SOURCES: The beginnings of my research came from the research originally 
done by Meda Garrigues around 1900 and carried on by Gertrude McMullen 
Heitmeyer in the 1970s.  I obtained a copy of the little booklet Gertrude 
printed up for a family reunion in around 1975 - then travelled to 
Dearborn Co., met with Gertrude and filmed the original homestead homesite 
and many of the graves.  My research started from there.

I originally found the information for Daniel, Samuel and Ella 
Abby from a book called "Early Dearborn Marriages" that's in the LDS 
Family History Library.  I do not know the call numbers for it. 
Ella  signed her name as 'Abby' on her marriage certificate but she was 
married by the Reverend Alfred Johnson Cotton and in his book, Cotton's 
Keepsakes, he lists (among the marriages he performed) Ella McMullen and 
Ira Tinker.  Family lore said she was 'Ella' as well.
