NOTE: In order to find her you'll have to determine what her name was at the time of her death. Did she die a McELWEE or was she married and will be listed under that new last name? I do know she is not listed on the Fountain County, IN Main Cemetery Index.....so more than likely she married. I'd check for a marriage in Fountain County, IN. Then once you know her marital name check Fountain County, IN Death and Cemetery Indexes and from there try to get a date of death and obtain a copy of her obit and it may note surviving children or relatives and you may be able to track down living descendents that can help you fill in the blanks.
NOTE: If Phoebe married and had kids then you'll need to obtain the spouses information (Full Birthname - DOB/Place - DOD/Place - Where Buried - Spouses Parents Birthnames - Full Date of Marriage & Place. If they had children you will need the same information for them and their spouse/children and so on.

d. 7-20-1901 in Jackson Twp., Fountain County, IN.....Per Indiana Deaths, 1882-1920:
buried: ___________________(Cemetery Name) in _________________(City/County/State).....I found a Ben McELWEE on the Fountain County, IN Main Cemetery Index. I believe this to be him however the year of birth is different. If it is him then he is buried with his brother John Allen McELWEE...possibly his brother. ....Check Death Cert and/or obit.
Parents: Mathew or Matthew and Mary PARKS McElwee
Married: _______________________(Spouses Full Birthname) on _________________(Full Date) in _________________(City/County/State).....I didn't find a marriage in Indiana. However, I found a marriage for a Benjamin McELWEE to Ida SWAYNEE 7-28-1894 in Champaign County, IL. I'm leaning towards this being him because his brother David was living in Champaign County, IL also......Obtain a copy of his death certificate and/or obit and see if Ida is listed as his spouse.
If he was married to her then obtain copy of marriage license/application from Champaign County, IL as it may tell where he was born also.
NOTE: I believe the Richard in the 1870 and the Benjamin R. in the 1880 Census are one in the same. I believe the census taker inadvertenly wrote down Richards age as 3/12 vs. 3 yr and ?/12. I am more certain of this as the mother is noted in the 1900 census has having had 9 children born.

NOTE: I suggest you look closely at her parents and siblings obits and see if she is noted as preceeding them in death or surviving and note any marital name. It very well could be she died after the 1880 census and never married. I do know she is not listed on the Fountain County, IN Main Cemetery Index for being buried in Fountain County, IN under the last name of McElwee. Could be too that she moved away.

1900 Census = I found a Bloomer ALWARD in Jackson Twp., Fountain County, IN, however, he was married to a Agusta and had been for 3 years. I know Agusta is not your Margaret because if so then they'd of been married for 17 years. Also, where Agusta's parents were born is different also. My hunch is that either Margaret J. McELWEE Alward died before 1907, as Bloomer was remarried and had been married for 3 years., or Margaret and Bloomer divorced prior to 1907. NOTE: No children were noted with Bloomer. I cannot find a Margaret McELWEE or Margaret Alward.
1910 Census = This census confirms that Bloomer was previously married before he married Agusta, as it shows he'd been married 2 times. So again either Margaret died or they divorced. NOTE: No children were noted with Bloomer.I cannot find a Margaret McELWEE or Margaret Alward.
1920 Census = I cannot find a Margaret McELWEE or Margaret Alward.
1930 Census = I cannot find a Margaret McELWEE or Margaret Alward.

Children of Bloomer and Margaret J. McELWEE Alward = Unknown if they had any or not. None are showing up with Bloomer in the 1900 census and if they were married in 1883 then the oldest would be around 17 but then again they may never had children or the children died in infancy/childhood.....check Fountain County, IN Birth Index and see if she is listed as a mother to any children between 1883 and 1900.

1st Child (John A.) Born August 1850 Married wife Mary PARKS on 4-19-1880 in Fountain County, IN. Per Indiana Marriage Collection, 1800-1941. Book 4. OS Page 477.
NOTE: They must of remarried or else they truely weren't married till 1880. I'd check in Pennsylvania to see if there is a marriage entry there. Could be they didn't have a record here and couldn't get one from PA so they remarried. Or maybe it was they just renewed their vows.

