Recalling from reading at one time, a member of my Hendrickson/Shirley family in Tipton Co IN, took a boy to raise that was on an orphan train. The boy ended up marrying their daughter. He had come from the east with his mother, a brother & sister, who left the train in Ohio. He had a note pinned to him that had his mother's name... and later he went to Ohio to see the family. So it was not just children on the orphan train. [email protected]
