The Charles Jessup that I know of was born in February of 1896 in Indiana. It is said that
his Father was Silas Jessup and his Mother's name was Sarah.
I received his Social Security Papers and it shows his Mothers name as Sarah Fiscus and
his Fathers name as Silas Jessup. We (my Mom and I) know his step-brothers and sisters and
we have the names. But Silas was married to Elizabeth Smith at the time of my
Grandfather's birth.
My Mom remembers a picture of my Grandfather when he was a baby and it shows Sarah being
married. We don't know if Fiscus was her maiden or married name.
The only record I can find on a Sarah Fiscus being married in 1986 was to a Lewis Hinds.
(August of 1896) I cannot find any marriage records of a Sarah to a Fiscus within that
time frame.
Feel like I am looking for a needle in a haystack on this and have been searching for
years for anything.
I do know that Sarah died in the 1950's in Indiana.
I also, have no idea if my Grandfather was married a first time and my Grandmother was
second. They were older when they were married. Charles Jessup joined the CC Corps and
meet my Grandmother in PA.
