    1. [INTIPPEC] Brockus/ Dimmit families in White Co. IN
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Hi.2ADI/1697 Message Board Post: This could get confusing, so please bear with me! My GGGrandfather George Schriner/Schreiner was born in 1828 in Allegheny Co, PA. He was married abt. 1851 to a Litecia/ Leticia Dimmit/Dimit (?) who was born abt. 1828 in Allegheny, PA. They came to White Co., IN between 1854-1856. They had 4 children George, b. 1854 PA, Lavina, b. 1856 IN, Samuel, b. 1858 IN, John, 1860-61 IN. They are shown living in Jackson Twp., White Co. in the 1860 census. After 1860 Litecia disappears, and George is found remarried to a Nancy Brockus on Dec. 7, 1865 in White Co. They are shown in the 1870 Census living in Jackson Twp., White Co. with 2 children Sarah Brockus, b. 1856 and Elias W. Brockus, b. 1858. George's children were living with other families in White Co., Samuel was with the John York family, living next door to George and Nancy, and John was living with the Peter Carnahan family. I'm pretty sure this Nancy Brockus was married to an Elias Brockus. Elias died about 1859, as he does not appear in the 1860 Census with Nancy and the children. However, Nancy is living next door to a William Brockus. Is this Brockus family related to Sophia Dimmit and John Brockus? If so, does anyone have any information on a Litecia/ Leticia Dimmit marrying a Schriner/ Schreiner? Any help would be helpful, as you can clearly see...I'm confused by this great big mess! Thank you in advance...and feel free to contact me personally at [email protected]
