A Special THANKS goes to RCHS member, Pati Smith of Florida, for extracting and typing this history index for the Ripley County Homepage!

FOREWORD BY THE COMPILER
Because of the lapse of time since the organization of Ripley County as a unit of the State of Indiana, the fact that so many families have kept no written records of their families, and the difficulty caused by lack of funds and the scarcity of workers in collecting data for this volume, it will necessarily to have important items omitted and many inaccuracies.
The compiler is striving to arrange in a somewhat readable and coherent style information obtained from many of the sources of historical information, i.e. cemeteries, public and family records, newspapers, old family bibles, old letters, previously published histories, national archives, personal interviews and Mics. handed to the compiler to be listed herein as given by their authors.
A special attempt is being made to give full credit to all who have contributed so generously by giving their articles, as they have written or told them, with their names attached. This may cause some conflicts in statements, repetitions and inaccuracies in regard to actual historical facts but the compiler desires this book to be a memorial, not only to our pioneer ancestry, but to link the present with the past and give due honor to all who have contributed and without whose help this book would not have been published.
The compiler very sincerely asks the pardon of her readers for any and every act of omission or commission which may offend or surprise each or any of them. The only apology which is offered is the difficulty of the task and the inability of the compiler to do any better. Inaccuracies are bound to occur.
