In the 1860 census, an Elizabeth Hardin, age 6, b. IN, is found with Erastus/Erasmus Lincoln in Union twp., Adams co., 4 pages from William and Jane Harden. In 1870 census Eli Whitright is found with William and Jane Harden, and as noted below, Elizabeth is in the household just before William's. How helpful this is I don't know but that's where Joey --- On Wed, 12/7/11, Heritage Room <heritage@bernepl.lib.in.us> wrote: From: Heritage Room <heritage@bernepl.lib.in.us> Subject: Re: [INADAMS] Harden To: inadams@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, December 7, 2011, 10:25 AM I pulled up the 1860 and 1870 censuses for Adams Co. IN and found no record of Elizabeth Harden in 1860.  However, I found her in 1870 in Union Twp., Adams Co., IN (Pleasant Mills) living with Erasmus Lincoln age 60 and George Lincoln age 34.  It states that Elizabeth was born in Ohio and William and Jane are living next door with a son, Isaiah, age 15.  We have a record of William and Jane marrying on 14 Nov 1852 in Adams Co., IN. Because Elizabeth was born 1854 and is living next door to William and Jane and eventually marries Eli Whitright who is living with the Hardens I truly thought that she had to be their daughter.  But I found William and Jane in the 1860 census and their oldest child is 4 year old Isaiah.  Surely, they wouldn't have shipped Elizabeth out at the age 5.  And because Elizabeth says she was born in Ohio but her parents married in Adams Co., Indiana I think this gives us another reason to believe that she is not their daughter.  I looked up Elizabeth Harden in 1860 in Ohio and found a lot of them but I have no idea which one would be her.  Could it be that she is a niece of William Harden?  Maybe her parents in Ohio died and various family members took in Elizabeth and any siblings she may have had between 1860 and 1870.  When we find her in Adams Co. in 1870 she is 16 and old enough to be hired out. That could explain why she is living next door to William and Jane.  Just a thought.

I have so many! Mine migrated from Guernsey Co., OH to Adams Co. I have SMITH -REED-ENGLE-and dozens more. My ggg uncle Joseph R. Smith settled in Adams Co. around 1840. In 1862 his youngest brother, my ggg grandfather, John Minor Smith, deposited his wife, children and their mother and left for the Civil War. He died in 1864. The mother, Lydia Elizabeth (Bessie) Reed Smith (widow of Jacob Smith) had 15 children and outlived all but Joseph, the oldest. Several of her siblings children also moved to Adams Co. Faith Keahey

Thank you. CHAPMAN KEISS/KEYS GARRARD/PARED/JARRED Names I'm working with are all related/descendent to John E CHAPMAN and his wife Sarah KEISS/KEYS, who were born in Lycoming County, PA, and after a brief residence in Luzerne County, PA, came to Adams County in 1838 and lived in the Pleasant Mills area for some time before moving just over the Adams/Allen County line. Their children stayed mostly in the Pleasant Mills area and John E and wife Sarah are both buried in the Alpha Cemetery along with several of their offspring. I would very much like to find anything-anyone-has about Rachel GARRARD/PARED/JARRED who was married to John E's son William Cox CHAPMAN and died 1853 at age 23. I have the marriage info and she is buried in Alpha, but I can't get a glimmer so far beyond that. Thanks to all. SJ McKay

We are searching for the ancestors and descendants of John Frederick Hindenlang. Associated names: Miller, Wildernrod, & Geeting Recent research indicates the parents of John Frederick may have been John Hendelong and his mother may have remarried a Francis Leitzy on John Hindelong's death. Willing to provide our documentation and discuss either ancestor or descendants.

We are searching for the ancestors and descendants of Jacob Barlet. Associated names: Lewellen, Sutton and Jeffries. Recent research has connected Jacob's family to the Paul Barlet b;1714 in Berks Co Pa. Jacob Barlet --> Ephraim Barlet --> Joseph (AKA Joshua) Barlet --> Sebastian Barlet --> Paul Barlet. Current weak point is; documenting that Catharine, Jacob mother, was indeed a Lewellen for which we have tons of circumstantial evidence. Willing to provide our documentation and discuss either ancestor or descendants.
