Surnames: Headley, Barnhouse, Case, McCormick, Fields Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Blh.2ACEB/368 Message Board Post: My great great grandmother was Sarah Ann Headley born in 1866 in Terre Haute, IN. She married William W. Fields who was part Cherokee and they lived in OK in Indian Territory. Her father was Daniel Headley (as per her 1900 Cherokee Nation census record) and it listed her mother as Almedia Headley. I had been given information from a few cousins that this Almedia Headley was Susan Almedia Barnhouse. Recently, I went to looking for other census records for these Headley and Barnhouse families and came up with a few possibilities and even further confusion. In the 1880 census I find this: Name Relation Marital Status Gender Race Age Birthplace Occupation Father's Birthplace Mother's Birthplace Daniel HEADLEY Self M Male W 44 OH Farmer NJ PA Susan E. HEADLEY Wife M Female W 40 VA Keeping House --- --- Josiah HEADLEY Son S Male W 20 IN Working On Farm OH VA Elisabeth HEADLEY Dau S Female W 19 IN At Home OH VA Sarah Ann HEADLEY Dau S Female W 14 IN At Home OH VA Charlotta HEADLEY Dau S Female W 5 MO OH VA John W. HEADLEY Son S Male W 1 MO OH VA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: 1880 Census Place Beaver, Taney, Missouri Family History Library Film 1254739 NA Film Number T9-0739 Page Number 276D This Sarah Ann Headley is the right age for my Sarah Ann Fields, with father Daniel Headley. For 1900 a friend finds my family as I had it listed for the Cherokee Census in 1900, however, this shows a Lottie Headley living with the family as a sister-in-law (to head of household William W. Fields) being born in MO, and being born in 1873. Lottie had a daughter, Elsie Headley, age 8 also with her, being born in IN. The birth place is right, and the date is about right as well. Then I find an LDS entry for this family (all Headley) children the same as in the 1880 census and it states that the Susan E. is actually Susan E. CASE. Susan is shown as dying in 1882. Daniel is shown as dying in 1904 in Blue Jacket, OK (the place that the census for 1900 shows Sarah Headley Fields and Lottie Fields living). My thoughts are that Daniel's first wife may have died and that he remarried to Susan Almedia Barnhouse. There was a LDS entry for Susan A. Barnhouse having father John Barnhouse and mother Sarah Ann McCormick, but Barnhouse researchers don't have her listed with these parents, but with other ones. If anyone can shed any light on this Headley family, I would appreciate it. Blessings, Jill Watters Rains
