Jerusha Denend/Dinand/Denand/Denning/Demming B: abt 1820 IN M: 13 March 1839 District 42 Huntington Co IN Peter Pfautz/Fouts/Foutz Okay here is the interesting part: Was said that her daughters, one of which is my GGGrandmother were of Cherokee Descent which would be on moms' side as Peters' Family were of German descent coming from the Bavaria area. I have hunted high and low for my Jerusha but not finding anything as prior to 1850 the children were only listed by ages in the appropriate columns on census pages. The marriage record tells; Jerusha Denend according to a marriage record 10 Oct 1864 Otoe Co NE Jerusha was married to a Wm Jones although the people in Lawrence Co MO are not my people as that Jerusia/Jarusia Jones was a BECK. The other curious thing is No divorce decree exists in Otoe Co NE for Jerusha & Peter. Can anyone help me with this most puzzling puzzle? Perhaps somoene could give me a clue as to what Cherokee tribes were in IN in the 1830's? Perhaps her name was changed from her given Tribal name. Anything at all out there? Thanks
