803	Foster is listed as Andrew F in the 1850 Census, he is also listed as being born in 1834; The 1860 Census also lists him as being born in 1834 The 1870 Census has Foster being born in 1838; The 1880 Census has him born in 1834 There is a Charles Sapp born in 1857, 13 years old living in the household of Foster and Cynthia in the 1870 Census.	Baird, Foster Andrew (I23185)
804	Frances is listed as being born in 1855 in the 1860 Census, she is also listed with the spelling of her name as Francis E. I about imagine that it was supposed to be like all others when under a year and be 5/12. In the 1870 Census she is listed as being born in 1861. Althought find a grave has Frances's middle name as Eleanor, I have not found documented proof of this and it is not on the grave stone either so I will leave her middle name as E until i find the proof.	Norris, Frances E. (I1189)
805	Frances was located with her parents on the 1880 Indiana census. Sh e was listed as Fanny, a daughter, age 3, born in Indiana. The famil y was living in Vigo County, Fayette Township. According to her fathe r's pension records; James was to name children still living and Franc es was not listed. The date of the questionaire was January 15,1898.	Harmon, Frances (I16420)
806	Francis is listed as being born in 1865 in the 1870, 1880 & 1910 Census	Root, Francis C. S. (I24256)
807	Frank is listed as being born in 1859 in the 1880 Census.	McClain, Frank M. (I10788)
808	Frank's initial last name was Guins. However, he was the adopted son of Martin and Leah (Parrish) Stephens. He evidently took the last name of Stephens due to the fact that his death certificate states Stephens. In the 1870 Census he is listed as Frank Guins and in the 1880 Census he is listed as Franklin Stephens.	Stephens, Franklin B. (I11456)
809	Fremont is listed as being born in 1859 in the 1860 Census. According to the death record on his birth date, the age of months listed in the 1860 Census is correct, however with the calculation the translator did, it is incorrect. In the 1880 Census he is listed as being born in 1861	Roush, Fremont Lewis (I14391)
810	Further research is required on this child. In 1850, this child is listed as Lawren and a male, in 1860 this child is Laura and a female, and in 1870 this child is listed as Louis and a male.	Rash, Lawren "Laura" "Louis" (I9145)
811	General Notes: It is an assumption that Margarett is Margaret's daughter and not Maranda's. Further research is required to make a better judgement on who her mother is. Usually when it is an about date, the birth year ends up being the year before they say, which would mean that it is possible that Margaret, the mother died during the birth of Margarett F. Also to note is that Squire, her father did not get married to Maranda until 1847, so it is highly unlikely that she is her mother. Age Variation: Margaret is listed as being born in 1847 in the 1850, 1860, 1870 Census; 1848 in the 1880 Census	Day, Margaret F. (I17641)
812	George is listed as being born in 1851 in the 1860 Census.	Arnold, George W. (I14638)
813	George is presumably the son of John and Elizabeth, according to the 1870 Census. Where is he in 1860? According to the 1870 Census, he was born in 1853 but, he is not listed within the household in 1860. Further research is needed to find out if he is in fact the son of John and Elizabeth or just a relative that they took in to raise.	Fish, George W. (I21800)
814	George was single when he immigrated to the United States. There is a Henry Froebe living with George Phillip and Mary in 1850. There is a Grave Registration form for George that is on Fold 3 that I am unable to access. It shows his birth, death, and burial date . I will source these once I am able to get this form.	Froebe, George Philip (I16033)
815	George's tombstone gives the age at death but without seeing the tombstone in person i cannot determine what the months and days are but can tell it says 5 years.	Stephens, George W. (I12494)
816	Grace is listed as being born in 1867 in the 1870 & 1880 Census	Miller, Grace C. "Gracie" (I12418)
817	Grover is first found on the list of siblings of Maude Harmon, found i n the Family Bible of Kathern Hammond Persinger (in possession of Davi d Persinger). The date of birth written was March 14, 1899. The190 0 Census does not list Grover with his family when he would have bee n 10 years of age. Also, in January 1898, his father, James, was to l ist his children still living on a questionaire in his pension records . Grover was not listed.	Harmon, Grover (I5336)
818	Grover is listed as being born November 1884 in the 1900 Census. He is listed as being born in 1885 in 1910. In the 1920 Census he is listed as being born in 1886	Swank, Grover (I20743)
819	Hampton's death certificate states that he was born in Fayette County, Indiana. Find a grave also lists the birth place as Fayette County, Indiana. Hampton married his wife in Wayne County. It is feasible that he was born in Fayette county but Wayne County is also a possibility as well. The census records have his birth all over the place. In 1850 he is listed as being born in 1816; in 1860 he is listed as being born in 1827; 1870 he is listed as being born in 1822; 1880 he is listed as being born in 1828 and in 1900 he is listed with a birth of August 1826. I have chosen the death date from the death certificate because this is what is on the 1900 census and on his tombstone as well.	Ludlow, Hampton (I12797)
