2 vols: Death In Richmond and Wayne County, Indiana, ca. 1890-ca. 1935
Scope and Contents
The Webster Parry Collection consists of correspondence and genealogical data collected by Webster Parry, a Quaker genealogist of Richmond,Indiana. It includes genealogies of the White, Webster, and Parry families, abstracts of Indiana and North Carolina Quaker records, and lists of deaths, ca. 1890-ca. 1935, in the Wayne County, Indiana area. Parry's ledgers of death records were digitized in 2014 by Ancestry.com. The citation Ancestry uses is "Earlham College; Richmond, Indiana; Quaker Death Records, 1890-1935; Collection: Miscellaneous Vital Record." Parry would record any death he heard about in the Wayne county area, including non-Quakers. So while we would likely have information in our collection on the Quakers he records in his ledgers, we are unlikely to have information on the non-Quakers listed.
