Message Board Post:
Records about early settlers from Steuben County, NY, imply that it was Henry Householder
Sr. who died in 1842 and it was Henry Householder Jr. who married Elizabeth Casterline in
Blackford County in 1845. Curiously, it appears that the first name of the wife of Henry
Sr. was Elizabeth too.
But it doesn't appear that the Elizabeth that was married to Henry Sr. is the
Elizabeth I'm looking for. The Elizabeth I'm looking for married William Bowman
in 1850, and her last name was Wood at the time. When she married Mr. Bowman there were
already had two kids at home named Wood. I believe she was previously married to Daniel
Wood, another fellow that moved to Blackford County from Steuben County, NY. Daniel was a
friend of Henry Sr., maybe because he was married to his sister. But there's always
the possibility that after Henry Sr. died this Elizabeth married Daniel Wood, and the kids
belonged to him, and then she had to keep them when he died too.
