I am looking in Jay County for the surnames McFadden, RANCK and TAYLOR
Cornelia McFadden married in Henry Co., Ind 28 Sept 1870 to F. Benjamine
Taylor
There is listed Henry Co, Ind 1n 1860 census a Benjamine Taylor and one also
in Delaware Co.
Catherine McFadden married Samuel Ranck. She was born 1833 to William
McFadden and Mary (Crossan) McFadden and died 13 Jan 1901 and buried Twin
Hills 100F Cemetery, Penn Twp, Jay County, listed 68 yrs ,3 mo, 16 days, wife
of Samuel. He is listed as being born 1827 and death as 2 Dec 1902 and buried
there also.
Also listed is Irven E. Ranck B 1867 D 1916 (Who is this/)
I have seen where Catherine Ranck and two of her childern are buried at the
Bloomfield Cemetery in Jay County, Ind. where also is buried Elnora McFadden
wife of James McFadden.
From Jay Co. Bios Forum is listed Samuel Blazer who had a daughter Elvira who
married James McFadden. Looking for someone who can tell me about this
family.
Have heard from another researcher that James McFadden married Elnora Brady ,
that he was born in Franklin Co. Pa. and died 15 Jan 1908 at Munice, Delaware
Co., Ind. They had a daughter named Mary who married William Francis Smith
and had an only child Homer Smith and they lived in Jay County. Homer died in
1987 Could this be Elvira Blazer and James McFadden listed above.
Any help on these families would be greatly appreciated. Would like to have
obit of Homer Smith who died 1987 and obit for James McFadden died 15 Jan
1908 at Munice, Ind. His obit is said to have the information in it which
states that he was born Franklin Co, Pa and his parents William and Mary
(Crossan) McFadden had 13 childern in their family. If you can help with a
look-up please let me know.
