Hello Listers:
I'm hoping someone can help me solve a puzzle.
I have located a family on the 1850 census as follows:
Mary Johnson 46 b. KY
Rachel Ryker 26 b. IN
Emma " 24 b. IN
Margaret J. Johnson 15 b. IN
Wm. L. " 12 b. IN
Sarah C. " 10 b. IN
Saml 7 b. IN
Joseph 5 b. IN
I believe Margaret J. Johnson married Edward Morehouse. I located them on
the 1900 census living in Iowa, with their son. Rachel Ryker is also listed!
She is shown as born in May 1820 and is shown as step-aunt of Margaret and
Edward's son.
Who is this Rachel Ryker?? I guess she would be a step-sister to Mary
Johnson. Could Mary Johnson have been Mary Ryker?
I located a Samuel S. Johnson that died Jan 24, 1849 and his will was rec.
Feb. 16, 1849 and says he lived in Madison, wife Mary, exec. - infant
children. Is this Mary's husband??
Does this family sound familiar to anyone? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Karen
