However, simply based upon the census records, this person, Annie NELSON , appears to have been born in North Carolina vs. IN and she would have married a BARTON first and would have married James LOWE afterwards. This 1870 figure being true would mean that James LOWE also was married prior around 1860 or before. I am saying that based upon the fact that Anna appears to be in the home of her parents in 1860 and is 15 years of age and on the 1870 census there is a 9 year old dau., Mary, b. KY in their Knox Co. household. Originally I would have thought it was the child of Anna and James but then what would we do with Mary BARTON, age 17, a stepdau.on the 1880 Knox Co. Now I am thinking that the Mary, age 9 on the 1870 was actually Mary BARTON and the child of Anny and not James. 1860 Knox Co. Dwelling 70 NELSON, Abner, 67, b. NC . .Elinner, 45, b.

NC I tend to think this is the correct Anna in the household of Abner and Elinner (prob. Eleanor) on the 1860 because when Franklin G. BARTON married Rachel NELSON on Jan 21, 1875, it is in the home of "Jas. LOE and the bondsman was Stephen LOVE" which is probably Stephen LOWE". Rachel would have been the younger sister of Anna NELSON. Oooop. . I just found James LOWE and Anna NELSON BARTON's marriage record: Knox Co.
