I am wondering what Charles Wesley age would be?
Lorraine I am wondering if Martha Shoemaker could be
a sister to Charles Wesley Shoemaker. He is my great
grand father. I have been researching them for some
time now and it is difficult because of lack of
records such as obits and death certificates.
Charles's father was William.

Hello Darlene, The information I have on Martha is sketchy, some of it family
heresy. This much I know as fact My Gt Grandmother Elizabeth Finch Willis
appears on the 1860 Census
Jay Co. Jeff. Township...
1860 Fed. Census PG.. 65
WM. Finch 75
Sarah 60
Leander 28,
Theodore Age 5.
Elizabeth age 3
Sarah Craig 18. Wm. 2nd wife daughter
*
This is Elizabeth and her family, grandfather Wm. and his second wife, Sarah
father Leander,and brother Theodore as well as Sarah's daughter, Sarah Craig.
Here is the Shoemaker File all items with * need to be documented. I have
found the naming pattern to be of interest also notice Martha's sister Sarah
was married to Martha's brother in law Wm. This according to family word of
mouth history was so. The search continues.
