ABENDSCHON
(OBENCHAIN, OBENSHINE, OBENSHANE)
I am looking for information
about John Abendschon (Obenchain, Obenshine, Obenshane)
(b. 26 MAY 1789) who was granted 40 acres and 120 acres in
Tippecanoe County in 1810 for his service as a Lt. in
Capt. Rowland's Company, 5th Regiment, Virginia Militia in
the War of 1812.
John married Elizabeth Stair
06 MAR 1810 and they had 13 children: Demaris, Mary,
Lucinda, Margaret, Sarah, Savannah, Martha, Henry S.
Matthew W., Allen S., John, Simon L. and Edward S.
My great-grandfather was
James William Obenchain who may have been a grandson of
John.
James was born 20 DEC
1832 in Indiana and died in 1900. On 29 JAN 1856
he married Mary A. Shipp (b. 17 NOV 1835, d.
1932). In 1863 he resided in Larimer
County, Colorado and operated a sawmill to provide
lumber to the US Army for the building of Fort
Collins. My grandmother, Alice Jane
Obenchain, was born in Kansas on 23 MAY 1863.
Don't know if James resided there or if she may have
been born in a wagon train. Alice's sister,
Nettie, was born in Larimer County, Colorado 25 OCT
1873. From Colorado James moved to
Oregon then moved to Idaho. I was born in Boise.

BATES
John
Homar Bates was b in Lafayette, Indiana on October 25,
1874. He was taken by James Guntrip or Deward Smith to
Oklahoma and Kansas at a young age, he remembers he had
brothers and sisters, but didn't remember their names.
We think there must have been some sort of a tragic
event, that caused the children to be separated. There
is a John Bates that appears on the 1880 Census with
father Hiram Bates and mother Julia both born in
Vermont. Hiram was born 1844. They had Lucy b 1866,
Cornelia b 1868, William b 1870, Katie b 1873, John b
1874-74, Josie b 1877, and Hiram b 1879. All
children were b in Indiana except Cornelia who was b in
Iowa. This James Guntrip and Deward Smith knew what
happened to the family but wouldn't tell it. Does anyone
know anything about this family or if anyone knows of a
John Homar Bates that was b in that area at that time
would love to hear from you. The family would have had
to be separated around 1880, as he thought he was three
years old at the time, but that could be off a year or
two.

BIRT
(BURT) - PATTISON
I am looking for the parents
of Rebecca Birt who married Lewis Pattison in Tippecanoe
Co. in Feb/Mar 1843. I was in Lafayette in 2000
and visited the Historical/Geneology Society at the
Library and found a marriage license for Lewis Pattison
and Rebecca Birt. It states that she was given
permission by her father, but he is not named. I
believe his name is Thomas and that he is a widower at
that time. His wife may be named Margaret.
Rebecca was born in Ohio as her parents may have been as
I found in the 1850, 1860 censuses. She is buried
in the Burton Cemetary but I don't know where Lewis is
buried. I surely would appreciated anything
you can find. Thank you Lynne
Eisenstaedt
I would be very grateful for
any help in finding the parents of Rebecca Birt
Pattison. She married Lewis Pattison in 1843 in
Tippecanoe Co. Her father may be Thomas Birt found in
Tippecanoe Co. in 1850 , Shelby Twp. He was in the
census as having no wife but several children still
living with him. I believe a Thomas Birt(Burt) Jr,
who married Louisa Parrish in 1850 in Tippecanoe twp.
may be her brother. The Birts, Thomas Sr and Jr,
and Rebecca all were born inOhio. Any information
would be grately appreciated. Thank
you, Lynne

BOYD
Harry S. Boyd & wife
Agnes Colson Boyd. Farmed in the Lafayette area in
the early 1900's. Harry was born about 1878 in
Indiana and was the son of James Monroe Boyd, a
physician in the Annapolis area. Harry and
Agnes were married in 1899 and lived in the Annapolis
area before moving to Lafayette to farm.
Agnes died 12/29/1920 in Lafayette, but was buried with
her family in West Union, IN. Have been unable to
locate Harry thru later Census, although we are fairly
certain he died between 1945-1955 in Indiana.
Harry & Alice had 3 children, Maurice, Bonnie &
Frank. Also, Harry later remarried, but very
little is known about that. Joanne Boyd

I am stuck looking for the
parents of Barbara Ellen (Smithers) Buck. She was
(allegedly) born in Carroll Co, IN, married Samuel Buck
of Perry Twp, later of Lafayette, on July 28,

remarried to Elizabeth (Palmer) Belcoma. A second

War in Tippecanoe County, IN, 1861, was in the 1860
Census, Wea Township, Tippecanoe County, IN. Two
residences from John and Rachel in the census were
Abraham and Mary Campbell, with son Charles. My
assumption is that they were brothers, two years
different in age, living close together. I am
trying to find their parents. If you have a
Campbell family that they can be connected with, please
let me know. I'm about to give up. Gene

