When did courts stop appointing guardianships for children whose father had died? BUT mother was still living? We're looking specifically at a timeframe for 1830-1840.

Here's more on the KEIMs that lived in Wabash Co, IN. Perhaps this will help someone searching in that area. ________________ LUTHERAN CHURCH About 1853, religious work was begun by the Lutherans in the vicinity of Stockdale. Rev. Smith preached at the house of Benjamin Keim in Miami county. For some two years the meetings were held in those places of assembly which are always at hand where civilized people dwell, viz., houses and barns, not to speak of the open woods. In 1855, the meeting house was erected at the town of Stockdale, a neat and comfortable frame building, which is still standing and in good repair. Some of the members of the society have been Samuel Rancke, Benjamin Keim, David Keim, George Keim, Samuel Keim, William Keim, Benniwell Dorck, Bluebaker and their families and others. >From pg. 416, "History of Wabash County" [Indiana], T. B. Helm - author and editor, publ. 1884. ________________ Could "Benniwell Dorck" really be "Benniwell Derck" or "Benneville Derck?"? And, for anyone that wonders WHERE Stockdale is located, it appears to have been about 1 mi. due west of Roann, on the Wabash/Miami county line, near the Eel River. Don't know if the place is still in existence or not! One might check the 1895 U.S. Atlas site to see if it tells more about the place. 1895 U.S. Atlas site http://www.livgenmi.com/1895

We've had some discussion on the John Keim from Chester Co, PA who is said to have died abt. 1786 in Chester Co, PA, leaving wife, Margaret. There is an ancestral file on the LDS website listing the names of their children, of course we KNOW everything we find can't be taken as fact! Worth checking out though if you think you might descend from the Chester Co branch! See: http://www.familysearch.com/Eng/Search/af/family_group_record.asp?familyid=9258247

Add'l info was sent for a Joseph KIMES that was on the 1880 census in Prussia Twp, Adair Co, IA: dwelling # 81 KIMES, Joseph C. 28 Farmer Ind. Mary F. 29 Wife NY Minnie 7 daughter IA Harry E. 5 son IA Nettie I. 3 daughter IA Harvey? 8/12 son IA This must certainly be the family of Joseph and Mary F. (Schenck) KIMES, who married in Adair Co, IA on 17 June 1871. Their daughter Nettie Irene married George Ashley Pruitt. A little add'l info on Nettie and George may be found on James Robert Hewitt Jr.'s website at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/h/e/w/James-R-Hewitt-jr/ Joseph C. Kimes MAY be the son of the Joseph Kimes from yesterday's email; the one b. 1818 that married Jane Davis and then Emeline Harrington! Cindy Kimes

The census info shows a span of ten years where no children were born. I'm wondering if Benneville was possibly married before? Of course, if he was Angeline's father, he would have been just 15 yrs. old when she was born! Seems more likely she was his sister!!!!!

A visit with S. B. Rancke "When father came to Wabash county, Ind., there was a large company of eight wagons and five families, containing in all thirty-six passengers." The eight vehicles in which the company traveled from Pennsylvania were one three-horse wagon, six two-horse wagons, and a one-horse wagon. The five families were these: Samuel Rancke, thirteen; Benjamin Keim, five; Jacob Heilman, five; Samuel Heilman, four; Jacob Rantz, six. There were also three single men - Constantine Schuler (stayed), Ellis Hartley (went back), George Schuler (went back); thirty-six in all, eight men, five women, twenty-three children, some of whom, however, were nearly or quite grown). This was indeed a caravan for a large part of the journey was through a region more or less settled. Several days toward the last were through a region mostly wilderness, and in Wabash County in particular the roads even there were little better than trails, and the ways through the forest were mostly 'blazes'!" When they arrived, they found a log cabin eighteen feet square, with hickory bark for loft-boards and oak clapboards for the roof. In that cabin, 13x14x5, of that company moved at once, staying there, moreover, for three or four weeks. That journey of four weeks and four days was no doubt an eventful time. Mr. R. say: "We crossed the Wabash at La Gro" (editor's note - at a ford, probably, or by ferry). "The canal had been put in running order. We came down the river road to Wabash. My brother went into Col. Hanna's store, the only one there, and coming out, exclaimed: I wish I could borrow a cent, I would go in and buy that store out." Mr. R. and some of the men had to go the next week to Logansport, thirty miles, after provisions. Three wagons went the trip and got safely back. >From "History of Wabash County" [Indiana] author and editor - T. B. Helm, 1884. Pg. 431. ____________________ Near as I can determine, the above Benjamin Keim must be: Descendants of Benjamin Keim 1 Benjamin Keim b: 20 December 1804 Cumberland Co, PA d: 11 November 1883 Tustin, Orange Co, CA .. +Mary Dieffenbacher b: 1812 PA d: 1880 ... 2 Levi KEIM b: 1832 PA ... 2 Samuel Keim b: 1834 PA ... 2 Benjamin F.

Several months ago I ran across several KIMESes that married in Adair Co, IA. The given names of these folks were especially interesting..... one of the ancestors from Kosciusko Co, IN had children by these names. In an attempt to follow up on this, I requested some lookups from the Adair Co. genealogical society. Following is part of what was rec'd yesterday: >From the Washington Twp, Adair Co, IA 1870 census: dwelling # 63 KIMES, Uriah 50 Farmer Penn Nancy 48 Keeping House Ohio Uriah Jr. 14 at home Iowa Nathaniel 14 at home Iowa Charles 8 at home Iowa dwelling # 64 KIMES, A?dley 25 work on farm Ohio Marriott 18 Keeping House Ill These folks connect to this family: 1 Uriah Kimes b: 1820 PA .. +Nancy Cross b: 1822 OH m: 1840 Mercer Co, OH ... 2 Joseph Kimes b: 1841 OH d: 04 September 1855 ... 2 Andrew Kimes b: 1844 OH ....... +Marietta // b: 1852 IL ... 2 Mary Kimes b: 1846 IA ... 2 Uriah Kimes, Jr. b: 1856 IA ... 2 Nathaniel Kimes b: 1856 IA and we can add Charles, b. 1862 IA Andrew and Marietta above would seem to be the couple living in dwelling # 64. Can't figure how Andrew became A?dley. (Wonder what the census taker thought he heard!) Cindy
