Ellen Dwiggins, dau. of Daniel (1801) and Sarah Knotts(1801) married David Chafin in
Madison County Indiana sometime between 1860 and 1865. Prior to the marriage she had a
son, James Willard Dwiggins born 9 Jul 1860 near Frankton, Indiana in Pipe Creek Twp.
David and Ellen had three children, Mace b 1865, John W. b 1866, and Margaret b 1875. The
1880 census displays David as a widower. I am trying to find more information about Ellen,
David, the children and the mystery of James Willard Dwiggns' father rumored to be a
Wilborn or Welborn. To further complicate matters Solomon Dwiggins of Pipe Creek Twp also
had a daughter named Ellen born about the same time. This is a mystery I have worked on
for nearly ten years and would appreciate any information.
