Hi Listers:
I've been looking at these families for 2 days straight! I'm looking for
help piecing them together.
It is apparent that in the 1850-1870's these two families must have owned
farms close together.
On Dec. 4,1816 Nancy Moncrief married James Ritchie in Jefferson Co., IN.
That would mean she was born about 1796?
On January 27, 1819, Abner Moncrief married Ann Vawter. They had a daughter
born on November 14, 1829, named Nancy Ritchie Moncrief!
Nancy Ritchie Moncrief married Caleb D. Amsden on July 1, 1852. They had a
daughter named Sarah Amsten that married Walter Ritchie!
Who were the parents of Nancy Moncrief and Abner Moncrief. Were they
siblings?? I located a Caleb Moncrief (b. about 1792) and a Gideon Moncrief
(b. about 1800). Were they related to Nancy and Abner. Some census say born
in KY some say GA. Abner was born in Nicholas Co., KY.
Now, the Ritchie family. I can only trace Walter Ritchie's family back as
follows:
Parents:
John Robert Ritchie b. May 27, 1831 IN
w. Mary A. Dean b. Feb 26, 1835 in OH (d/o of John Dean b. NY? and??)
Father of John Robert Ritchie:
John Ritchie b. 1807 in OH? and died July 9, 1877
(1) wife: Sophie Branham
(2) wife: Julia A. Ingram
Also, who were Caleb Amsden's parents?? He was born in Madison Co., NY.
PLEASE HELP.
Karen
