Juliaett Goodale wife of Henry Letcher d dec 21 1851 ae 33y 11m 23d    Powers Cem daughter of Joseph Goodale and sister of Gera l Goodale. Gera l Goodale's wife is Henry Letcher sister Louisa Letcher. They are related to Polly Garfield Letcher m2 Horatis N Clark. Polly is the aunt to President James Garfield. Gera and Lousia worked on the evening star canal boat with her brother Amos Letcher as captain. James A Garfield worked on this canal boat with his cousins Amos Louisa and her husband Gera Goodale. I believed this Letcher family was a part of the Metz Church and ran several businesses in and around Metz Ind. Amos Letcher taught school for a short time in Steuben Co.

Louisa Letcher Goodale raised several children and lived and died in Steuben Co, Ind. I have several vols of research I have done on this family-Goodales.

Juliaett Goodale- m2 Jerusha Clark -Letcher - Teats    --Hannah m Lyman Hardy Holcomb , Harriet Letcher m- Benjamin Hastings Fisher owner of the evening star canal boat that Amos was captain of and Louisa Letcher and Gera l Goodale worked on and then James Abram Garfield worked on at the young age 15.-- William Letcher brother to Amos Letcher both lived in William Co and died. Amos died insane.

William Henry Letcher d jan 2 1855 ae 3m 16d son of Henry Letcher and second wife Jerusha Clark Letcher. Buried Powers Cem. Someone said their was a sickness going around the area in 1855 for both Henry and his son William died. Jerusha remarried a William Teats.

Polly Garfield Letcher married a second time to A . H. Clark. Her son Henry Letcher also married a second time to Jerusha Clark. Were these Clarks related and can someone give any information if connected?

Can anyone in Steuben Co help me with the Letchers? Is anyone doing the Letchers? These families crossed over into Ohio Williams Co and back again.

My Great Grand Aunt Myrtle (SALANDER) Railing kept detailed genealogy notes. In them she stated the following:
"Great great grandfather FOURSHT, father of Mary FOURSHT, lived with his daughter and her husband Christian Daniel SALANDER. He was over one
hundred years of age when he died on January 2, 1859. His wife was younger and died on Nov. 25, 1860 at about 84 years of age. They are
buried at Hamilton Indiana. (Very Northeastern Indiana)"

Catherine FOURSHT is found living with Christian Daniel and Mary "Sallander" in the 1860 Census, in Smithfield Twp, Dekalb Co., Indiana,
at the age of 84. This is the same year that she died, and the only census, anywhere, in which I have found the FOURSHT name.

I am looking for information on the family of Charles Teegardin and Lucy Jane RITTER. They were married in Steuben Co. Aug 28, 1897 and had one son, Carl Teegardin, born Nov. 1898 (according to 1900 census). By the 1900 census Lucy Jane is listed as divorced and living home with her parents, along with infant, Carl. I am related through the RITTER family and can find no trace of Lucy or Carl after 1900 census in the indexes. Did she go on to remarry? What happened to Carl? Lucy was born Jan 1879 in Steuben Co. to Henry and Minerva (Pruden) RITTER.
