| William CARPENTER, Susan/Susannah TONER | Eileen Clark | I have not been able to find death documentation or burials on William and Susannah/Susan (TONER) CARPENTER of Posey Twp, Franklin County. William was born in Lycoming County, PA about 1782. In 1850, he and Susan were living in Posey Twp. He died before 28 June 1856 because I have a copy of his Franklin County probate record. Susan is listed on the Posey Twp 1870 census but not on the 1880. Old Brick Cemetery is a logical burial, and while someone has added a few CARPENTER records to Find-a-Grave Old Brick, active Find-a-Grave volunteers have reported that those burials cannot be confirmed. Children of William & Susan: James, Deborah Ann, Isreal, Edward, Sarah, William Oliver and Oliver. To avoid duplication and not needed research: I have some detail & documentation on the children, and the Rush County Find-a-Grave CARPENTER records & headstone photographs (Samuel and his descendants, allied families) are my own. I've also done onsite research Franklin County library & courthouse. I'm specifically looking for William and Susan. William's brother Samuel is my 3rd great-grandfather. Thank you! |

| Catherine CASE | Barbara Kuykendall | My brick wall is Catherine CASE. Born in Indiana, probably Franklin County, 7 January 1821. Died 10 March 1889 in Laurel. Married to Dr. Thomas GIFFORD of Laurel. Reifel says she is the daughter of Henry and Ann CASE of Metamora, but that is incorrect. Henry and Ann did have a daughter named Catherine, but in 1860 their daughter Catherine was 35, single and living at home, while my Catherine was married with children. A cousin of my dad's (long deceased) said she was a descendant of John and Priscilla ALDEN. I cannot prove that, since I don't even know who her parents were! She named her youngest son Samuel Alden, but we think Dr. GIFFORD's full name was Thomas Alden GIFFORD. The ALDEN connection may be through him, not through her. Can anyone help me find Catherine's parents? One possibility for her parents is Charles Rockefeller CASE and Catherine HEATH. In 1840 they had a daughter in the right age group, who could have been named for her mother. Can anyone help me find Catherine's parents? |

| Benjamin DOTY | Ken Pohl | Here's one I have been fighting for about 30 years. My wife's gr-gr-grandfather, Benjamin DOTY was born about 1798 in Minisink, Orange County, NY. He married Mary SCOFIELD in Big Flats, Tioga County, NY and they had several children there. They disappeared after the 1830 census. Mary appears as Mary DOTTY on the 1850 census in Metamora, Franklin County, IN with several children including Charles Wilson DOTY, my wife's gr-grandfather, who always claimed to have been born in Rochester, IN. Another mystery - where is Rochester, IN? With some help from others on this site we discovered that Rochester is now known as Cedar Grove, a small village just a few miles down Route 52 from Metamora. There is no sign of Benjamin DOTY on the 1840 or 1850 census of Franklin County. Did he head for the gold rush in California, was he killed during the canal construction, did he just take off from his family? There was canal construction in Big Flats before the family moved to Franklin County so there is a possibility he was a canal worker. A family rumor states that he fell in the canal on the way home from a lodge meeting. Help! |

Carol Tolley | My brickwall is Armstrong HAWKINS and his wife Mary DAVIS. Armstrong was born 25 Jan 1818 in IN. Mary DAVIS was born 22 Sep 1819 in OH. They married 17 Mar 1836 in Franklin Co. This family appears in the 1840 fed census for Franklin Co, and 1850 Ray Twp, Franklin Co IN census. Also in 1850 with them is Rachel HAWKINS, age 59, b in TN. Possibly Armstrong's mother. Family history states that his parents were a John and Rachel HAWKINS. Both Armstrong's and Mary's birth yr are in question. Could be as early as 1812 or as late as 1819. The family removed to Jackson Co, IA in about 1854 and both died in 1869. Also in the 1850, Metamora, Franklin Co fed census are a John and Mary HAWKINS, who named a son, Armstrong. I have not been able to find anything further on them. I have found three main HAWKINS lines in this eastern area of IN. HAWKINS/HACKLEMAN; HAWKINS/ LYTLE/LITTLE and John and Nancy HAWKINS, but have not been able to count any of them completely out. I have not been able to connect Mary DAVIS with any DAVIS line.

| James F. OGLESBY | Amy Tillman | My brickwall is my great-grandfather, James F. OGLESBY. He was born 26 Dec 1847 in Scotland. I don't have anything on him until he shows up in the 1870 Census in Highland, Franklin, Indiana at the age of 23. He is enumerated in the household of Julia HANDY, and his occupation is Railroad Foreman. He married his first wife, Mary Ann WHITE on 23 Sep 1870 in Franklin county. Mary Ann was the daughter of Edward George and Martha Ann [McGLINN] WHITE who resided in Franklin county. James and Mary Ann had two sons -- Edward Francis (b. 31 May 1871) and John (b. 19 Aug 1873). In 1880 they were residing in Brookville Twp. Mary Ann died 07 Jul 1883. James married a second time to Sarah L. ALFORD on 23 Jan 1884. Sarah was the daughter of William Henry and Eviah [WILEY] ALFORD. She was much younger (b. 07 Oct. 1867). James and Sarah would have four children: Sarah L. (b. 05 Mar 1885), James Francis (b. 20 Feb 1887), Fannie Jezabelle (b. 17 Mar 1890) and Earl Roger (b. 19 Mar 1893). Shortly after Earl's birth, Sarah ran off and left James with the children. He was very ill, and unable to care for the children, so on 15 May 1894 he placed the four youngest in the Franklin County Children's Home. He died six months later on 14 Nov 1894 in Franklin county. I would very much like to find out where James is buried (perhaps even a death certificate?), and any other information about his arrival in Franklin county prior to 1870 -- or any information about his parents or any siblings that might have been with him. |

I am seeking the name and burial location of his wife. And I would like to know what happened to Isaac and Mary WALLEN and if they had any children.

| Rufus R WILSON | Karen Creamer | Rufus WILSON was my 3rd great grandfather. He may have been born in Bourbon County, KY in about 1816, and he married Huldah LEWIS on 5 Nov 1841 in Franklin County. Rufus died in November of 1842, about a month before the birth of my great great grandmother Harriet Adeline WILSON. I have not been able to find Rufus in a census, a tax list, a cemetery listing or anywhere else, except that he is mentioned once in the probate records of Franklin County, when his daughter Harriet is named as one of the heirs to the William Wilson estate in the early 1850's. Huldah was remarried to the Rev. John MORGAN (his 2nd marriage, also) in 1847 and they had four children. During that time, Harriet lived for a while with Huldah's father, John LEWIS. I'll greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me on Rufus or his (apparent) father, William WILSON. |
