| Place name: | Duck Creek |
| Description: | A large stream in the northern part of the present Duck Creek Township, which was named as early as 1873 by the pioneers for the ducks which inhabited the creek. It was drained soon after 1900. (Campbell, Munger, County Court Record) |

I want to share photos I have collected over the years from my Barnett, Vaughan, Vaughn, Wooldridge, Calvin, and Patterson ancestors. Some of the photos I have actually have labels. Some do not. If you happen to know who they are, please let me know by commenting. If you have photos you'd for me to share on this blog - send me an email and I'll see what I can do. I will not share any information about anyone still living. Thanks so much for stopping by!
