Hi, Everyone
I have a few family's that have married each other and have lived
in Madison, Hamilton, and Hancock Co.'s in IN.
The Faucett's and the McNutt's had Sara McNutt Goldsmith, Bob
McNutt, and Eliza McNutt Faucett married Thomas Faucett.
Sara McNutt Goldsmith is listed on a home page in Family Tree
Maker, "Ancestors of Ruth Ellen Noel". Her sister's and brother's are
listed as: Mary McNutt (m. Jonathan Lister), Sara McNutt (m. Thomas
Gardner Goldsmith), Nancy McNutt, John McNutt, Anna McNutt (m. Robert
Webb Budd), Olive McNutt. But no Eliza or Robert.
Thomas Faucett had some brother's and sister's also: Sidney Faucett
m. someone named Harter, Jane Faucett m. Martin Lunsford, Nancy Faucett
never wed., Robert Faucett, and John Faucett.
A son is born to Eliza and Thomas and they named him, James Henry
Faucett. James m. Mary Elizabeth Merrill at a very young age (Mary's
age) Mary's uncle James S. Merrill signed for Mary, at this point where
is her father, William Merrill. William had a brother and sister, James
S.Merrill, Hulda Merrill. Hulda was married but know one could remember
his name. Mary's mother was Susanna Shull and William Merrill married in
1853, Mary was born in 1854 and by 1856 they were divorced. I believe
William may have remarried a woman named Lucy Know. I know that Susan
married a man named Charles Doty.
William's parents were John Merrill and Nancy Gardner Merrill.
Nancy's family was from VT, Nancy died in 1834 and John remarried a
woman named Louisa Allen. John's father was Joseph Merrill, John was an
only child. Nancy's brother Archibald Gardner brought James S. Merrill
to Fortville in 1837.
The Merrill's and the Gardner's lived in Franklin Co., IN when they
first came to IN. The Shull's I'm not sure when they came to Hancock
and Hamilton Co., IN. The Faucett's so far I have only been able to
place them in Hancock Co. The McNutt's I find in Hamilton Co.
For some reason, Mary Elizabeth Merrill and James H. Faucett got
married twice once in 1870, in Hamilton Co., and then in 1882 in Hancock
Co.
Anything anyone would remember and/or have seen please help me put
these families together again.
