1566	The last name for James was spelled Morning in the 1850 Census and Moren in the 1870 Census	Moran, James A. (I6621)
1567	The last name is consistently misspelled. You will find it as Kelsay and Kelsey. The obituary below was found on find a grave. How true or untrue is unknown at this time.

1568	The last name is spelled Kuffman in the 1850 Census.	Kauffman, Frederick (I22134)
1569	The last name of this family is misspelled throughout the years. I prefer to go with what the marriage record of John and Sarah show. It is also spelled that way on the tombstone that they share together. There is a George W Talbot born in 1846 in Indiana living in the household in 1860. How he is related, if at all is unknown at this time. It could just be a hired hand or he could have come on the wagon train and had no where to go so the family out of the goodness of their hearts let him stay with them. In order to find this family in 1880 you will have to put the last name as Vanberthusan. They are living in Davis county, Iowa in 1880.	VanBenthuysen, John (I22647)
1570	The last name originated as Hambleton. I don't know if there was an actual name change or these people just gave up on correcting people with their last name.	Hambleton-Hamilton, Earl Charles (I23719)

Millspaugh, 72, a pioneer farmer of the county, died suddenly at his home three miles west of Matthews, at nine o'clock Sunday morning. Mr. Millspaugh had been in failing health for several years. Sunday morning he had gotten up and attended to his usual work, and was sitting in a chair reading, when he died. His wife noticed that his head had drooped and went to investigate the trouble, but found that he had passed away. He had been a resident of the farm he died on since his marriage. The deceased leaves a widow and two sons, Orley of Anderson and Arthur of Point Isabel. The funeral services were held at the home at one o'clock Wednesday afternoon with the Rev. L. W. Johnson and J. W. Richards officiating. Interment will be in the I.O.O.F Cemetery east of Matthews.	Millspaugh, Leander Newton (I19239)

1573	The marriage record for Orison and Margaret has Orison being born in 1831. It is also listing Orison as Orrison In the 1860 Census Orison is listed as Arrison and he is also listed as being born in 1833. The 1900 Census has Orison being born in May 1838. In the 1910 Census he is listed as being born in 1833	Crawford, Orison T. Grant (I13857)
1574	The marriage record has Tabitha's name spelled Tabiatha	Simpson, Tabitha (I15924)
1575	The marriage record of Daniel and Harriett is recorded as happening in Clinton County, Ohio. Harriett was born in Ohio so this is possible. Their first child George was born in Indiana. I find it odd that they are residing in Clinton County, Indiana in 1850 but got married in Clinton County, Ohio. Obituary: Daniel L Rash died at 8 o'clock last night at the home of his daughter, Mrs William A Roberts, at the county farm. The infirmities of age was the cause of his demise. Deceased was born in Delaware on November 30, 1814, and came to Lafayette in 1836. For a number of years he was associated with the late William Shively in the tailoring business. After retiring from that business Mr Rash moved to Jefferson, Clinton county, where he lived for some time. He has made his home with Mr and Mrs Roberts for the past twenty years. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, affiliating with the lodge at Linden. The following children survive: Mrs Emily Pixley, Warren E Rash and H. S Rash, of Linden: Perry Rash, a member of the National Soldiers' Home at Danville, Illinois; Ryan Rash, of Fithian, Illinois; M S Rash, of Los Angeles, California and Mrs W A Roberts and Miss Olive Rash, of this county.

1578	The Moses Saunders family is listed as Sanders in the 1850 Census. However, due to further research this family's last names is actually Saunders.	Saunders, Moses (I7852)
1579	The obituary and tombstone has Leah passing on 11/27/1884. However, i think that the year is wrong due to the fact that Martin remarries to Cynthia Cochran on May 15, 1874. I think it would be more accurate that she died before this date as I don't believe he would marry a 3rd wife while the 2nd wife was still living. Also to note is he is listed in the 1880 Census with his third wife and Leah cannot be found in the 1880 Census. Upon further research, Leah's will is found. There is no mention of her husband in the will, just her daughter Mary. It is possible that her and Martin Divorced. A plat map locates her in Shelbyville in 1880 and the Will is dated for 1884. So the obituary and tombstone is most likely accurate. The Shelby Democrat Thursday, December 4, 1884 Page 3, column 5 IN MEMORIAM Mrs. Leah Stephens died November 27th , 1884, at her residence near St. John's Switch, aged sixty-seven years, six months and sixteen days. The remains were interred in the family graveyard November 29th,1884. The deceased was born in Madison county, Kentucky, May 11, 1817. Her maiden name was Leah Parrish Her father, Edmund Parrish, moved from Kentucky to this county in 1823, and settled on Blue River, southwest of Shelbyville. He afterwards entered a tract of land near St. John's Switch, where he lived until his death. She, being the oldest of the family, was required to labor in and outdoors, which was the custom of the day. From youth she was a spiring, possessing the powers of acquisition by economy and perseverance in early life, she became the owner of real estate. She was twice married during life. For several years past the organs of the viscera had been afflicted and though able physicians were procured, temporary relief only could be given . Finally her disease became serious . No definite conclusion was given as to the character of her disease which was probably cancer of the stomach. To the day of her death she was patient in suffering, always extending her hand in friendship to her many friends. On various occasions she referred to the fact that the end was near at hand, but at the same time expressing her willingness to accept what the Lord in his infinite wisdom would send upon her. To her brother, to her daughter and to the one who held her dearer than all others, we would say in the language of Lowell : "Tis hard at first to see it alright, In vain Faith blows her trump to summon back Her scattered troop; yet through the clouded glass O four own bitter tears we learn to look, Undazzled on the kindness of God's face, Faith is too dark, and heaven alone shines through.

