Orange County Indiana, actual date of marriage unknown, but guessing it was sometime
between 1837 and 1842.
They had several children together:
1st child Lyman born abt 1843
William
James
Julie
J - male (died young)
JK female (died young)
Perlina
Elizabeth
George and probably more......
There is also Angelina, born about 1836, and who is on the census reports with the last
name of Caddell, but it is HIGHLY PROBABLE she is really Angelina COSBY born either out of
wedlock or from a first marriage.
Is there anyone out there who is related to this family?
The name Kearby (Kirby) is coming up on the 1860 census with Mary Cadell..... John Kearby
age 85 born in Virginia.
Angelina Cosby married William Purkhiser in Orange County in 1855.
The Caddell family lived "right around the corner" from the Ransom Cosby family,
and next door to the Abigail (Sinclair) Belcher and Benjamin and Sarah (Sinclair) Carroll
families. The coincidence is just too strong.
