Looking for parents of my ggg grandfather, Calvin Epperson. He lived at various times in
Fountain and Tippecanoe Cos.
Calvin married Sarah Waggoner, daughter of Michael Waggoner in Fountain Co., 1839. He
appears on the 1840 census. His daughter Hester married my gg grandfather in Fountain
County in 1864. He states on the census that he was born in Kentucky and his parents in
Virginia and Kentucky, respectively.
Various researchers have given his parents names as John Epperson and Rebecca Sword;
however, I haven't found any references to John or Rebecca in Fountain Co. According
to them, John died in Covington in 1846, but I've found no census or other records for
him. There are other Eppersons, however, on the census of 1840.
If anyone has any information, it would be a big help!
