Pam, I may be confused some. I found Huldah Dibble she married Clark Dibble, so maybe there are two Huldah's, if not maybe she remarried, this one I will have to straighten out for peace of mind.Am getting off here, will check back in morning.. ****************************************************************************** ******************** Eileen, That's really weird, because I was thinking about the same thing. What part of town did you find them in? Possibility is that DIBBLE is not her maiden name and she married a DIBBLE in New York and had the first child, Jefferson there, came to Michigan and had Joel. Then something like death or divorce happened and she later married Jeremiah B. AUSTIN and had Olive and my 3rd great grandmother - Lydia. Sounds good anyways. lol But on the other hand the first two children last name would not be AUSTIN... :( bummer, I thought I was on a roll.......unless their last name was just assumed by the census taker as being the same or Jeremiah adopted them.. Is there a Sherlock Holmes for hire?? I started with one my grandmother. Then went to my great grandmother. Then my g g grandmother. Finally my g g g grandmother the one I was searching for, Lydia who married a Peter JONES. I didn't know her last name at the time but found out it may be AUSTIN. According to the Census the date of birth match & says her mother was born in New York on one Census and on another it says Michigan. But if I could find out that she married someone named CHAPLE after JONES died then after CHAPLE died married a William BROWN I know I have the right Lydia. I would not have found out Lydia's last name without the help of Jack and Marianne listed below and a lot of other names too. Jack & Marianne Dibean - Lansing Michigan Marriage Index Links http://www.mifamilyhistory.org/dibeanindex/dibean_county.htm. Give them a try, they are great! I didn't even have to ask about some and they responded. That was great! Plus I don't want to forget all of the other kind people who have came to my rescue on my searches. Genealogy can be very rewarding with the help of others. Ok back to the issue: I put Lydia AUSTIN name in familysearch.com and found her parents were Huldah DIBBLE and Jeremiah AUSTIN. They married on 31 Dec 1843 in Fentonville, Genesee, Michigan. However I found Huldah AUSTIN age 40 in the 1850 Fenton Genesee Michigan Census taken 16th day of Sept listed with her children only & not with Jeremiah. Plus her oldest son Jefferson is listed as being 20 years old and born in New York. The second one is 13 and born in Michigan, then Olive 6 years old and finally my Lydia as 3 years old - I am assuming she is since the ages and years match. So question 1 is >> Was Huldah married before with the first two children? If she was married to Jeremiah B. AUSTIN in 1843 she had to of been because she would have only been married to Jeremiah B. AUSTIN 7 years. Question 2 >>>> What happened to Jeremiah B. AUSTIN? There is no place on this Census that list is she was divorced or widowed. Maybe I am getting the hang of this genealogy search. Still I am no detective, rattles my brain.. What do you think? God Bless Pam

Pam, boy, I am glad I am not the only one confused. wonder if by any chance Fredrick and Jeriamah Austin are the same man. Although you said Jerimah B. Austin, so guess that rules that out. It may be a few days that I can get back there, I work every night this week and with the 4th in the middle i may not get there. Fenton is just one town or should say now a city. At the southend there are some stories, police station and the museum, this is what they call Dibbleville. I can't remember all the details but the Dibbles i believe were settled in that area before Fenton became the name of the town-now does that make sense to you?? Our Fenton is growing leaps and bounds but the southend stays the same. Don't know how far away you are, but if you are close and want to come to the museum during the week early day , let me know as I can take you there. Huldah's maiden name was Bailey, then Dibble, Austin and then Olmsted. I will get back there as soon as I can and find more stuff..... A gr. grandddaughter of hers iIknow very well but she is older now and I don't see her much.. Did I see where you metion aan aunt Marjorie?? Bye for now, will be in touch -you too. We have to solve this. You could e-mail me if you want sadiejo@usol.com , the others probably think I have flipped.. Eileen