CHAMBERLAIN

KELLY
I am looking for any
information on Ephraim Chamberlain. He is the
father of my great great grandfather, the father of
Louisa Chamberlain, who married Charles Kelley in
Shippingport (Louisville), Jefferson County, KY in
1833. In 1830, Ephraim Chamberlain was in Harrison
County, IN. I don’t know if he is related to
Robert Chamberlain of Harrison County, or to Pierce
Chamberlain, Robert’s son, who fought at the Battle of
Tippecanoe in Captain Spier Spencer’s company. In
1834, Ephraim entered for some “Canal Land” located near
Pleasant Run, northwest of Delphi, Carroll County.
In 1837, Ephraim Chamberlain was “of White County” when
he entered for some land on the White-Carroll County
Line, just east of Monticello. White County
researchers have not been able to determine how that
land was sold or otherwise disposed of. He
appeared in the 1840 census for Carroll County, along
with the Kelley family and a younger Ephraim
Chamberlain, presumed to be a son. Both Ephraim
Senior and Ephraim Junior are listed on the Tippecanoe
County Delinquent Tax List for Fairfield Township in
1842. They were “not found.” I have searched
the Tippecanoe County deed indices, but find nothing for
Ephraim Chamberlain. Sometime in the 1840s,
Ephraim’s daughter, Louisa Kelley, and her family moved
to Wabash Township, Tippecanoe County. I think
they lived near present-day West Lafayette. I know
that Louisa’s husband, Charles Kelley, worked in the
boat yards of the Ohio River. Perhaps Ephraim also
worked in the canal or canal-traffic trades.
Although Louisa’s husband died in the Mexican War, the
Kelley family stayed in Tippecanoe County. Madeline Bechtold

H. married 1st
Eliza Jane Mcmillen in Hardin Co Kentucky around
1852 and they had two daughters Laura 1853 and
Isabell or Belle 1854 or 1855. Eliza died and
he married Sarah Daugherty in Bartholomew County
Indiana in the fall of 1860. Both John H. and
William fathered lots of children and the they both
named their children (in no particular order)
William, John, Nancy, Elizabeth, Zelmon, Cornelius,
James, Indiana, Miles etc. They tended to
repeat the names. Looking for anything that might

DAVIS
- DeFORD - McCORMICK
WILLIAM ANDREW DAVIS -
William A. Davis purchased Lot #77 in the addition to
the town of Lafayette on June 2, 1841 (Deed Book Q, page
289). This was land laid out and recorded by
Stockwell, Hanna, Hunter?, and Taylor. The previous
owner was listed as "Indian Works."
In October 1841, William
married Rebecca DeFord in Frankfort, Clinton, Indiana.
On March 20, 1843 (recorded
Deed Book R, Page 508, May 22, 1843) they transferred
Lot 77 to John McCormick.
In 1850, William and Rebecca
were living in Lauramie Twp, Tippecanoe County,
Indiana. Shortly after that, they moved to Wells
County, Indiana, but were in Illinois by 1860 and then
on to Lyon County, Kansas, by 1870.
From all censuses, William
A. Davis appears to have been born about 1821 to 1823
(in Virginia). I'm trying to figure out where the
money came from for him to purchase the lot initially in
1841, most likely under 20 years of age. I'm
assuming it must have been an inheritance.
In the White and Pulaski,
Indiana, Historical and Biographical, pubished in 1883,
there is a write-up regarding I.M. Davis, the son of
John and Isabel Davis living in White County. It
mentions that his grandfather was stolen when a child by
some sailors and brought to America.
There is a story in my
family of a grandfather who was kidnapped when he was
about 11 years old and brought to America. My
mother had no idea what line it was. My g-aunt
says it was our Patton line, but the Patton line says it
was our Davis line.
I've not been able to locate
a connection to this Davis line in White County, "yet."
I have not been able to
determine who his parents or any family members are and
thinking the key may be in where the money came
from. I can certainly use some help/suggestions!

