Searching for more information on THOMAS B. ASHBAUGH, who was the second husband of my great-grandmother Annie E. Kendall Newton Ashbaugh Criss. Annie married Thomas Ashbaugh in Putnam county on Jan. 4, 1872, and a daughter was born, Iona, sometime around 1873. Iona Ashbaugh is listed as 7 years old in the 1880 census of Clay County, where she was living with Annie and her third husband, John C. Criss. Did Annie and Thomas' marriage end with his death or a divorce? Searching for information on HANNAH TROTH CRISS. Hannah, born 1846 in Owen County, was the first wife of John C. Criss. I cannot find out what happened to Hannah. Her third child with John C. Criss was born in June of 1872, and by Dec. 3, 1874, he married Annie E. Kendall Newton Ashbaugh. I cannot find any evidence of Hannah's death or divorce in Clay County. I have looked at the Clay County courthouse at civil records that would have included a divorce if there had been one. I have looked at the cemetery indexes, and no Hannah Criss shows up. I have tried the county where she was from also, for death records. I am wondering if they divorced, possibly in Putnam County, since he married Annie there. Was there a requirement at that time that you live in the county in which you obtained a divorce? I wonder if Hannah remarried, but I have had no luck on that either. Her son (and John's) married in Putnam county too, so it seems as if the family might have been in Putnam county at some point, although John C. Criss was considered a long-time resident of Brazil. Searching for information on Annie E. Kendall's first marriage to THOMAS J. NEWTON, in Putnam county on May 22, 1867. Annie would have recently turned 17 years old when this marriage occurred. Did this marriage end in divorce or did Thomas J. Newton die? Laura Mitchell Terre Haute, Indiana
