Hi, I got some information about Mandeville Finch from Nan Ward, nward2(a)comcast.net.
(It's been several years and the contact may be out of date.) I have Mandeville's
wife as Rebecca Elizabeth Maxwell. Mandeville b. 1810 in VA d.1846; and Rebecca b. 1813
d. 1854. Both are buried in the Finch Cemetery in Jay Co. which is near New Mt. Pleasant
somewhere; I haven't been there. I have their children as Edgar, Mildred Amelia,
John Alexander, Rebecca, James Lybrand, Charles Henry, and Robert Maxwell.
There was a note that Mandeville and his brother William left to homestead land in
Sheridan MO and Fairbury NE respectively. But Mandeville came back. It says he died of
typhoid fever in Jay Co
I'm descended from Thomas Hamilton Finch b. 1784 and his wife Telitha Holloman.
Thomas' father was John b. 1760. That John was the brother of the Thomas b. 1758 who
was Mandeville's grandfather. (I think! There are way too many John Finches through
several generations.
Hope that helps. Cynthia Finch Powers from Allen Co.

Subject: [INJAY] Mandeville Finch and elizabeth Maxwell finch
am hoping someone has some information about Mandeville Finch's
idow, Elizabeth Maxwell Finch and their children.
Mandeville died October 1, 1846. October 24, 11868 when an inventory
as made, his widow ( Elizabeth) " took" a number of items plus a
ow, etc. A month later there was a public sale of the other personal
roperty including household and kitachen items.
I find not a mention of Elizabeth until her father's will in 1853
ays she is deceased.
In 1847 Wm finch is guardian of Amelia, John, Rebecca, James L,
harles Henry Robert and Theodore. and in 1848 John Finch is the
uardian of those kids.
In 1858 John Finch is guardian of Rebecca, Charles Henry and Robert
axwell
in 1861 William is guardian of Charles H. and Robert and in 1864 as
ell.
Three of the children went to Ohio after their father died. 5
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
