**********************************
In the 1880 Lancaster Twp., Huntington Co., IN census I found Jane Blair, age 45, widowed,
born in Indiana living with Josiah (age 55-NC) & Mary Helton. Jane is listed as a
sister to Josiah.
A posting on
familysearch.org list the children of Alexander Helton & Mary Jewels as:
Male Helton b: abt. 1822 - Wayne Co., IN
Josiah S. Helton b: Oct 15, 1824 - Wayne Co., IN
Abraham Helton b: abt. 1831 - Wayne Co., IN
Lydia Helton b: abt. 1834 - Wayne Co., IN
Mary J. Helton b: abt. 1837 - Wayne Co., IN
Betsey Helton b: abt. 1839 - Wayne Co., IN
Manley Helton b: abt. 1841 - Wayne Co., IN
I didn't find Alexander Helton listed in the Indiana census until 1840 and he is found
in Greenfork Twp., Randolph Co., IN. The older children have stated in later census they
were born in North/South Carolina.
I hope this helps...............Karen
