This collection centers around the Vernon family of Madison County, Indiana, and documents the following facts:
Isaac Bailey married Hannah Scarlet in Chester County, Pennsylvania, in 1765. Their daughter, Mary Bailey, married Abraham (Abram) Vernon (d. 1859) in Chester County in 1801. Abram Vernon bought land in Madison County, Indiana, in 1830. Edward B. Vernon, son of Abram and Mary Vernon, married Hannah Rogers in 1840. One of their children was Abner R. Vernon. The family continued to live in Madison County, and most belonged to the Society of Friends.
