Thanks rchambers for that information - I will have to do some research. There are many
people with the same name - so it gets very confusing.
I.E. Chambers married Peter Presse (pressey) on July 5, 1857.
On the 1860 Census - William H. Pressey is born. I. E. is listed as Indian - though this
might be India or Indiana.
By 1870 Peter has remarried a Elizabeth Mitchell a widow - on the census is listed
Malissey (this maybe my Sarah Ann Pressey) an Ella (who later marries her stepbrother who
is Elisabeth Mitchells son) and Nancy (who is still living with them in 1880. I can find
no trace of Malissey - who might be Sarah Ann Pressey - who married William H. Lamb in
1878. In fact I can't find Sarah Ann Pressey on any census records at all.
I have never been able to find any death records on I. E. Chambers either.
I do know most records in Washington, Indiana (Daviess County) were lost in a fire.
