Update on Daniel Neidigh:
Bio has several misnomers. 1850 Greene Co. IN has Abraham & Elizabeth Neidigh already
listed next door to John Hawkins. Susan Ellen Casey was Daniel's 1st wife & mother
of his 6 children. Susan m. Daniel Mar.12, 1868, her sister Louisa m. John Hawkins of 1850
census son-John Jr. in 1872. Census have the same Hawkins family listed on the same page
or within 10 household as Daniel Neidigh thru & including the 1900 Washington Greene
Co. IN census. Susan E. was born in TN to Dempsey and Dicy Martin Casey, not in Ky as the
bio reads. The child that Daniel & Sarah Elizabeth Meredith , Daniel's 2nd wife
raised, is listed in the 1900 census as his niece Mettie C. The census records prove that
Daniel is still living on his parents farm in the 1900 census for Greene Co. IN. His
headstone carry the name of his 2nd wife and son Wm. Walter b. 1882 son of Susan E. Casey.
Does anyone have records of a family cemetery plot on the Neidigh farm purchased by
Daniel's parents? Believe his parents are buried there as well as Susan & her two
infants unamed. They might be the two unnamed in the Greene Co. death records. There is an
Elizabeth age 79 who died Feb.18,1887 listed in BK-1. An unnamed infant died 10/26/1884
& another Feb.11,1887 just a few days before Elizabeth, that are listed in the same
Book. Can someone tell me if by looking at Elizabeth Neidigh's death certificate, the
location of her burial can be found? If this is Daniel's mother the certificate should
have info to confirm.
