Ellen Phipps (Fipps) married Paul Merkel Dec 1, 1836 in Harrison Co, IN. Ellen later married William Gresham (on 1860 census) and had a child Daniel Gresham--also Josephine and Jacob Merkel were living with William and Ellen Gresham. Ellen also could be the mother of Mary Markel (m) John Gresham in Harrison Co in 1863. Jacob and Josephine are siblings of Mary Markel Gresham who would have been my father's grandmother. My Gresham line is, Lawrence & Sarah O'Nei Gresham; John and Nancy Cox Gresham; Joseph and Oliviah Patterson Gresham; John and Mary Markel Gresham. I am trying to trace the Phipps (Fipps) and Markel/Merkel families. Any help?
