Christopher Staley was born about 1825 in Pennsylvania. He and Elizabeth Long married 15
Mar 1848 in Bartholmew Co., IN. They moved to Owen County around 1855, and stayed in to
Layfayette Twp., Owen Co., IN after the census was taken. They were living in the Vandalia
area up until 1870, when Christopher is missing. I suppose he died during the previous 2
years, and also not in the previous year or his death would have been recorded for
Mortality Schedules which Began July 1, 1849. Their children were John b 1849, Sarah Jane
Staley Orman in 1850, Susanna Staley Nyswinger White, David Albert, James R., Eliza E.,
Willaim Nelson, and Nancy Elizabeth b 1868 in Clay Co., IN. Elizabeth married William Cole
later and John Beley before her death in 1910.
I believe that Joseph Staley and Susanna Staley (son and mother) who were living in
Carroll Co., OH in 1850 are connected to him. I hope to find someone who is also searching
for information about Christopher and Elizabeth will contact me.
