1900-[died of Genealogical Debility of many years Father-John
Mother-unknown
note states age 46 but according to the 1880 census he was
only 8 years old-this would have made him about 28] The note in brackets was written by Kenny Barber one of the people
who transcribed this Cemetery in 1973. I did a litte search and David R. Penn
was most likely the one he mentions from the 1880 census, he is listed in that
census with Epilepsy parents are shown as John & Lavena with a little more
work I found Lavena's maiden name was McCalfry (many spellings) as in the 1900
census her mother Mary McCalfry listed in the home as mother in law. I got
totally sidetracked following this family and found John who was born in 1835/38
was from Kentucky and Mary from Ohio. He was probably married before as some of
the children in the home were born in Canada before he and Mary were
married. I am sure there is a fascinating story here. It is possible he escaped
Kentucky and traveled to Canada some more children were born in Ohio so after
the war he might have come back to the States and went from Ohio where he met
the second wife then moved to Indiana where most six of their children showing
in census records were born. I tracked some of the grandchildren as far as
Michigan where they are listed as of American Indian heritage in the census.
Is anyone out there researching this family?
