I'm interested in finding out if anyone has any information that may help
find these Boldon{various spellings} brothers. There was a Samuel Bolden
listed on the 1830-50-60 census in Tipton Co. Wildcat twp.....think there is
a possiblity that he is the brother to the 3 boys I'm interested in
finding.....
James b. ca1791 m. {1}Hannah Truax {2}Matilda Nutterfee.....they came from
Nelson Co.KY...settled in Owen Co.IN....Wayne & Harrison Twp.....early
1820's....James was a J.P.....he had purchased land there....donated land
there to start Old Little Mt. Baptist Church....they met in his home when the
Church was first starting....I can't find him after the 1850 Owen
Co.census.....Old family story says he moved up north in IN.....could it be
to Tipton Co.?? Was he still preforming duties as a J.P. at that time?? Or
did he die in Owen Co.?? There is NO will for him in Owen Co.
McKinney b. 22 Nov 1792 m. Mary Ann Murphy......they came from Nelson
Co.KY...settled in Owen Co.IN....living in Wayne & Harrison Twps.
there.....McKinney's name has been spelled McKenzie, McKinza etc....he was in
the was of 1812....he had a large family.....I have him on the 1830-40-50
census in Owen Co......nothing after that time period.....Did he die there or
move on with his brother James somewhere??
They had another brother John Baldwin b. 1797 MD.....m. Elizabeth
THOMAS....they to migrated to Owen Co. early 1820's.....lived there until
moving north to Putnam Co. by 1850, then on to Mont. Co.IN 1860-70.....then I
lose track of them too.....Can't find a death record on them or burial
record.....I believe that John probably died sometime between 1870-71....as
he didn't sign his grandaughters marriage record and he was her legal
guardian her Uncle did....this was 1871......they lived in Union
Twp...Crawfordsville P.O......did they die there?? What happened to these
Boldon/Baldwin brothers?? If anyone has any clues, please let me know....or
any ideas on somewhere else I should check.....all input is welcome.
Thanks so much,
