Does anyone on this list know of a Lydia JONES who resided in Hancock Co
IN and was a very early landowner. There is a land transaction to George W.
WILLETT, 9 Nov 1837 from Isaac and Lydia HENDRICKS, in Section 28, Twp 16,
Range 6
There is a marriage of a Lydia JONES and Isaac HENDRICKS, in Wayne Co IN.
My gg-grandfather, Isaac HENDRICKS, resided in Wayne Co when he purchased
land in Hancock Co IN, in 1935..
I am trying to determine whether this is the deceased or divorced spouse
of my gg-grandfather Isaac HENDRIX who is shown on the 1850 census. The only
female it shows is Jane age 47 and Isaac age 79. Of course, this age
difference does not mean they could not be husband and wife, as my gg-grandpa
DAVIS married a lady *38* years younger.
Living with Isaac & Jane are Jeramah WALKER age 27, James SHIMERHORN age
17 (SCHERMERHORN?), and Isaac HENDRIX age 10. I am also wondering whether
young Isaac is a product of the marriage to Jane.
Any and *all* help appreciated.