DAVIS
- BISHOP - CRADLEBAUGH
Nathaniel DAVIS, born abt.
1810 in KY married Delila Jane BISHOP, Aug. 28, 1834 in
Franklin County, IN. Delila was possibly the
daughter of George BISHOP. In 1840 they might have
been in Rush County.
In 1850 they were in Boone
County, IN with children: Quartus (?) age 15;
Marion age 14;
Georganna age 3; and Alford
age 1.
No one in the family seemed
to age much, except Nathaniel and Georganna between
census years. By 1860 the family was in Lauramie Twp.,
Tippecanoe County, and the children are listed as Corton
age 21; Willshire age 20, Georgeana age 14. The
Corton was my gr.gr. grandfather, Edgar C. Davis, and I
believe that the full name of the second son was
Wilshire Marion. Alford appears to have died
between 1850 and 1860. Delilah remarries to
a Daniel CRADLEBAUGH in 1865 in Tippecanoe
County. There must have been a divorce
between them because they were married a second time on
November 19, 1877 in Seneca County, OH. The record
shows that a Mrs. Delilah Cradlebaugh m. Daniel
Cradlebaugh. Daniel died in 1891 in Ohio and was
brought back to Tippecanoe County and buried in Battle
Ground Cemetery (according to estate file).
Delilah was mentioned in his estate as widow, but I have
no clue where she lived after that or when or where she
died. I also would like to find her parents - my
hunch is that her father was George Bishop, mainly
because she named her daughter Georganna; also there was
a George Bishop in Franklin County at the time of her
marriage to Nathaniel Davis. I have not
found a divorce for Delilah and Nathaniel, so for now I
am assuming that he died before 1865. I also need
his his parents, place of birth, death date and place.

FRIEND
- NOAKES
Seeking information on
grandfather Carl (Parl?) Friend. The only thing I
know about him is that he was born in May of 1883.
He was one of thirteen (13) children and I do not know
his parents' names. Three of his sisters were
named May, Mabel and Georgia. I know of one
brother who went by the nickname of "Dutch" (do not know
his given name). I know that this "Dutch" lived in
Lafayette and probably died there in the late 1980's or
the early 1990s. I am guessing that, given those
dates, he was considerably younger than Carl. Carl
Friend married Ethel Claire Noakes in 1901 or
thereabouts and I am not sure where. Thank you for
any information that you may be able to pass along.

KENNEDY
- BURCH - FOSTER
I have been researching
Kennedy family and have a number of brick walls -
probably because of the common name.
The info I have is that Wm.
A. Kennedy (son of James and Susanna Burch Kennedy) was
born 2-7-1817 Warfren County, Ohio. Wm. A. married
Sarah M. (Foster) whose father was Greer Foster of PA
7-16-1840 in Boone County, IN. They have one son
(James Greer Kennedy) who was killed at the battle of
Nashville 4-3-1865. His enlistment papers show
residence as Galveston, IN.
The info I have is that they
were in Tippecanoe County prior to relocating to
Cherokee County, Kansas. Cherokee County Kansas
was opened up to settlers after civil war in 1866 and I
have of record that they were in KS Nov. 1866.
Father of Wm. A. Kennedy was
James Kennedy. I have of record that he fought in
war of 1812 and had lived in NY coming from Ireland.
Do not know anything else -
any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Patrick Kennedy was born

(married name?) and lived in Zanesville, Ohio, They are
shown in 1850 Ohio census (Muskingum County). They had a
son, Bernard (born approx, 1842), who married Kate
McGovern in Zanesville, Ohio. They had a son,
Edward, who married Elizabeth Carberry of Pittsburgh,

RICHARDSON
I am seeking information on
Aaron Richardson who was born abt 1786 somewhere in
Virginia. Aaron was in Brookville, Indiana by 1813
when he married Elizabeth Herndon born 1794 in
Virginia. Aaron spent the rest of his life in
Tippecanoe county and was last found on the census of
1860 in Randolph, Romney Indiana Tippecanoe
County. I know Aaron was the recipient of parcels
of land in 1822 and I suspect he may have gotten the
land because he served in the War of 1812. He was
a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
According to the census records Aaron had a brother
Abija born 1793 who served in the War of 1812. I
believe he also had a brother Isaac born in 1793.
He had a sister Rachel born in 1790 who married George
Barkhurst in Dearborn Indiana after George's first wife
Tamzen died a year earlier. I believe that George
and Rachel had a son George Barkhurst born in
1830. The Richardsons were closely involved with
the Barkhurst family of Ohio, the Herndons, the Ganos
and others who all were early settlers in Tippecanoe and
members of the Methodist Episcopal church. There
was a lot of intermarriage between these families who
usually lived near each other. Aaron and Elizabeth
had children Elliot, who married Tamzen Gano, Marie,
Ann, Rachel, Albert, Clarissa and Charlotte. Two
of their sons died young. If you know anything
about Aaron Richardson please let me know.