820	Harriet is listed as Harnet M in the 1860 Census.	Wilson, Harriet Mallisa (I20389)
821	Harriet is listed in the 1860 Census with her parents. The census recorder put her age down wrong. She was born in 1825 so that would have put her at 35 years old. I have not documented her age for 1860 since is is way off.	Ludlow, Harriett (I23148)
822	Harriet was listed as being born in 1858 in the 1860 & 1870 Census	Davis, Harriet Emeline "Hattie" (I24449)
823	Harry was just a foster child of George's and Rachel's. Source:Descen dants of Robert Kelsay Author: Fred D Kelsay Page: 160	Cleveland, Harry (I8497)
824	Harvey's last name is spelled Moren in the 1870 Census	Moran, Harvey W. (I5853)
825	Hattie is listed as being born in 1862 in the 1870, 1880 & 1910 Census.	Root, Hattie L. "Hatty" (I24255)
826	Henry is listed as being born in 1863 in the 1880 Census	Froebe, Henry (I18429)
827	Henry is listed in the 1870 Census as being born in 1857. The 1880 Census has Henry being born in 1858 and he is also listed as being crippled	Kerns, Henry Clay (I7588)
828	Henry's birth date was calculated with how old they said he was on th e death certificate.	Ferrell, Leonard (I19858)
829	Her husbands name was Allen W Forsyth	VanBenthuysen, Priscilla (I22621)
830	Hiram N Ellis's Obituary Logansport Press Wednesday, 18 Aug 1948 Delphi, Aug. 17? Hiram N. Ellis, 89, life-long resident of Jefferson township. Carroll county, died this morning at 2 a.m. at St. Elizabeth hospital. Lafayette, where he had been a patient for 28 days. Born March 10, 1859 in Jefferson township, he was the son of Mortick and Sarah Ann (Brockus) Ellis. He was a member Hickory Grove Christian church. Survivors include three sons Ralph and Claude, Delphi rural route and Albert, of Yeoman; a daughter. Mrs. Anna Rotruck, of Anderson. Friends may call at the residence. Funeral rite will be conducted Thursday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. at the Hickory Grove church with burial in the church cemetery.	Ellis, Hiram N. (I23204)
831	Homer is listed as being born in 1906 in the 1920 Census	Eberhart, Homer D. (I23593)
832	Huntington Herald Press DINIUS, HARRY A. MONDAY 22 MAY 1961 Harry A. Dinius, 85, veteran Roanoke lumberman, died at 4:15 a.m. today in Lutheran Hospital Ft. Wayne, after an illness of two weeks. Mr. Dinius was born November 9, 1876 to Henry & Ruth Dinius. His first marriage was to Sylvia Broxon, December 24, 1896. She died in 1958. The second marriage was June 18, 1960 to Maude U. Jackson. Surviving are the widow; two children, Mrs. Noel Richards of Roanoke, & Stephen Dinius of Ft. Wayne route six; two step children, Mrs. Esther Bracey of Crauthersville, Mo., and Paul M. Broxon of Roanoke, route two; four grandchildren; 13 ste-grandchildren and four step-great grandchildren. He was a 50 year member of Masonic Lodge No. 195 F&AM and the Scottish Rite of Fort Wayne. He had been in the lumber business at Roanoke since 1909....Burial will be in Greenlawn Cemetery at Fort Wayne.	Dinius, Harry A. (I21480)
833	I am not entirely convinced that Margaret belongs to Thomas and Elizabeth. She is not listed within the household in 1850.	Clayton, Margaret E. (I20663)
834	I am unable to locate Aaron in the 1900 Census, however, he does not pass away until 1907. According to the Find A Grave Website, Aaron's tombstone is no where to be found.	Adams, Aaron (I3756)
835	I am unsure that Peter is buried in Elkhart instead of Middlebury. I have no way of knowing which one he is in since he is not listed in either one.	Payne, Peter (I23613)
836	I had entered Joseph Sr and Nansie (Stodgon) Scott as Robert's parents. However, that would have made Joseph Sr being of the age of 73 years old at Joseph's birth. That seems to be to way off for a couple to have children at that age. Although possible, it is highly unlikely. Most women do not have children after the age of 45, although some do in their 50's. However, until I can get proof that Joseph and Nansie are his parents, I am removing them as the parents. Something else to consider as well is the naming pattern back then. Scottish naming patterns usually went as follows: The pattern generally went as follows: The first son was named after the father's father. The second son after the mother's father. The third son after the father. The first daughter after the mother's mother. The second daughter after the father's mother. The third daughter after the mother. Keep in mind that sometimes they named them with a middle name. However He never named a child Joseph until the 4th child. If you go by the naming pattern then Joseph's father would be the name of Thomas in some way. And this always makes one wonder if Isaac is Mary's father at all as well as the 2nd son was named after the Mothers father which would make her father's name Silas. And if you go by the naming pattern, Nancy would be Mary's mother. and Jane would be Joseph's mother. But the 3rd daughter is named Celia which is no where close to her mother's name.	Scott, Robert (I12377)
