Good morning to all from "SUNNY" California!

Is there some resource for looking up (preferably on-line) births and deaths in Fnkl Co. from about 1842 thru 1850?
Caroline Eliza (FULLER) CUNNINGHAM supposedly died 25 Jun 1845 *OR* 25 Jun 1847. She was the wife of my 2nd Ggfa John SWITZER CUNNINGHAM. Mary Ann CUNNINGHAM, their daughter, was born 18 Jun 1847 (according to family Bible), but maybe 1845, depending on her mother's death. The IGI says Franklin Co, but I can't confirm that.
Alphonso T. F. CUNNINGHAM, a son, was born 23 Mar 1844 "in Ohio", died in infancy. I would be VERY grateful for ANY information on this family - they have been incredibly elusive!

I am seeking any information I can on James Alonzo GREGORY. He first came to Ohio in the late 1800's. He was a renagade Indian who came from Oklahoma with 11 other Indians. I was told by his son that he was arrested and put in the Ohio State Prision. I don't know what he was arrested for. I was told by his son that prision records were destroyed by a fire. I would appreciate any information or research advice that any one can give me. Thanks, Ana Downey
