Once while looking through IGI records at LDS I found: James Becklehimer married Juliann Wright 14 Nov 1846 in Pul. VA unfortunately I have been unable to verify the source. Here's the LDS numbers. Batch number 8709212 Sheet 38 input source 1396324. Also, the 1880 census shows in Putnam County, Jackson Township. James Becklehimer age 52 born Virginia The wife's name is very hard to read but appears to be Huldah(?) age 38 birthplace Indiana. Their children listed are Name Relationship Age Birthplace Calvin G. Son 19 Ind. Sarah E. D. 16 Ind. Henrietta D. 13 Ind. Ransom S. 11 Ind. continued on the next page... Armildah(?) D. 8 Ind. WIlliam J. S. 5 Ind. I also have a copy of the Family Tree Maker 1860 Indiana Census. It doesn't show relationships between people so you may have to infer. Here's family/dwelling 630 page 515 series M653 Micorfilm 291. I list these by line number. Name Age Birthplace Census line number James 33 Vir. 2A Head of Household Hulda 20 Ind. 3A Elizabeth 30 Ind. 4A Margaret 10 Ind. 5A Mary 8 Ind. 6A John 6 Ind. 7A Serelda 5 Ind. 8A James 11months Ind. 9A So, what's the relationship bewteen James/Hulda and Elizabeth? I would assume that Elizabeth's age is a typo on the CD but have never checked the real records. This might indicate that James had only one wife and the children are listed by first name sometimes and middle or nicknams another time.
