John Henry Metcalf was born in Koscuiske Co., Indiana. His father, Joseph Metcalfe, altho born in Ohio, was married in Fayette, Indiana, to Sarah Heck in 1830. John Henry Metcalf was married to Margaret Ellen Henry. I have only been able to go back as far as Issace Metcalfe (Joseph's father), born 13 Feb 1784 in Yorkshire, England, married to Mary Spencer 25 Feb 1808 in England. Any info on these families would be appreciated.

Dr. Jerry, No, the Gawthrop who married Sarah Ellen (or W.) Stephenson in 1838 is Richard Byron's father, Richard Jr.. Richard Jr (1818-aft 1870) is the son of Richard Sr (1781-1855). Richard Sr's full name is Richard Thomas Sr., according to a longtime researcher. Brenda Robison Indianapolis, IN

Brenda Robison: Is this Richard Byron Gawthrop? Dr. Jerry

Yes, I have a Sarah Ellen (or W.) Stephenson who married Richard Gawthrop, Jr. on December 25, 1838 in Kosciusko Co. I'm searching for her parents, siblings, anything. Can you help? Brenda Robison Indianapolis, IN

Anyone out their with a Sarah Stephenson marrying a Gawthrop in the 1800s or late 1700's?

I am researching the Stephenson family. I am unable to connect your info with mine at this time. Do you know the father of James Henry Stephenson? Did his father serve in the Rev. war? I have a lot of info of the Stephensons who are descended from Robert Stephenson from New Jersey. He was born about 1735 and had 5 sons, all of which served in the Rev. war. They are James Nathaniel, Zadock, David, Reuben and one unknown name. The five brothers scattered to various parts of the country. I have info on James, Zadock and David. I hope we can make a connection. Jerry Christ Gainesville, Florida "Joan E.

I don't think that this is the same Samuel and William. Their parents names were William and Rebecca. However, all is not lost and in fact you are in luck (or your husband is). William and Samuel's oldest brother was John. John was first married to Christina Ash in 1839. I don't have a date for when she died, but John married again to Mary (Pittenger?) in 1847. Samuel's age on the 1850 census is listed as 8 and William's is listed as 5. This would have made them born in 1842 and 1845 respectively. More than likely, Christina Ash was their biological mother, though I'm sure they thought of Mary as their real mother. John and Mary's two children would have been Rebecca and Agnes. Rebecca's middle name started with an A. Either she or Agnes could have been your Alice. Of course, John and Mary could have had more children. Unfortunately I haven't done any research on John's descendants since he's not my direct line. Hope this helps you out! Jennifer

My Grandmother was Hannah Yeager. She was born in Indiana. She wouldn't be on the census you have as she was born abt. 1866. She had several sisters and one brother. The name was first spelled Yager. You have a Jacob Yager in your census of 1850. That is probably my Gr. Grandfather. I am new to the list. My first posting. If there are any Yager, Yeager or Riders. I would like to hear from you. Always hunting for cousins but just found your list and joined yesterday. You have a wonderful site. I can tell a lot of work has gone into it. I would like to visit Indiana someday but until then would like any information anyone would share about the above names. Gladly share what I have. Barbara Bay Dewing in MO - from Okla. where my Grandparents ended up. God Bless each of you and good hunting.

There are KELLYs in my husband's family tree and his aunt says John Kelly was their direct ancestor through John and Mary's daughter, Alice. I'm not working on this branch at present, but noted the names and had to write! Cindy Kimes

Hello, Would like to exchange infor on the Crouch families. I am just starting to compile info about my Crouch branch. I do know that some of them were in Indiana although the one for sure place mentioned is Bartholomew, IN before moving on to Missouri.

Searching for parents of Sarah Ellen Stephenson, b. 17 March 1820 in Ohio; d. 28 March 1868 Kosciusko Co, IN; m. 25 Dec 1838 Kosciusko Co, IN Richard Gawthrop. May be related to James Henry Stephenson born 1804 Bath Co, VA to James Stephenson, Jr. & Margaret Smith, who moved to Jackson Co, OH shortly after his birth. James Henry moved to Kosciusko Co, IN about 1835. Poss a daughter of one of his cousins, William or Samuel Stephenson who also came to Kosciusko Co, IN c1835. Brenda Robison Indianapolis, IN

