I have been to 3 cemeteries in New Columbus, IN looking for his stone, without locating it. ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Janni Sales <pasenyadefenya@yahoo.com> To: williams@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, November 6, 2007 10:35:19 PM Subject: Re: [WILLIAMS] LISTOWNER POST - Thanksgiving Dinner I would invite Dr. John Allen WILLIAMS and ask him, during the course of the meal, who his first wife was. Was her name Catherine by any chance or is that a mistake on one of his children's birth certificates? I would ask him who the parents were of his wife Sarah Emmaline FORD. I would also ask him where he and his wives are buried. I have been to 3 cemeteries in the town of Kirkland, IN and have not found them buried there. What I know about him: Dr. John Allen WILLIAMS b. 1827 Stony Creek Tp., Madison Co., IN, md 1848 Hamilton Co., IN (1)Sarah Emmaline/Evaline? FORD b 1825/6 Madison Co., IN or MD. He married (as #2 or 3) Virginia (FULTON) widow of Henry FODGE/FUDGE. He was injured in McCowan Station, IN by a pulley which cut him around the waist in a terrible way. They transported him to his parent's home in Kirklin, Clinton Co., IN for some reason, where he later died. No one seems to know where he is buried. Children of John Allen and Sarah Emmaline: Sarah b 1850 md Henry KEESLING James Monroe "Jim Roe" b 1852 md (1) Matilda TAYLOR (2) Emma Aletha. (Order may be reversed.) William b 1854 md Mary GRAHAM Isaac Hull b 1856 Fishersburg, IN md Rachel Priscilla HUTCHINGS John Luther (Uncle Lute) b 1858 md Lucinda Jane CLEVENGER Jasper 1861 (or may have been twin of John Luther?) (or he may be William Jasper b 1854?) *Laura Myrtle b 1862 md John Ferdinand JACKSON (strangely, her mother's name is given as Catherine FORD on death certificate?) Leroy "Roy" md (1) Millie ? ; he left her, (2) Emma ? (Down to John Luther, all full sisters and brothers, app. Leroy is mentioned as "full brother of John Luther, also.) Jasper and Laura Myrtle are the ones we're unsure of their mother's name at this point.) Children Virginia had by Henry FODGE: Emily Jane b 1858 John Henry b 1860 Jeannette b 1861/2 Children of John Allen WILLIAMS and 2nd wife Virgina: Ella b 1865 md Alonzo FUSON Oliver Perry b 1868 md Lacey HINES Adam Fulton b 1870 md Anna Belle KIGER Allen Wesley b 1870 (twins) md Sadie WEST Harley Jackson "Jack" b 1873 md Belle OWENS George Washing b 1875 posthumously, md (1) Ella Nora CARY (2) Ann WATT All of the above children born in McCowan Station, Delaware Co., IN There is actually a picture of all these children together at the funeral of their big sister Sarah, we think, since they app. became "one big happy family" and many of them were raised by Virginia alone... She must have been quite a woman! Happy Thanksgiving season, everyone!
