Not related, but found some info that may help with Mary J. Milroy's parentage.
1870 Sugar Creek Twp., Clinton Co., Indiana
Enumeration Date: July 30, 1870
Page: 437
Line: 12
Dwelling/Family: 168/168
Melroy, Joseph - age 80, wagonmaker, born in PA
" Elizabeth - age 69, keeping house, born in PA
" Mary - age 9, born in IN
If this is your Mary Milroy, it appears she may be orphaned and living with who may
possibly be her grandparents.
In the 1900 census Mary states her father was born in OH and her mother was born in IN.
Going back through the census I found a John Melroy (b: 1838, OH) with wife Hester (b:
1838, IN) and daughter Sarah Frances (b: 1859, IN)list in the 1860 Marion Twp., Boone
Co., IN census. Boone County is located south of Clinton County.
Living in the household before John Melroy's is an Elizabeth Melroy (b: 1814, OH) and
in the household before Elizabeth's is a Caroline Melroy (b: 1832, IN) working as a
housekeeper. This Caroline could be John's sister and Elizabeth could be John &
Caroline's mother.
Going back to 1850, I found a John Melroy in Sheffield Twp., Tippecanoe Co., IN with his
parents and siblings. They consisted of Joseph (age 56, NY), Elizabeth (age 50, PA),
Joseph (age 17, OH), Jacob (age 15, OH), John (age 14, OH), Sarah McFarland (age 21, OH)
& Clysta McFarland (age 3, IN).
This appears to be the same Joseph & Elizabeth Melroy listed in 1870 Clinton Co., IN
census with Mary J. Melroy. In 1860 Joseph & Elizabeth have move to Kirklin, Clinton
Co., IN and listed in the household is a "Clarrisa A. Melroy" who may possibly
be the Clysta McFarland in the 1850 census.

In 1880 Daniel & Mary Jordan are living in Shelby Co., IN

Terre Haute, Vigo Co., IN. By 1920 Daniel is widowed and living in Johnson Twp., Knox
Co., IN with his sister Harriet Warren.