837	I have a death certificate for a John Thomas Bryant, but I am not sur e it is the right one so I have not included the information on him.	Bryant, John T (I6702)
838	I have been unable to find the 1860 Census for this family. In 1850 they are living in Ohio and in 1870 they are in Indiana. The only conclusion I can come up with is they were in the process of moving from Ohio to Indiana when the 1860 Census was taken.	Smith, Calvin J. (I23262)
839	I have documented 9 children for Sarah and John. According to the 1900 Census she is the mother of 10 children with 7 living. Hopefully, I will be able to figure out who the 10th child is and be able to document it.	Endsley, Sarah (I21680)
840	I have not put John's supposed middle name yet, due to the fact that I have yet to find any documentation to prove the middle name yet. John's death certificate states the incorrect mother. The mother that is mentioned is his grandmother. John Drennen Kirkwood, mentioned in the family last named, and who died in 1905, near Matthews, in Grant County. Reared in Fayette County, he became a skilled workman as a carpenter and builder, a trade he followed for a number of years. In 1859, he settled in Grant County, where he bought some land near Matthews. Then by his active management and ability he secured two hundred and forty acres for himself in Jefferson Township. Thus practically all his attention after he came to Grant County was given to agriculture, and in his time he was known as one of the most successful men in Jefferson Township. In politics, like the majority of the Kirkwood's, he was a Democrat. Though he and his wife held to no church, he was in every sense a Christian. John D. Kirkwood was married in Fayette County to Mrs. Ruth (Crawford) Burgess. She was born in Fayette County in 1824, and died in Jefferson Township of Grant County, December 16, 1902. By her first marriage to Israel Burgess there were two daughters. To the marriage of John Drennen Kirkwood and Mrs. Burgess were born two sons: Frank Howard and Brooks.	Kirkwood, John D. (I11442)
841	Ida is listed as being born in 1855 in the 1880 Census.	McClain, Ida J. (I10618)
842	If the birth of Minnie and Thomas, children of Jacob and Margaret, is anything to base their move to Illinois on, they moved to Illinois between the years of 1868-1870. They show in the 1870 Census that Thomas was born in 1868 in Indiana and by July 30, 1870 they are in Illinois. That move must of been quite hard on Margaret as she was caring for two small children. The 1870, 1880, & 1910 Census has Jacob being born in 1841.	Gerhart, Jacob (I23487)
843	If you calculate her death and age at death her birth date is August 9, 1865	Carson, Anna E. "Annie" (I24017)
844	If you go by Phoebe's age in 1860 at being 15 that would put her at being born in 1845	Roush, Phoebe (I9352)
845	In 1800, Congress separated Ohio from the Northwest Territory, designating the rest of the land as the Indiana Territory. In theory this potentially means that records for someone being born in Ohio could be in Indiana. The 1850 - 1880 Census has Aaron being born in 1809.	Smith, Aaron (I17942)
846	In 1850, this child was listed as a male and in 1860 this child is listed as a female.	Bryant, Francis "Frances" (I21926)
847	In 1860 they have this child as female. However, the 1850 has him as a male.	Anderson, Tunis Hinman (I23273)
848	In 1860 this child is listed as Sarah E and a female, in 1870 this child is listed as Elmer and a male. Further research is needed to figure out which it is. According to what i have found she is obviously a female. In the 1920 & 1930 census she is listed as being born in 1856. Sarah E "Ella" states in the 1900 Census that she is the mother of 8 children with all 8 living. Most likely between 1880 - 1884, 1885-1889, and 1892 - 1896 is where these children are . There are three missing. i imagine there is one between Grace and Floyd, Floyd and Lodema, and possibly between Lodema and Ruby.	Wallace, Sarah Ellen "Ella" (I14622)
849	In 1860, Catharine is listed in the household with Henry and Barbara with the same last name. However, in 1870 she is listed with the last name of Muny. I assume she was a child of one of the children or someone they knew and they took her to raise. I have removed her from Henry and Barbara however, I am keeping her in the file just in case.	Muny, Catharinne (I840)
850	In 1860, Irving is listed as a female and recorded with the name of Ina. He is also listed as being born in 1859 in the 1860 & 1870 Census. In 1880 he is listed as being born in 1858. In the 1900 Census he is listed as being born in August 1859. It depends on what record you look at weather Irving's name is spelled Irving or Irvin. On the marriage records his name is spelled Irving when he marries Mary Ross and its Irvin when he marries Katie Widner. The 1900 Census has his name spelled Irvin.	Swank, Irving O. (I20714)