The census records are all over the place with John's date of birth. He is listed as being born in 1808, 1809, 1810 & 1811. All state the state of North Carolina.
There are indications that John was in the Confederate Army but am unable to see the document as it is on Fold 3 and I do not have a membership to Fold 3.
I do not know for a fact that John was born in Burke County, North Carolina but, it is on Find A Grave so I am recording it because it is plausible.

The last name of this family is misspelled throughout the years. I prefer to go with what the marriage record of John and Sarah show. It is also spelled that way on the tombstone that they share together.
There is a George W Talbot born in 1846 in Indiana living in the household in 1860. How he is related, if at all is unknown at this time. It could just be a hired hand or he could have come on the wagon train and had no where to go so the family out of the goodness of their hearts let him stay with them.
In order to find this family in 1880 you will have to put the last name as Vanberthusan. They are living in Davis county, Iowa in 1880.

Leander N. Millspaugh, Pioneer Farmer Dies At Home Near Matthews
Leander N. Millspaugh, 72, a pioneer farmer of the county, died suddenly at his home three miles west of Matthews, at nine o'clock Sunday morning. Mr. Millspaugh had been in failing health for several years. Sunday morning he had gotten up and attended to his usual work, and was sitting in a chair reading, when he died. His wife noticed that his head had drooped and went to investigate the trouble, but found that he had passed away. He had been a resident of the farm he died on since his marriage. The deceased leaves a widow and two sons, Orley of Anderson and Arthur of Point Isabel. The funeral services were held at the home at one o'clock Wednesday afternoon with the Rev. L. W. Johnson and J. W. Richards officiating. Interment will be in the I.O.O.F Cemetery east of Matthews.

The marriage record of Daniel and Harriett is recorded as happening in Clinton County, Ohio. Harriett was born in Ohio so this is possible. Their first child George was born in Indiana. I find it odd that they are residing in Clinton County, Indiana in 1850 but got married in Clinton County, Ohio.

Obituary:
Daniel L Rash died at 8 o'clock last night at the home of his daughter, Mrs William A Roberts, at the county farm. The infirmities of age was the cause of his demise. Deceased was born in Delaware on November 30, 1814, and came to Lafayette in 1836. For a number of years he was associated with the late William Shively in the tailoring business. After retiring from that business Mr Rash moved to Jefferson, Clinton county, where he lived for some time. He has made his home with Mr and Mrs Roberts for the past twenty years. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, affiliating with the lodge at Linden. The following children survive: Mrs Emily Pixley, Warren E Rash and H. S Rash, of Linden: Perry Rash, a member of the National Soldiers' Home at Danville, Illinois; Ryan Rash, of Fithian, Illinois; M S Rash, of Los Angeles, California and Mrs W A Roberts and Miss Olive Rash, of this county.

The obituary and tombstone has Leah passing on 11/27/1884. However, i think that the year is wrong due to the fact that Martin remarries to Cynthia Cochran on May 15, 1874. I think it would be more accurate that she died before this date as I don't believe he would marry a 3rd wife while the 2nd wife was still living. Also to note is he is listed in the 1880 Census with his third wife and Leah cannot be found in the 1880 Census. Upon further research, Leah's will is found. There is no mention of her husband in the will, just her daughter Mary. It is possible that her and Martin Divorced. A plat map locates her in Shelbyville in 1880 and the Will is dated for 1884. So the obituary and tombstone is most likely accurate.

IN MEMORIAM

Mrs. Leah Stephens died November 27th , 1884, at her residence near St. John's Switch, aged sixty-seven years, six months and sixteen days. The remains were interred in the family graveyard November 29th,1884. The deceased was born in Madison county, Kentucky, May 11, 1817. Her maiden name was Leah Parrish Her father, Edmund Parrish, moved from Kentucky to this county in 1823, and settled on Blue River, southwest of Shelbyville. He afterwards entered a tract of land near St. John's Switch, where he lived until his death. She, being the oldest of the family, was required to labor in and outdoors, which was the custom of the day. From youth she was a spiring, possessing the powers of acquisition by economy and perseverance in early life, she became the owner of real estate. She was twice married during life. For several years past the organs of the viscera had been afflicted and though able physicians were procured, temporary relief only could be given . Finally her disease became serious . No definite conclusion was given as to the character of her disease which was probably cancer of the stomach. To the day of her death she was patient in suffering, always extending her hand in friendship to her many friends. On various occasions she referred to the fact that the end was near at hand, but at the same time expressing her willingness to accept what the Lord in his infinite wisdom would send upon her. To her brother, to her daughter and to the one who held her dearer than all others, we would say in the language of Lowell : "Tis hard at first to see it alright, In vain Faith blows her trump to summon back Her scattered troop; yet through the clouded glass O four own bitter tears we learn to look, Undazzled on the kindness of God's face, Faith is too dark, and heaven alone shines through.

There is 7 years between Frank and the last known child to be born. It is possible he belongs to the 2nd wife, however, he is listed as being born in 1856 and John and Mary didn't get married until about 1858 which makes it possible that Katherine died in childbirth.
