    3. WELCOME to all the new members! I¹m trying to find more information on Peter BOUGHNER, born about 1818 in Kentucky. He married Sarah LINDLEY or GRINDLEY (born in PA ~1822), and three of their children were born in Ohio. My great-great-grandfather was Charles Aciel BOUGHNER (b. 1859, Covington, Fountain Cty., IN), and Peter¹s last-born as far as I know. I have located the family on the 1860 and 1870 Indiana census, and have Charles A. in 1880, and 1900 censuses. I was unable to find Peter in the 1880 census, and suspect he died between 1870 and 1880. I need to find out more information about where he married Sarah and when, and determine his parents. I have next to nothing on Sarah, so she will probably have to wait awhile. I am looking for William Henry WHIPPLE (b. in New York ~1850 and his parents. On the 1880 census in Greenfield, Saratoga, NY, he is living in the household of his in-laws, Mils and Sarah OLDS, with his wife Ella and their daughter Bertha. On that census, he is recorded as ³Henry.² I have been unable to locate him before 1880, or his parents. My most wanted is still my mother¹s birth father, Edward Jacques KELLY, probably born about 1918. He married my grandmother Wilma SHUNK in Indiana or Illinois (probably either Indianapolis, IN or Villa Grove, IL) about 1942. Wilma left him, and eventually divorced him. She remarried, and her second husband Everett OFFUTT adopted my mother when she was about 3 (~1946). KELLY¹s mother was Ruth WIGHT, and she was also married twice. Edward KELLY¹s step-father was Jonathan HAGGERTY, and he had two sisters, Ruth and Mickey. Because there are so many Edward J. KELLYs, I have not found him on any census. It¹s possible that when my grandmother refused to reconcile with him, that he moved to California to work in the then-new field of plastics. Mom believes that he was an engineer of some sort, possibly chemical. Wendy Boughner Whipple, in IL www.DianasLegacy.net -- One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. -- William Shakespeare
