Hi,
I am new to this list. I'm researching my McNabb ancestors.
I'm looking for information on Robert and Prudence McNabb. I know they
were in both the 1860 and 1870 census. I have been able to keep track of
Prudence, but Robert is a mystery. He just seems to have disappeared
between 1870 and 1880. In 1860 and 1870 they were in Cedar Creek Twp.
In 1880 Prudence is in DeKalb County, with no mention of Robert. I
think he may have died in DeKalb County, and been buried in Allen
County, but I have no proof. I cannot find a death record or obituary
for him in DeKalb. He was a blacksmith, as was his son William C.
McNabb. My guess is that he died about 1873-1875.
Does anyone have any access to Allen county records that could check for
me? I live to far away to get to Fort Wayne to check for myself. Or can
anyone tell me if there are any online records I might check?
I'm sorry this was so long, thanks for any help you may be able to give.
Yours in Christ,
Debbie
