Once a Hoosier...Always a Hoosier 
Do you know where there farm in Brownsburg was located? We live in a old farm house on th e edge of Avon and Brownsburg and according to my research it was owned by a Sarah Montague/Shockley. Not sure when the house was built but the barn was built in 1899. Just interested in figuring out our property`s past.
Thanks
