  from researcher Carol Zell, 10/06:
  [...] one of my "White" researcher cousins was at the Indiana State Library and found a baptismal entry for May 10, 1849 from St. Simon Church (in Washington, IN). It stated that the Rev. John McDermott had baptized Harriet Edwards, whose parents are not Catholics, according to the rites of the Catholic Church. I believe this could be my Harriet Edwards. In the 1850 census she was living with Zachariah and Louisa Walker. They were both Catholics, so they may have influenced Harriet to become a Catholic.
