I've "rescued" an old photograph of Jesse Ames MULFORD which was taken at
the Stevens Studio in Logansport, Indiana. The photograph was likely taken
in the 1870's with Jesse appearing to be in his 40's at the time. Based on
limited research, I believe that Jesse Ames MULFORD was b. 9 Dec 1830 at
Watervliet Center, NY and married Martha Baxter WILSON 17 Jan 1856 at
Carthage, OH.
In 1880 the family was living in Logansport, IN and recorded in the census
there. Jesse was age 49, born in NY, a RR Engineer whose parents were also
born in NY. His wife, listed as Marthia was age 47, born in OH to parents
also born in OH. The couple had four daughters living with them at the
time, including, Luella age 23, Saddie age 20, Edith age 16, and Mollie age
12. The two oldest girls were born in KY and the two youngest in IN.
I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photograph can be
returned to its rightful place, with family. If you are a member of this
family, or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
