Has anyone ever seen postings on a McKAIG family in Greene Co. Indiana ?
Here is a new one for the book to me.
I found my G-Grandfather John GILSON listed on the 1860 Stafford Greene Co.
census.
At the time he was married to a Sarah ---, and there were (3) children listed
in this family; Elizabeth A. age 19, William Allen age 17 and James P. age
15.
I of course using the old adage of assumption, which you know, we are all told
NOT to do, ASSUMED that the three children were GILSON.
Come to find out there was a marriage of John GILSON to a Sarah McKAIG
recorded in Columbiana Co. Ohio in 1851. The ages of the children indicate
that these were prior children of Sarah's, and I just recently read of a
marriage of a James P. McKAIG to Amanda THOMPSON in 1870 at Greene Co.
If you have been having trouble tracking some descendant as I have on these
three children, you may look into this possibility that the kids are not of
the same surname.
Now if there are any McKAIG descendants from Greene Co. Indiana out there, I
would sure like to hear from you.
