I hope somebody can help. The marriage records of Fountain County, IN, indicate that a
Homan Hurdle and Esther Ann Coe married there on 31 December 1846. This Esther Ann Coe was
the daughter of Milburn Coe and Amy (Cox) Coe and by 1850 was living with her parents
under the name Hester A. Coe in Livingston County, MO. She remained with them there for
the rest of her life until she died in 1909. In the later census records, her name is
given as Esther A. Hurdle.
I am trying to establish who the Homan Hurdle was. I have been unable to find any other
record of him, and there were no Hurdle families enumerated in Fountain County in the 1840
or 1850 censuses. I am hoping maybe he is buried somewhere in the area and someone can
produce a tombstone transcription, or some other record (deed, will, etc) that would
establish who he was. They apparently had no children.
Many thanks.
