Burdick - disputed Law-suit -
Mary and Martha (Marsha) are on the Hudson list, but Frances is not.
I wrote down the name "Martha", but the photo of the stone shows
Marsha so I'll have to re-check the court records next time we're at
the courthouse.
The 1870 census shows Marshall, age 6/12, male. That
puts Marshall born Nov or Dec 1869. If we use the birth date calculator
with the age and dod for
Martha/Marsha, the birth date is Nov 22, 1869.
I'd like to think Marsha and Marshall could be twins, but if that's the
case both should have shown on the 1870 census.
Sure a lot of name and gender mix ups for one tiny little
child!! Next issue: The 1870 census shows a dau. Margrett, age 3
She's
the only child listed who matches the dates for Frances. Maybe Frances
M. is Frances Margrett? (FYI: census spells last name Burdock)

Eleazer SPRAGUE b. 10/5/1799 PA d. 8/15/1865 presumably in LaPorte
Co., IN. The courthouse and the library have been unable to find death
records,
will and probate records, nor an obituary for him. He is
listed in the 1830 Census in Scipio, Seneca Co., OH, and in the 1840,
1850, and 1860
Censuses at Hudson, LaPorte Co., IN. His wife, Mary b.
1796 VT d. aft. 6/20/1859 appears in the 1850 Census, but not in 1860.
Their children are listed below.
Electa SPRAGUE b. 1820 is a daughter of Eleazer b. 1798 PA and Mary
SPRAGUE b. 1796 VT d. bet 1850-1860 La Porte Co., IN.

Josephine N. SPRAGUE b. 1829 OH.
Eleazer and his family are at Hudson
Twp., La Porte Co., IN in the 1840, 1850 and 1860 Census.
Aassumption is that John SPRAGUE b. 8/15/1777 VT d. 6/15/1852
LaPorte Co., IN is most likely the father of Eleazer.
Death, will,
probate and obituary records for him could not be found in LaPorte
either. His wife Phebe, must have died prior to 1850
since she does not
appear in the 1850 Census. I do not know where John was prior to 1850.

adopted son,

above.
Phebe SPRAGUE HALE then married Lemuel M. ADAMS who died
sometime after 4/1871.
They had no heirs. Phebe had a will where she
left everything to her friends.

Marsh, Lemuel -
Marsh, Joseph, “Obituary of Lemuel Marsh”, Advent Harbinger and Bible
Advocate Vol. 2:341 July 6, 1850.
Used with permission of Atlanta Bible
College Archives. Information furnished by Jan Stilson, Church of God
Historian.
Lemuel Marsh Father of the editor, died at Hudson,
LaPorte Co., Indiana 3 June 1850, in the 80th year of his age.
He spent
the early part of his active life in St. Alban’s, Franklin Co.,
Vermont, his native State, where he professed faith in Christ, and
united with the Methodist Episcopal Church.
In A.D. 1817 he moved to LeRoy, Genesee, New York,
where, on account of denying the trinity and believing in the Unity of
God,
and that Christ is the Son of God, he was turned out of the M.E.
Church. My mother, and one or two brothers were turned out of the same
church
about that time, for the same cause. In LeRoy he buried his
first wife, my pious mother, and soon after marrying his second wife,
moved to Randolph, Cattaraugus Co., N.Y.
where he buried three sons, my
dear brothers, who died happily in the Lord.
After spending several years of deprivation and
incessant toil in the wilds(?) of Randolph, he moved to Hudson,
Indiana,
to fill up the measure of his days in that new and fertile
country. There he paid the debt of nature; there he now (?), sleeps in
death –
(?) we trust, to awake to (?), and have a glorious part in the
first resurrection. Blessed be the Lord! (Last line illegible.)
Note: The Church of God Historian, Jan Stilson, also
furnished the information that Joseph said his step-mother was also
buried in Hudson,
and Joseph visited the graves in 1851, according to a
record of Joseph’s travels printed in the same paper.
Joseph also said
that he visited his brother, William, in Hudson, and his sister, Mrs.
F.G. White, in the same area.
It is likely that William’s first wife,
Roxanna Barmore, is buried in the same cemetery in Hudson, as well as
some of William’s children. -
