Message Board Post:
I was in Salt Lake a few weeks ago, and got a deed for the heirs of Benjamin Carmin - from
an 1847 deedbook in Clark County - that indicates that Benjamin's daughter Sarah was
the "widow of Jeremiah Priest". It indicates she was alive in the 1840's,
and the Jeremiah she married had died. At the same time Jeremiah and Hannah Helvie Priest
were in Delaware County IN. I believe they are two different Jeremiah's and the best
conclusion is that the one who married Hannah Helvie was the son of Elijah - the only
other son of Jeremiah old enough to have a son in 1814 (Obediah Priest had a different son
named Jeremiah, and William Priest was too young). Three of Elijah's four other
children - and Elijah - went to Delaware County IN about the same time, so it fits. Any
feedback?
