.

I will eventually retire to the region.  Hopefully settling in either French Lick or West Baden Springs, Indiana.