appears on the Lafayette 3rd Ward, Tipp Co., 1850 census
living with the Mulford family at age 17. William Stake
married Cynthia Fleming 31 Oct 1852 in Tipp. Co. On the
1860 Tipp. Co., Shelby Twp. census William and Cynthia
Stake appear with children. William lists his age as 50
and Cynthia as 25. They again appear in the 1870 Tipp.
Co., Tipp. Twp census and again William lists his age as
50, Cynthia as 30. On 20 Oct 1873 Cynthia Stake is found
to have married a Edwin R. Douglas in Montgomery County
and all the children from her marriage to William Stake
have been dispersed to different families around
Crawfordsville. I can find no trace of Cynthia and Edwin

STEVENS
John Stevens arrived in the
port of New Orleans in Dec 1850, where he came from
County Mayo, Ireland, via Liverpool. He filed his dec
Aug 4, 1851 in Lafayette, Tippecanoe County. Shortly
after that, a Hugh Stevens also followed the same travel
route and filed his papers in Lafayette Oct 10, 1854.
I'm presuming the two are related, but can't seem to
find anything about their family, other siblings or
parents' names, etc. Actually, Hugh Stevens seems
to disappear from Tippecanoe records shortly after that
point, although there are ample Tippecanoe County
records from abt 1860 onward
until his death in 1893 for
John Stevens, who first married Catherine Kelly in the
early 1850s, and after her death, married Eliza Murdock
in 1860. It is the record of his family before
these points that I'm having trouble. Jacqi Stevens

(ggrandmother) b. 1873 d. 1922; Edna; George; Sarah;
Ruth; MIrwood; Alyce b. 7-29-1898. Emily married
Fredrick Trieschman 5/5/1900. Fred b. 3/31/1873 d.
8/3/1955 and he was buried in the Springvale Cemetery in
Lafayette. His wife Emily and their daughter Sarah
are also buried there. Supposedly on the same
lot. Can anyone help me find out who Emily’s
parents were? Thanks to all. Judy A. Koenig

WHITE
I am trying to find the parents of my second great
grandmother - Mary Ann White born about 1823,
Tippecanoe, Indiana. (Or possibly Pennsylvania?)
- Sister
Louisa White born 1833, Tippecanoe, Indiana.
- Father shows
as born in Delaware in the 1880 census
- Mother shows
as born in Penn in the 1880 census
- Mary Ann
shows herself born in Indiana in the 1880 census
- Mary Ann
shows her children's mother (her presumably unless she
adopted a siblings children) born in Virginia.
(Children Simeon G., Emery, and Emma).
- Mary Ann's
husband Enoch George Yeager died 22 June 1879 and is
not listed in the 1880 census. He was born in Norfolk
County, Virginia.
Mary Ann
reports herself to be 56 on the day of the 1880 census
for Wabash, Tippecanoe, Indiana on 2 June 1880 The 1900
census shows Mary Ann (White) Yeager living with her son
Simeon G. And shows her birth as August 1823. Her sister
Louisa White lives with them and shows as being born
July 1833 and as being Simeon's aunt. Simeon lists his
father as born in Virginia, and his mother Mary Ann as
born in Indiana. Mary Ann and Louisa list their father
as born in Delaware, their mother in Ohio and themselves
born in Indiana. The 1860 census lists George Yeager
born in Virginia and Mary Ann born in Indiana along with
all of their children, Florence, Simeon, Sarah, Minnie,
and Addisonetta. * Where was Mary Ann born? Presumably
Indiana. * Who were her parents? * Where were her
parents born? Presumably father in Delaware and mother
in Ohio, but where? * Who were her children? Presumably
Florence Iogene, Simeon George, Sarah, Minnie,
Addisonetta, and twins Emery James and Emma Jane. * Who
were her siblings? Laura White clearly. Any others? *
When did she die? * Where are she, her sister and her
parents buried? * George Yeager was likely buried in or
near the Wabash township, Tippecanoe, Indiana Thanks in
advance for any help or hints.

I am looking for information
(birth certificate especially) on William (Henry) Wilson
born May 1, 1887 in Lafayette Indiana.
This is what is listed on his Draft registration for
WWI. His mother's name was Marsella.
Marsella was born in Indiana or Ohio in December
1848. She is listed with William her son in
the 1900 Census living in Arapahoe County (Denver)
Colorado. Her place of birth is listed as
Ohio. In the 1910 Census her place of birth
is listed as Indiana.In the 1920 census it is listed as
Ohio. Marsella also had a daughter Luella
born in Indiana. She also moved with them to
Colorado.
Can anyone tell me where
they lived in Lafayette Indiana. I cannot find any
birth records for this place or marriage records.
I am not sure of William's dad's name.
Any information would be
appreciatiated. Thanks. Theresa Wilson
