Is this your family? I lose him after 1860 but don't have the 2 children you named.
10/12/1850 Jackson Twp, Clay Co, IN. Daniel Refet was a 35 year old farmer with real
estate valued at $400. In the family were wife Magdaleney, 29, Evaline, 12, John, 10,
George, 7, William, 5, Alfred, 3, and Barbra, 5 months. Magdalene's parents were
still in the same township.
7/16/1860 Still there, PO Brazil. Daniel, 45, was still farming and had increased his
property to $1000/200. Magdalene was 41, children in the house were John, 20, George, 16,
and William, 14. Thomas Slaughter, 34, was counted there as a laborer along with the two
older boys. Next door was most likely his brother Aaron Reffet, 50. Neighbors included
Alexander Refferr, 28, and Magdalene's brother George Ely, 21.