I am convinced that Mary PARKS was his only wife. I am also convinced that Richard and Benjamin R. are one in the same and that the confusion was due to a transcription error at census time.
In the 1900 Census note that she had 9 Children. This is the exact number I come up with.
Children:
John A. McELWEE

Found this on the Fountain County, IN Master Cemetery Index.
I believe this to be them. Some of the years are different but I think that may be due to transcription error. Could be the stone was difficult to read or they just wrote it down in error.
McElwee, Mary Ann 1833 1918 old 5 J 1
McElwee, Matthew 1827 1888 old 5 J 1
Unsure at this time what Cemetery this is located in however.
Ruth -- would GREATLY appreciate the help. I can certainly send them to Japan or give me your daughters snail mail and I'll send them there. You're right - check your work then send an attachment to Jeff when finished. If you want to e-mail me at my own address above we discuss it farhter. THANKS MUCHES KZ

Located as I am in Japan, it would be impossible for me to do any
genealogical work at all without the kindness of strangers. I'd be
happy to tackle some of the WPA records as a small way to say thank-you.
I'll be visiting my daughter in the US next month, so perhaps you
might send the materials for transcription there?
What happens after the inputting? Does someone check the work? I will
double check mine but know it will not be flawless.

Ancestry.com users: There is a major error on the 1840 Census involving
Fountain Co. Indiana. I discovered this when I did a search for 1840, opened the
page, found Fountain County on the header, and Franklin County written on the
left margin near the names. (See image 30, 36, or 46 of 109.) If you study
this, you will find that most of the Franklin Co. images have been put into
Fountain Co.
So, beware! If you pull up an 1840 Census record for Fountain Co. IND and it
is one of 109 images, then you are looking at Franklin Co. IND, not Fountain
Co. IND.
On these 109 images, not only is the census enumerator, James Samuels, the
same enumerator as the one who did Franklin Co. IND, but also the "typed" page
numbers are continued from Franklin Co.
If you do a search for Franklin Co., 42 Franklin Co. images come up with
typed page numbers 254-274. The census then ends abruptly without a summary.
But, the missing pages, 275-328, are then found under Fountain Co., township not
stated. (note that images 1 and 2 of 109 are leftovers from an unknown
county), Image 3 of 109 is typed page 275, continued from Franklin Co. IND.
I reported this to Ancestry, using the "Having problems viewing this image?"
link at the top of the page. I do not know if this was the proper place to do
it. Someone on the Franklin Co. IND message board also noticed the problem
and said she reported it to Ancestry in August 2006.

The following is just for these two. I'm working on typing out their childrens information and I will send that information in seperate posts for each child.
Could someone please help her out by looking up information in your death and cemetery index so that she can fill in the blanks.
Also, if someone is going to go look up obits could they try and locate Mathew and Mary's for her. And if someone can find where they are buried could someone supply her with a photo of the tombstone.

Per Indiana Death Index, 1882-1920:
Mathew M. MC ELWEE

Age at Death - 71....so born about 1827
Record is located: County Health Office, City Health Office, Attica or Covington. Book H-19 on page 254.
NOTE: I'm not sure but either Mathew was married to 2 different Mary's or Mary PARKS and he were married again in 1880....possibly a renewel of vows or maybe they didn't have proof of their marriage and had to remarry.....not sure which scenerio is accurate. I do know that Mary lists herself as having bore 9 children per the 1880 census. However, could be a coincidence that the last Mary bore this number of children. I'd check for their marriage in Pennsylvania as their son John was listed as being born there in the 1860 census. Also, Mathew himself was born in PA per the 1860 Census. I'd do this to rule it out......to see if the first marriage shows it as Mary PARKS also.

Submission/transcript may be submitted as an EXCEL or Microsoft WORKS
(Spreadsheet) formats, a word document (comma or Tab separated) or as a
TEXT document, comma or tab separated columns.
WORD compatible formats may also be used, Word Perfect, RTF, DOC, TXT etc.
Adobe PDF format should be AVOIDED.
IMAGES may be submitted with accompanying text descriptions, in the
following formats:
JPG/JPEG, GIF, BMP, [TIF (only for B/W)]
Again Adobe PDF and Microsoft WORD documents should be avoided for
IMAGE and WEBPAGE formatted files. They are nearly impossible to
extract images from and the Microsoft embedded coding is a real mess to
clean up.
Once transcripts are received they are converted to TEXT only, and
reconverted from text to HTML using NoteTab a text processing program.
(I have several routines I have developed for making webpages)
If the files arrive in any form of readable format, I generally can get
them into shape and up.
