Re: Stuart's in Indiana Kosciusko County

Carrol in Michigan — 1 Aug 2006 8:44:41 GMT

I had no idea there were Stuarts in Koscuisko County, Indiana. My maternal great grandmother was a descendant of Irwin Stuart and Hannah Ballinger. I am also a descendant of Henry Imel whose brother, Peter's descendants settled in Koscuisko County. Are there any Imels intermarried with the Stuarts there? This county name literally jumped of the page at me, because my son-in-law is a descendant of the Koscuisko County Imels, believe it or not as well, and I did family research for him . And yes the answer to your next question is...my grandchildren are also my distant cousins as a result of this. They thought that was really cool when I reported the other family connection that we have.

Marie J. Park/Parks, M.D. in Warsaw early 1870's

NancyMSmith — 5 Apr 2008 4:43:52 GMT

I have a collection of letters from a young girl named Jennie, attending the Steubenville Female Seminary, Steubenville, Ohio in the early 1870's who spends her vacations in Warsaw, Indiana. I gather from reading these letters that Jennie is the daughter of Marie J. Park/Parks, who seems to have attended Medical School in New York with my great grandfather between the Civil War and 1870. I suspect that Jennie's last name may have been Park or Parks, but I am not sure of this. One letter seeming to be from Marie says she went 10 miles out of town on a case and nearly got stuck in the mud trying to get home. In the 1880 Census I can find a Marie J. Furlong, 42, Physician, and wife of Gilbert Furlong, Marble dealer. I cannot find out anything further except Gilbert seems to have married Annie J. Hipkins in 1889. My great-grandfather did not marry into this family and I would like to share these letters with anyone who can prove they are descendants of Jennie or Marie. Does anyone have any ideas? Nancy Smith

Seeking information on Joseph and Mary MATTIX. They were divorced in Kosciusko County in 1863. Joseph died in about August 1869, and his Will was probated in Kosciusko County. I do not know his exact date of death, nor do I know where he is buried. The last residence I have for him is a farm in Prairie Township. Mary lived with her son, Robert, after the divorce. She died July 27, 1891. Records of the Tucker Funeral Home in Claypool show the burial of "Grandma Maticks" in Center Cemetery, Lake Township. I have been unable to find any stone for her in that cemetery. Any information on either of these people, who are my gg-grandparents, would be greatly appreciated.

Kibler's in Kosciuko - Philip, Margaret, Fred W.

perkylzd — 3 Dec 2006 2:29:54 GMT

I am seeking any information regarding my ggf Fred W. Kibler. There are indications that Fred was born in Oswego, Kosciusko, IN on May 15, 1853. Though I have not found any census' of Fred or his parents, Philip and Margret Kibler in the Kosciusko area, I did find them in a June 23, 1870 census in Wapello, Town Center, Iowa with a brother named Erza W. In this census, Fred is listed as age 16 and Erza 14. Philp (a farmer) is now age 65 and indicates he is from Penn. Margaret, age 58, indicates she is from Penn. Interestingly, I found one census from Kosciusko dated July 27, 1870 (same year - also summer) in Plain Township listing a Philip Kibler, age 30, working as a boot and shoemaker who lists himself also from Penn. I am wondering if Philip could be Philip and Margret's eldest son perhaps that did not follow them to Wapello or if there is any relation ?

I have found several census records showing other Kibler's in the area, however it is unknown if they are related to my Kibler lineage. Of interest there are several children with the surname Kibler shown living in other households. I assume they could be orphans. One is Phebe Kibler, shown in an 1860 Kosciusko census, age 3 who is living in the Hiner residence. I can't quite make out the township on this page, possibly Wayne. On the same page, Christopher Kibler, age 5 is living in another household - looks like either Milford or Woolford. Both children appear to have been born in OH. The head of the Hiner residence was from Penn. As is the head of the Milford (or Woolford) residence also from Penn.

Any information would be appreciated.

If anyone happens to have any information on the Kibler families it would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you, Lori Dubay

Family pictures

I have numerous family pictures for the following names in Kosciusko County: Burson, Gawthrop, Crites, Secrist (Sechrist), Kuhn, Follis, Sutherlin, Ritter, Lursen, McKibbin or McKibben, Plew, Whitacre, Larimer, Thomas, Henwood, Haworth, Likens, Rider, Koontz, Armstrong, Huston, Howell, Hanck, Beghtel, Lautzenhiser, and I think that may cover it.

Would appreciate it if someone with access to cemetery lists in Kosciusko County could see if per chance they died before the 1860 Census in the county.

Harrison Andrew, born in Maryland abt. 1806 and Susan (Anderson) Andrew born in Ohio abt. 1813.

The family story goes that my G Grandmother was born a "Sexton" in Nebraska 2 Oct 1880. She was adopted by an Anderson family. Her name when she married my G Grandfather (William (Wink) Foughty) was Georgia Anderson. She appears on the 1900 census Kosiusko Co. Indiana. I have not been able to trace her before that.

If anyone has a clue please post a reply, if it doesnt pan out, well at least it is a start. I have exhausted my ideas. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and Happy Hunting in your searches.

