Hi
I am seeking information on Jane McCLAIN or McLANE. She was born
about 1819 in Wayne Co. IN. I believe she may have been the daughter of
Archibald McCLAIN and Rhoda McCLAIN nee DEWEY. On 13 Jun 1838 she
married David LYKINS (the book spells it LYKINGS and her name was
spelled McLANE) and they moved into Randolph Co. IN sometime before
1850. By 1860 they were in Delaware Co. IN. David died there in 1883
and according to his obit Jane was still alive. I found her again in
1893 (city directory of Muncie living with her son (she is listed as
Mrs. Jane LYKINS living on s South Ohmer ave, 1 w Ash)with her son
Andrew, but I then loose all track of her. I am unable to find any trace
of her in the 1900 census.
David is supposed to be buried at the Tomlinson Cemetery but I have
no idea where Jane is buried.
ANY help with this would be greatly appreciated.