George is listed as being born in 1851 in the 1860 Census.

According to the 1870 Census, he was born in 1853 but, he is not listed within the household in 1860. Further research is needed to find out if he is in fact the son of John and Elizabeth or just a relative that they took in to raise.

Also, in January 1898, his father, James, was to l ist his children still living on a questionaire in his pension records . Grover was not listed.

Harmon, Grover (I5336)

818

Hampton's death certificate states that he was born in Fayette County, Indiana. Find a grave also lists the birth place as Fayette County, Indiana. Hampton married his wife in Wayne County. It is feasible that he was born in Fayette county but Wayne County is also a possibility as well. The census records have his birth all over the place. In 1850 he is listed as being born in 1816; in 1860 he is listed as being born in 1827; 1870 he is listed as being born in 1822; 1880 he is listed as being born in 1828 and in 1900 he is listed with a birth of August 1826.

I had entered Joseph Sr and Nansie (Stodgon) Scott as Robert's parents. However, that would have made Joseph Sr being of the age of 73 years old at Joseph's birth. That seems to be to way off for a couple to have children at that age. Although possible, it is highly unlikely. Most women do not have children after the age of 45, although some do in their 50's. However, until I can get proof that Joseph and Nansie are his parents, I am removing them as the parents.
Something else to consider as well is the naming pattern back then. Scottish naming patterns usually went as follows:
The pattern generally went as follows:
The first son was named after the father's father.
The second son after the mother's father.
The third son after the father.
The first daughter after the mother's mother.
The second daughter after the father's mother.
The third daughter after the mother.

Keep in mind that sometimes they named them with a middle name. However He never named a child Joseph until the 4th child. If you go by the naming pattern then Joseph's father would be the name of Thomas in some way. And this always makes one wonder if Isaac is Mary's father at all as well as the 2nd son was named after the Mothers father which would make her father's name Silas. And if you go by the naming pattern, Nancy would be Mary's mother. and Jane would be Joseph's mother. But the 3rd daughter is named Celia which is no where close to her mother's name.

I have a death certificate for a John Thomas Bryant, but I am not sur e it is the right one so I have not included the information on him.

