Fariba Witcher, born about 1853 in Martin County, married (1) George Tindall in 1869 (2) George W. Connell in 1878. They are in the 1880 Martin County census, later moved to Orange County, IN. Does anyone have any information on her parents and siblings?

Dear Mr. Lane, I beleive the parents of Fariba Withcher were Edgar Witcher & Mary Smith that were married in Martin Co. IN. 6-6-1847. Evidently Mary Smith Witcher died before 2-28-1861, because that is when Edgar Witcher married Eliza Jane Perry. According to the 1860 census of Columbia Twp. Feriba and her brother & sister are living with Josephus & Mary A. Smith. 1860 census - Columbia Twp. Martin Co. IN # 1211 Josephus Smith, 36, NC Mary A. 27, IN Feraba Witcher, 6, IN Rufus Witcher, 10, IN Isabelle Witcher, 9, IN. 1850 census - Perry Twp. Martin Co. IN. #270 Edgar Witcher, 26, IN Mary, 22, IN Rufus, 2, IN Sarah Ann, 10 months, IN. Edgar Witcher is buried in Reilly Cemetery with his 2nd. wife. Edgar Witcher, 1824 - 1878 Eliza J. Witcher, 1838 - 1919. Edgar Witcher served in Co. K, 143rd. Regt. Ind. Vol. INF. Civil War. Eliza Jane Perry Witcher drew a Civil War Pension for herself anf her three children by Edgar Witcher. Her children were: Arthur Witcher, b. 23 June 1868, Josephine Witcher, b. 2 Mar 1872 and Edgar Witcher, b. 2 Mar 1874. Brice Witcher may be the father of Edgar Witcher. He is the only Witcher in Martin Co., per 1830 census. I found someplace on the computer where a Brice Witcher was b. 1790 in Grainger Co. TN. It said he was son of John Witcher, 1742 - 1813. He died in Grainger Co. TN Hope some of this helps you.
