Surnames: SHINKLE, ANDERSON, CAPLINGER/KEPLINGER, BENNINGTON, CUSTER, HOLMES, ARNOLD, BOND Barbara SHINKLE (dau. of Frederick & Jamaeca SHINKLE) married Sam ANDERSON (son of William and Mary BROCK ANDERSON), in Bainbridge, Ross Co., OH on Sept 16, 1891. They had 10 children including twins who died at birth. The family lived in the 700 blk of North St., Greenfield, OH. On June 16, 1915 Sam and Barbara were divorced and the family split up. My mother, born Lucinda ANDERSON, her sister Ruth and possibly their brother Theodore, were taken away from Barbara after she and Sam divorced. My mother was put in the Highland Co. Childrens Home in Hillsboro. Barbara continued to live at the North St. address with the older boys who were old enough to work. In July 1916 Barbara married Lee BENNINGTON from Wilmington OH. At that time the family remained in the Greenfield area. Some of the ANDERSON family stayed in the Greenfield area and their descendants are living there still. Lucinda was possibly adopted and her name changed to Margaret Lucile BOND, then returned to the orphanage where she was in the 1920 census. The two girls were brought to Indiana after the 1920 census by Mr and Mrs Charles (Catherine CUSTER) HOLMES where they were raised. Mrs CUSTER-HOLMES said she got the girls from a very good friend of hers, and Mrs CUSTER-HOLMES was from the same Ohio area as the SHINKLES. My mother used the name Margaret Lucile ANDERSON on her marriage certificate, but was unable to find any certificate of her birth when she reached retirement age. The other children all had birth certificates, which supports her early memory of being adopted then returned. I wonder if the BOND family were relatives or family friends? My mother stayed in Indiana, married my father and lived the rest of her life here. Her sister Ruth married George ARNOLD, they lived the rest of their lives in Florida. One brother went to Good Hope, OH, one was in Dayton, one was in Cleveland and Theodore possibly became a minister. Two of the ANDERSON brothers were in the State Prison fire in the 30's where one was cited for bravery for helping free prisoners, thus saving many lives. Unfortunately he was unable to save the life of his own brother who died in the flames. The surviving brother ended up committing suicide after his release. There are descendants of my mothers brothers that we can not seem to find any trace of. I have been to the Greenfield/Highland county area several times trying to find answers to many questions and talked to several new-found cousins and family. We located Sam and Barbaras graves. Barbara was living at the time of her death, at 433 McClain St, Greenfield OH, back of the High School. There are more descendants of the children of Sam and Barbara ANDERSON and I would very much enjoy hearing from them and sharing family stories. The most important unanswered question is why the SHINKLES who were fairly well off did not take my Mother and her sister into their families. Perhaps Barbara was disowned after marrying Sam? I would appreciate sharing info about this ANDERSON line, and would gladly pay for copies of family pictures if there are any.
