Hi Beverlee, The Thomas Moorman who was in Clinton County in 1850 with wife Synthia (mispelled as Cynthia) and children Martha, Margaret, Mary, Peter and Jacob and the Thomas Moorman of Allen County, who died in the Civil War in 1863 are one and the same. Thomas and Synthia were my ggg grandparents. Thomas was born in 1809 in Adams County Ohio, married Synthia in Fayette county in 1832. They were in Fayette County in 1840 and in Clinton County in 1850. In the early 1850s, they moved to Allen County and lived in both Allen County and in Van Wert County. Daughter Mary, my gg grandmother, married Emanuel Landis in Allen County in 1852. Synthia died in 1858 and in 1859, Thomas remarried to a widow named Catherine Norbeck. Thomas did not die until 1863, so was in either Allen County or in Van Wert County in 1860 but I have not been able to locate him. I have his military and widow's pension records and according to this info, youngest child, Amanda, was placed into the guardianship of a William P.Bowers in 1863. This should indicate that Amanda was a resident of Van Wert County in 1863 as the guardianship was granted by the Van Wert County Common Pleas Court. In 1860, the only members of this Moorman household were likely to have been Thomas, Catherine, Jacob, Amanda, and possibly, Catherine's son, Harry Norbeck. Thanks for taking the time to look. Possibly, they were all missed by the enumerator in 1860. Karen Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations. (Deuteronomy 32:7)
