I finally made my way to Fountain City!!I found Edward's gravesite (which was very well preserved, although the cemetery was quite overgrown and VERY unkempt) I also found Sarah Ann (who's stone was broken and hardly readable) and I even found Phillis, who I never expected to find (Phillis was the black "mammie" as she was called, who Edward brought from N.C. to Indiana with him, his wife and 18 CHILDREN!!Edward was a quaker, so I'm not sure why she was with them, unless he was trying to keep her from being a slave)I also found his father's two story log cabbin (which was built in 1808!!!)All in all, a good and successful trip.Thanks again for the information everyone!!
