    • Cemetery: 15 Aug 1907, Richland Center Cemetery, Larwill, Whitley, Indiana, United States

    Notes:

    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.

    Frances married Samuel L. Griffith on 28 Dec 1878 in Whitley County, Indiana, United States. Samuel (son of John Griffith and Margaret Ayle) was born on 28 Dec 1857 in Indiana, United States; died on 6 Mar 1919 in Bourbon, Marshall, Indiana, United States; was buried on 10 Mar 1919 in Bourbon, Marshall, Indiana, United States.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 6 Jul 1870, Larwill, Whitley, Indiana, United States
    • Residence: 1880, Richland Township, Whitley, Indiana, United States

    Notes:

    Although the 1880 Census lists a child Minnie being born in 1865 and a daughter, nowhere else is there a Minnie listed with William's parents. I do believe this was in error by the census taker and actually should be William.

    Notes:

    The 1920 Census has Marcus's birth as 1870. Although Marcus's death certificate states his name is Marcus C, all other records including his gravestone state otherwise. It is Marcus L.

    Marcus married Myrtle "Mertie" Martin on 2 Mar 1892 in Whitley County, Indiana, United States. Myrtle (daughter of Living and Living) was born on 25 Sep 1871 in Indiana, United States; died on 3 Sep 1935 in Fort Wayne, Allen, Indiana, United States; was buried on 6 Sep 1935 in South Whitley, Whitley, Indiana, United States.

    Notes:

    The 1920 & 1930 Census has Cecil born in 1884. Cecil's son Robert George Burwell's death certificate states that her middle name is spelled Mae. However his birth certificate states May. I am more inclined to believe the birth certificate.
    Although Cecil's daugher Abbie's death certificate states that Cecil's last name is Smith, all other records including her marriage record show Griffith, including Cecil's death certificate.

    Cecil married George Smith Burwell on 26 Oct 1905 in Kosciusko County, Indiana, United States. George (son of Friend Burwell and Abigail M. Smith) was born on 9 Apr 1873 in Atwood, Kosciusko, Indiana, United States; died on 3 Aug 1963 in Plymouth, Marshall, Indiana, United States; was buried on 6 Aug 1963 in Bourbon, Marshall, Indiana, United States.