Phyllis Nilsson — 24 Oct 2006 5:44:09 GMT

1906. When he (d: 26 Nov 1990) and his wife Eunice (d: Sep 1982) died, I believe they lived in Leesburg, Kosciusko Co., Indiana. "Uncle Gene" was my grandfather's brother (parents: John A. Harper and Frances "Frankie" Beeson). When I was a child I visited them on their farm outside Muncie, Indiana.

I'd like to know where they are buried, and where their children (Frances May Harper and John Harper (Jr.?) are buried. if indeed they are dead. If possible, I would also like to know Eunice's maiden name. I believe they were married after 1920, but I don't know where. Any obituary of these relatives or other information you have regarding them would be very appreciated.

Richard Lee, b 1791, VA

Irene E. Adler — 3 Feb 2006 12:05:34 GMT

Looking for information on the Richard LEE born about 1791in Virginia, who is in Franklin Township, Kosciusko County, Indiana for the 1840, 1850 and 1860 census (occupation is listed as farmer and physician). He had a wife Susan (born about 1790 in Virginia, died 1850-1860) and at least one child, Isaiah M. Lee (born about 1829 in Ohio), who married Almira Parcelle, 7 January 1849 in Kosciusko County and moved to Marshall County, Indiana by the 1870 Census. This is apparently the same Richard Lee who is in Warren County, Ohio for the 1830 census. I am trying to prove if he is the same Richard LEE born 18 January 1791 in Washington County, Virginia, twin brother of Levi Lee who married Mary Virginia MARCUS and brother of my grgr grandfather, George W. LEE who was born in 1797 in Washington County, Virginia. There were 16 children born to Abner LEE and Catherine WILSON. Children born after about 1800 were born in Jackson County, Tennesee.
If you know that this Richard is the son of Abner LEE and Catherine WILSON, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Irene E. Adler in Califonia

FRAUD ALERT

Zoia Burkhart — 24 Aug 2006 7:21:32 GMT

I was defrauded of $5,600.00 by Charles Rogers, roof conrtractor, from Warsaw,IN. He was supposed to fix the roof on my house on 1730 Central Ave., Anderson, IN. He never did the job and disappeared with the money. Anderson Police Department so far has not been very helpful. Please advise, how to stop Charles Rogers, who is going around deceiving other people. I have to work 2 months for this money teaching classes mornings and evenings. And I owe to credit card for Charles Rogers. Please advise how to fight this fraud or warn other residents of Warsaw of Charles Rogers and his wife Virginia. Virginia personally took the last check of $2,800.00 from me on June 23, 2006, when I was in Anderson, and when recently asked by a BidClerk from Internet about my case, said, that she did not know me. Please advise how to find justice. Thank you. Sincerely, Zoia Burkhart, a teacher in California

Ritter and Hamman families in Kosciusko

Philip Riter — 12 Aug 2006 5:47:54 GMT

Using results from y-chromosomes, we've found that the Hammans and Ritters were not single-origin surnames within Kosciusko County. There were two separate Ritter families--one that migrated from from Stark Co, OH and one from Tuscarawas Co., OH. I'm descended from both of them. There are also two different Hammans, my family from NE Kosciusko and DeKalb (migrating from Tuscarawas and Stark) and a Southern Kosciusko Hamman family related (by y-chromosome test) to a Phillip Hamman who was a Revolutionary War Vet from Virginia (aka Man of Valour, Savior of Greenbourgh). All four families (both Ritters and both Hammans) were assoicated with the Brethren Church.

I'm looking for information on any Thwaits / Thwaits families in Indiana and Ohio. Many of the family lived (and lives) in Kosciusko Co.

Rose Twaits, who married Samuel Garber, was the sister of James Edward.

There are many more Thwaits family lines that I'm interested in, but James Edward was my husband's greatfather, and I'm really interested in anyone in any of the families listed above. All help is appreciated.

Minvera Jane Finton- illegitimate child

Rebecca Akens — 10 Oct 2005 2:05:14 GMT

I'm really hoping that there is some way I can obtain a birth record for this person. She was also known as Jennie. This is the latest skeleton in the closet that I've found. She believed herself to be an orphan, but her mother, Martha Gertrude Finton (who married Lewis David Akens) was actually still living. She was born in 1880, five years before her mother was ever married. From what I have been told she was sent away with someone named Frank Cramer in 1888, but I haven't seen evidence of that yet. I think that there was a Frank Cramer that was a minister in Kosciusko Co. ? Does anyone know anything about him?
Minerva Jane married Charles Wysong in Jan 1898 in Goshen.
I just want to get this out there in case someone else turns up that is a relative to any of these lines or has any information to add. This has been a particularly fascinating hunt! :)

Lutheran churches near Sevastopol

Karin Rettinger — 11 Jun 2006 3:02:15 GMT

My g-g-g- grandmother, Betsy Smith Shively, lived southwest of Sevastapol. Her obit of 1893 says she remained in the Evangelical Lutheran faith from 1844 until she died. Does anyone know what Lutheran congregations may have been near enough for her to have been a member? Her baptism or confirmation would have been in PA. She was living in Kos. co. by 1860. Her funeral services were held in Nichols Chapel.
