"101", this most likely doesn't help you, but I have a Susa nnah A. Martin
who married Stephen A. Smith on May 26, 1847, in Delaware County, IN. Their
farm too was in Union Township (Section 12).
I just checked the plat map and see that T. C. and W . H. Poor were
neighbors to the Smiths in 1874.
It appears that my Stephen & Susannah Smith had about 14 children.
It is believed that both Stephen & Susannah died in Union Township, but
there is no record of their deaths.
All I have is a October 12, 1871, document whereby the widow requested all
of Stephen's property (value under $500.00) after his death.
On March 11, 1878, a guardian was appointed for the children who still
lived at home, as Susannah was also deceased. Several were found on later
censuses in the households of heir older siblings.

Subject: [INDELAWA-L] MARTIN, POOR, JACOB surnames
Anna M. Poor in the 1880 Delaware Co, Union Twp census is 16 and
living
as a servant with the household of Robert and Amanda Martin, Union Twp
and their 3 children. Prior to that she was always listed as helping in
the house on her fathers farm, section 12 Union Twp. Her father had been
a neighboring farmer, but had died and the family lost the family farm in
Union Twp leaving a widow and 12 children, so I assume this daughter Anna
M. Poor had to 'find work to help the family out.' This is the last
record I have been able to find of Anna M. Poor. Does anyone from the
Martin family know if she perhaps moved somewhere with Robert and Amanda
Martin? Or what became of her? Also living as a hired hand for the
Martins is a N. Jacob, age 21 if anybody is looking for a JACOB surname.
