Lee,
Thanks! You just filled in a major gap for me. I was almost certain that Lavinia Webb,
Ellen's mother, had remarried a Hatchet.
I do know where George and Ellen are buried. George also has a half brother, Charles W.
Shaw buried a few rows back from he and Ellen. The research I've done thus far
indicates that he was married to Mary Hatchet and also to Anne Higbee. I still haven't
sorted out all the information I recovered over the weekend so I'm not exactly sure of
timelines.
I have quite a bit of information on the Higbee's but not alot on Lavinia. What
I've found thus far is that Lavinia was born sometime after 1794 in Higbeetown,
Atlantic County, New Jersey. She married Edward Higbee on March 19, 1846 near Madison,
Jefferson County, Indiana. They had two children (that I know of) Anne b. 1851 and Ellen
Edward Higbee b. 9/26/1855.
Many thanks for your reply. If you would like me to pass on any more information about
Lavinia (or the Higbee's for that matter) as I find it out, just let me know!
Chris
