Sending you some old as well as some new information on the Doss and Mikels of Montgomery County, Indiana.
Greenberry Doss, son of Stephen and Permilia Cundiff Doss; and his brother Elisha Doss. Moved to Indiana from Hardin County, Kentucky.
Seems Greenberry Doss moved to Indiana first; foloowed by brother Elisha Doss.
Included are early land records, marriage records, and census for Elisha Doss of 1850. (Of course Greenberry Doss was in Linn County, Iowa by 1849.)
Greenberry Doss marries Eliza Mikels Nov. 14, 1835. He receives land, 40 more acres, Nov. 20, 1835. I assume it is Eliza Mikels dowry. And since a John Mikels also owns land in section 14 of Franklin Township, could be Eliza Mikels brother or father. Although, William Mikels could be father too?
Another Mikels researcher could not define Eliza Mikels parents. There are a number of Elizas in the records of Montgomery County, Indiana. Do not think it is especially a short moniker name for Elizabeth at all.
Elisha Doss married Susanna Peterson March 6, 1839. Notice in the 1850 census for Sugar Creek Township, Montgomery County, Indiana....that Petersons are surrounding the Elisha Doss family. I assume Susannah Peterson's father is the Solomon Peterson.
I included the bio of Joe Ward Mikels because it was so interesting as a Mexican War veteran; and states his birth place was near Darlington, Indiana.
Lucetta Doss (1838-1887) and here brother Thomas Doss, children of Greenberry and Eliza Mikels Doss by Iowa records; also both born near Darlington, Indiana.
Several other men in Montgomery County, Indiana has the first name of Greenberry, and even just Berry.
Have never found burial or death of Eliza Mikels Doss. But Greenberry Doss re-marries in Linn County, Iowa in 1849; to an Elizabeth Cook. Maybe she died on the way to Iowa?
Lucetta Doss marries James Robbins...dau. Mary Ellen Robbins marries Henry Miller; Ruby Miller marries Art Russell; parents of Daren Russell, my father.
Anyone have further information on the Mikels?

After his return he married Miss Christina Smith in 1851. Before the civil war started several children had been born to them and for that reason he did not again go to the front. During his long residence in this township he farmed and worked at the carpenter trade. Sevearl years ago he left here for a short time to go to Missouri but returned and made his home in this city until going to live with his son about two years ago. His wife died in 1892.
