I have checked the Portrait and Biographical Record of Delaware County, Indiana, 1894. I
show Anthony's and McCulloch's but none with the names you're listing. I read
them all thoroughly. Wish I could be more help. Perhaps checking with the Local History
and Genealogy Library here in Muncie would produce some results. They are in the throes
of moving to another building so it could take awhile for results.

This is a friendly group, all eager to connect and/or help but if they don't have
anything for you, they don't usually respond. It helps to maintain the list's
integrity.
Good luck,

Subject: [INDELAWA] Clinton, Lydia, Joseph, and Margaret Anthony
Gina and List Members,
I apologize for being snippy. Perhaps my post didn't go through. I tried
several different sources with my query, not just this list, but didn't
receive one single reply from any of them. I could only conclude that people
from Indiana aren't very friendly nor helpful. ;-)
I have helped others so many times and received much help from other
researchers over the years. Many times they have provided just the exact little
bit of information that I needed and was able to take off again myself
from there. It just seemed odd to me that NOBODY had ANYTHING they could
share that might help. That has not been my experience in the past. I will
try again. If someone had access to a resource that could just provide a
marriage name I would be able to go on from there. I've exhausted every other
source available to me and have spent MUCH time trying and trying and
trying to find this record. I simply cannot go to Indiana right now. I don't
know what else to do.
Here is my original query:
I am seeking information specifically on Margaret Anthony, born in 1852,
in Delaware County, Indiana. Her parents were Clinton Anthony and Lydia
Bentley. His parents were Joseph Anthony and Margaret McCulloch.
I have found Clinton and Lydia in the 1850 census. They both seem to
disappear after that, though I know that Clinton lives into the 1880's. I find
two children of theirs living with his parents in 1860. Their names are
Joseph and Margaret (the one I am looking for.) In the 1870 census Joseph is
still living with his grandparents but Margaret is gone. I can't find her
anywhere and I have spent a very long time searching. She would be about 19
years old so most likely has married and I just do not know her new surname.
Does anyone have this family in their tree or access to any records that
might help, specifically a marriage record somewhere around 1870, give or
take a few years, for Margaret Elizabeth Anthony?
I would very much appreciate some help.
Thank you.
Janet
