I am looking for conformation of or additional information on my gggrandfather Hiram Kiger. Hiram was born 10/9/1826 in Hamilton Co., Ohio, son of Emanuel Kiger and Rebecca Chambers. Hiram married Amelia Lewis 5/26/1850 in Rush County Indiana. Hiram and Amelia had three children, Leonidas, Caroline and Rush before moving to Whitley Co., Indiana. Hiram was one of three children born to Emanuel and Rebecca, Eliza, also born Hamilton Co., Ohio married to a Thomas Branson and a Martin VanBuren Kiger who married a Lydia Ellen Elliot 6/27/1861 in Howard Co., Indiana. Only known child of Vanburen and Lydia was Nettie May b. 09/16/1866 d. 08/17/1880 buried at the Alto cemetery, Alto, Howard Co., Indiana. Emanuel was born in Ohio abt 1807, probably Clermont Co., where his father Adam Kiger had moved from Virginia. Emanuel was married around 1827 and moved to Miami Twp, Hamilton Co., Ohio. 1830 census shows two children born between 1826 and 1830. Around 1840 Emanuel moved to Rush Co., Indiana with his family and father Adam, whose wife had died. All that is known of Adam Kiger is that he was born abt 1763 in Virginia and died 1856 in Howard Co., Indiana. 1820 census shows him living in Clermont Co., Ohio with a wife over 45 and 4 daughters and 3 sons. Of the 7 children all is know is Emanuel; Elizabeth, born Clermont Co., married a Mr. Hines; Margaret born Clermont Co., married a Mr. Smith and Mary Kiger born Clermont Co., Ohio. Not all of this information is proved so any conformation or addition's would be greatly appreciated. Walter John Kiger
