Brandenbergs in Madison Co., Indiana, ca. 1850s
My Noland and VanMeter ancestors lived in early Madison County, and I have seen the Brandenberg name in records concerning them.The following is from "The Pioneers of Madiso and Hancock Counties" (Indiana) by Samuel Harden.I believe the book was written in the late 1800s:
"John Martin entered the land where the 'Mounds' are, and built his house just east of them.Frederick Brandenberg, Jr., bought the farm of Mr. Martin and owns it still."
It is possible I have seen references to them in information about the old United Brethren Church in Madison County.I believe there is a cemetery where many of the early settlers are buried.
I am not researching these people, but believe I have information about them in my Noland book by Edward Ronsheim.
