I looked in the 1870 Kosiciusko census and didn't find any names like Liveringhouse. In the 1870 Indiana Census Index (from Heritage Quest), there are only two Liveringhouses: A. , age 18, F, in Elkhart (p. 394) and Wm, age 54, in Elkhart, (p. 388). There is a Henry Livinghouse in Marshall (age 54) and a couple of Liverings (Abraham, 37 in Tippecanoe and Hain M. 52 in Elkhart). There was also a John Levering, age 44, in Tippecanoe Co. (p.125). Otherwise no luck. Could he have been out of the state? There were no death certificates in this area in 1877, but sometimes one can find information from tombstone inscriptions. No Liveringhouses in the northern Kosciusko Twp cemetery indexes, but you might want to try Elkhart Co. (there are films you can order through a FHC). >Hello All: > >I am looking for any information about my ancestor John Liveringhouse.