Sorry...in my rush to get back to studying for midterms, I wasn't paying much attention to what I was writing. I should have been clearer and said that Elizabeth Crouch (married Samuel Kelly) was the daughter of Malinda Groves (sister of Daniel Groves) and granddaughter of Elizabeth Stinson. As for Malinda being married to Horatio Shaw....I haven't not come across that, and as far as I can tell neither has my mother (who was working on this family before I was). Of course all that means is perhaps we haven't done enough searching. I do know that Malinda's husband James did not die until 1857, so unless there was a divorce it seems unlikely that she married Horatio after James. James and Malinda's first child was born in 1823 and their last child was born 1847. From this information I don't see how Malinda could have also been married to Horatio at any time. As far as I know, no one has found much information on her father William. Perhaps William went to IN with brothers, one of whom had a daughter Matilda, who married Horatio. I also should have been clearer with the info on the Kelly's. I have William Sr. married to 1)Rebecca (Sapp?) & 2) Sophronia Myrick (another interesting connection here...the marriage books have a Groves married to a Myrick as well). William Sr. and Rebecca were the parents of Hester (who started off this discussion), John, Ann, Samuel (my ancestor), Mary Ann, Henry, William Jr. and Jane. Henry is the one who married Sultana (William Sr. died in 1849 and according to the Koscuisko Co Marriage Book 3 pg 317 Henry and Sultana were married in 1853). Unfortunately this marriage book says that Sultana's last name was Streana (though in other records that I now can't find the citations to it was listed as Summey). And now...looking through the pages I copied from the Kosciusko Co marriage books and checking them agains the copies on the web...I see that Sultana Summey married McKee Strane 13 March 1851 Book 3 pg 157. Sorry to open a new can of worms.... I think the important this here is that the Kelly, Summy, Lightfoot, Groves, Stinson and Crouch familys were connected. I'm having a problem tracing past William Kelly Sr., William Groves and Joseph Crouch. The Lightfoots and Summy's aren't actually my line, but I thought finding where connecting familys were from might shed light on where my line is from.

We all know there are lots of people researching their ancestors that don't use computers. But, these same folks are reading genealogy columns in their local newspapers. So how does one find a genealogy column in the locality you're researching that will post queries? And, may one submit queries by email? The Mobile (Alabama, USA) Genealogical Society's web site has a page called THE NEWS STAND that provides this information? They list many newspapers, by State, and include information on how to contact the column's writer. A great way to find some of your kin!

Jennifer said that Samuel Kelley's wife, Elizabeth Crouch (b. 1830), was a niece of Daniel & Amanda (Groves) Lightfoot and that the mother of Elizabeth Crouch was the daughter of Elizabeth Stinson. >From Pg. 576-577, Biographical and Historical Record of Kosciusko County, Indiana, by Lewis 1887, Chicago, 2 vols: The parents of Daniel & Matilda Groves were William & Elizabeth Groves. The Indiana State Database for Marriages to 1850 has has a marriage for Matilda Groves to Horatio Shaw on Feb 15, 1838 in Kosciusko Co, IN. Page 174, Kosciusko Co 1836, lists Elizabeth Crouch b. 1830 as dtr of James & Malilda (Groves) Crouch. Was Malilda/Matilda Groves married to both Horatio Shaw & James Crouch? Can anyone shed some light on this? Brenda Robison Indianapolis, IN

The convergence of the names Lightfoot, Kelley, Summey, Groves & Stinson is not coincidence, the way I read the histories in the Kosciusko Co. books. But more research needs to be done on ancestors of Hester Kelley, wife of William Lightfoot & mother of Mary Lightfoot who m. Lanson Summey. The family sheet I received from Helen Lightfoot Treesh in Feb 1998 was prepared at an unknown date by: Jeane Hostetler (formerly of Pierceton, IN), 815 N. Highland, Indianapolis, IN 46202 (Joan Hostetler in current phone book at this address; phone 639-2814). It lists the wife of William Lightfoot (?-1852 MO) as Hester Kelley (1812 OH-1852 MO) & says she was the dtr of William Kelley & Sophia (scratched out & Sultana Summey handwritten above). Sources cited are the Summey family history and Census of Lee Co., Iowa, Dist. 29, page 482, Oct 24, 1850. Jennifer on 3-16-99 said Hester's brother William was married to Sultana Summey. But there's a third opinion to be considered also. Page 174, Kosciusko County 1836-1986 has two writeups on the Kelley family. One submitted by Myrtle Anglin, Warsaw, IN & the other by Virgil A. McCleary, Warsaw, IN: William Kelley Sr. 1792 VA-1849 IN m-1 in OH bef 1823 to Rebecca (1796-1839) and m-2 in 1847 to Mrs. Sophia Myrick. Eight known children w/ Rebecca: 1. Hester, m. William Lightfoot 2. John 3. Samuel A., 1822 OH; m-1. Mary Ann McLoughan; m-2 Elisabeth Crouch, d/o James & Malilda (Groves) Crouch 4. Ann, m. Thomas W. Elliott 5. Mary Ann 6. Henry P., m-1. Sultana Summey (?-1860); m-2. ? 7. William Jr. 8. Jane, m. Alexander D. Pittenger. Pg 195 of the same book says William & Hester (Kelley) Lightfoot's dtr Mary m. Lanson Summey. Does anyone on the list have access to the Summey family history to see who it has Sultana Summey married to? Brenda Robison Indianapolis, IN
