Thanks for the reply to my query regarding James Crumley. I thought after I had sent it that I neglected to mention how old James would have been in 1860, but 43 is spot on. I had found his obituary when I was in Ohio this past summer, but for some reason it did not register with me until just the other night that it said he was survived by a wife and children. I read that and thought "his wife was dead for ten years by then..." It would seem that, since at least two of the children in the household are named Barnet(t) and not Crumley, Rebecca had been married previously as well and that Barnett was not her maiden name. Does the census happen to indicate whether the unnamed infant was male or female? That child must belong to the marriage of James and Rebecca. I think this may also solve a long standing mystery for me. There is a Rebecca Crumley buried at Cadiz Union Cemetery. I have never been able to place her because, according to the inscription in the cemetery book, she is recorded as the 'wife of John.' James did have a brother named John, but his first wife was named Eleanor and his widow was Julia. I have never looked for Rebecca's stone, but now I wonder if it was read correctly. The stone says she died June 30, 1870, aged 48y 4m 27d. Since John died in 1865 and was survived by Julia, he could not have had a wife named Rebecca. It is intriguing that James' wife was 38 in 1860 and this Rebecca was 48 in 1870. [I believe I may have just found the link...] I did a search on the Mormon site for a marriage for Sarah Barnett or Mary Barnett. A Mary F. Barnett married Samuel F. Marchbank in Tuscarawas County 28 May 1871. Sarah E. Barnett married John Gallaher [probably Gallagher] on 16 December 1865 in Harrison County. Interestingly, buried on the same plot as Rebecca are an Ella Gallagher (b. August 30, 1847 [which just happens to make her 13 in 1860 (though not by the June 2 date of the census page, but that seems to be an allowable margin for error)] d. April 16, 1908] and her husband John W. Gallagher (d. August 10, 1892, aged 47y 8m 26d) as well as their son, Jesse B. Gallagher (1870-1935). Also buried on that same plot is Fannie Marchbank (1849 - 1920). The fact that Sarah E. Barnett was in the household of James and Rebecca in 1860, married a John Gallagher and is buried on the same plot as Rebecca Crumley would seem to be pretty strong evidence that Rebecca was indeed the widow of James. I am not sure who Fannie Marchbank was, but the coincidence of names seems to cement the deal. Perhaps Fannie was Mary F. The age is nearly right. Twelve in 1860 or a birth date of 1849 is within the usual range of accuracy for a census of that era..... I checked the marriages in Hanna's 'Historical Collections.' There are none listed between a Barnett and a woman named Rebecca, but there are two between a Barrett and a Rebecca. It's close, but not quite a match..... One took place in 1850, too late for the parents of Sarah and Mary, but the other was 18 December 1845 - a possibility (Thomas B. Barrett and Rebecca Conwell). I will have to check the marriage register the next time I get out to Ohio to see if 'Barrett' could possibly have been 'Barnett.' Now, if I could prove that the Thomas Barnett who died 9 September 1849 and is buried at Old Cadiz was the same person who married Rebecca Conwell..... Something else to look for on my next trip.