I have been unable to find the 1860 Census for this family. In 1850 they are living in Ohio and in 1870 they are in Indiana. The only conclusion I can come up with is they were in the process of moving from Ohio to Indiana when the 1860 Census was taken.

I have documented 9 children for Sarah and John. According to the 1900 Census she is the mother of 10 children with 7 living. Hopefully, I will be able to figure out who the 10th child is and be able to document it.

I have not put John's supposed middle name yet, due to the fact that I have yet to find any documentation to prove the middle name yet. John's death certificate states the incorrect mother. The mother that is mentioned is his grandmother.
John Drennen Kirkwood, mentioned in the family last named, and who died in 1905, near Matthews, in Grant County. Reared in Fayette County, he became a skilled workman as a carpenter and builder, a trade he followed for a number of years. In 1859, he settled in Grant County, where he bought some land near Matthews. Then by his active management and ability he secured two hundred and forty acres for himself in Jefferson Township. Thus practically all his attention after he came to Grant County was given to agriculture, and in his time he was known as one of the most successful men in Jefferson Township. In politics, like the majority of the Kirkwood's, he was a Democrat. Though he and his wife held to no church, he was in every sense a Christian. John D. Kirkwood was married in Fayette County to Mrs. Ruth (Crawford) Burgess. She was born in Fayette County in 1824, and died in Jefferson Township of Grant County, December 16, 1902. By her first marriage to Israel Burgess there were two daughters. To the marriage of John Drennen Kirkwood and Mrs. Burgess were born two sons: Frank Howard and Brooks.

Ida is listed as being born in 1855 in the 1880 Census.

If the birth of Minnie and Thomas, children of Jacob and Margaret, is anything to base their move to Illinois on, they moved to Illinois between the years of 1868-1870. They show in the 1870 Census that Thomas was born in 1868 in Indiana and by July 30, 1870 they are in Illinois. That move must of been quite hard on Margaret as she was caring for two small children.

The 1870, 1880, & 1910 Census has Jacob being born in 1841.

Gerhart, Jacob (I23487)

If you calculate her death and age at death her birth date is August 9, 1865

Carson, Anna E. "Annie" (I24017)

If you go by Phoebe's age in 1860 at being 15 that would put her at being born in 1845

Roush, Phoebe (I9352)

In 1800, Congress separated Ohio from the Northwest Territory, designating the rest of the land as the Indiana Territory. In theory this potentially means that records for someone being born in Ohio could be in Indiana.

The 1850 - 1880 Census has Aaron being born in 1809.

Smith, Aaron (I17942)

846

In 1850, this child was listed as a male and in 1860 this child is listed as a female.

Bryant, Francis "Frances" (I21926)

847

In 1860 they have this child as female. However, the 1850 has him as a male.

Anderson, Tunis Hinman (I23273)

848

In 1860 this child is listed as Sarah E and a female, in 1870 this child is listed as Elmer and a male. Further research is needed to figure out which it is. According to what i have found she is obviously a female. In the 1920 & 1930 census she is listed as being born in 1856.

Sarah E "Ella" states in the 1900 Census that she is the mother of 8 children with all 8 living. Most likely between 1880 - 1884, 1885-1889, and 1892 - 1896 is where these children are . There are three missing. i imagine there is one between Grace and Floyd, Floyd and Lodema, and possibly between Lodema and Ruby.

Wallace, Sarah Ellen "Ella" (I14622)

In 1860, Catharine is listed in the household with Henry and Barbara with the same last name. However, in 1870 she is listed with the last name of Muny. I assume she was a child of one of the children or someone they knew and they took her to raise. I have removed her from Henry and Barbara however, I am keeping her in the file just in case.

Muny, Catharinne (I840)

In 1860, Irving is listed as a female and recorded with the name of Ina. He is also listed as being born in 1859 in the 1860 & 1870 Census. In 1880 he is listed as being born in 1858. In the 1900 Census he is listed as being born in August 1859. It depends on what record you look at weather Irving's name is spelled Irving or Irvin. On the marriage records his name is spelled Irving when he marries Mary Ross and its Irvin when he marries Katie Widner. The 1900 Census has his name spelled Irvin.
