Hi, Thanks for the welcome Neal, I am Nancy Holland and live in
Montana, USA. I wouldn't know which line of the Carrier's I am
researching as I have only one name, that of
Sarah E. Carrier born Oct 1852 in ?,?,Ohio. She was married to
James W. Shield,born Oct 1855 in ?,?,Indiana.
I have the names of two of their children, first is
Sources: 1910 Census for Lafayette, Tippecanoe, Ohio
Harvey Shield born 1880 in ?,?,Indiana. He was married to
Mary
children
William 3yrs
Florence 1yr.
The second child of Sarah's is
Sources: 1910 Census, death certificate, letter from cemetery on
first name, her son's birth certificate
Carrie,Clara or Carolyn Shields ( I have found her name all three
ways) born 18 Jul 1881 in (my line) Lafayette,Tippecanoe, Indiana
died on 16 Sep 1909 of typhoid fever. She was married to
Theodore D. Woodruff, born 1876 in Lafayette, Tippecanoe, Indiana.
Their children included (ages at census of 1910)
Lillian Woodruff 11 yrs.
Frank " 10 yrs (My direct line)
Helen " 8 yrs.
Ruth " 5 yrs.
Mary " 2 yrs.
These children were placed in a Children's Home after their mother
died and were found on the 1910 census for Tippecanoe, Indiana living
there.
Most of my information come from Census' for Indiana and Sarah's name
and info on Carrie's death certificate as that was filled out by her
husband, I am not sure how correct it might be. I don't know how she
got from Ohio as her son Harvey's entry on the census states her
birthplace to Indiana to meet James Shields. As you can see this is
just a beginning for me on this line. Would appreciate any help.
Nancy
