Message Board Post:
My 3rd great-grandfather is William Bland. He was born about 1838, probably in Greene County, IN. He married Mary (Skinner) Brock in 1858.
I find Wm. Bland in the Indiana State Prison for murder on the 1860 census! The census indicates he's been there since 1859. Mary and their daughter Eliza are living with Mary's mom. William's back out by the 1870 census.
Does anyone know what murder William was involved in? How can I find out more about this?
Thanks,
Debbi
