On 12 April 1885, in Boone County, Jesse M. Emmert of Jamestown married Nancy A. Vanarsdel (book C-9, page 36). Nancy appeared as Jesse's wife in the Boone County censuses of 1900 and 1910 as "Nanna" and "Nannie". I found her before her marriage in Jackson Twp, Boone County, living in 1880 with her mother Louisa Vanarsdall and several younger sisters -- Lizzie, Alice, Etta, and Williametta. I can't find any of them in another census. I can't find an Indiana marriage for a woman named Louisa to a man named Vanarsdall (in any of several spellings), although I found a Louisa Vanarsdall licensed to marry Clayton T. Brown in 1866 in Johnson County -- not very likely! Montgomery County has such a lot of Vanarsdale researchers -- do any of you recognize Nancy or her mother? Do you know her father, or what became of the family of young girls after 1880? I'd appreciate any help -- Kathy

Hints I have been following -- her father's first initial was J; her mother's maiden name was L J Lowery. Nancy was born third daughter 13 Oct 1864. > From: kslynch62@hotmail.com > To: inmontgo@rootsweb.com > Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2008 03:31:21 +0000 > Subject: [InMontgo] Vanarsdel Emmert > > > On 12 April 1885, in Boone County, Jesse M.
