Message Board Post:
Hi There,
I tried to help you find Mary's sister Ella Vandusen who you had in Mary's 1914
obit on another IL unknown board.
I then traced mary back based on info you gave on this query, as follows:
her Babcock grandparents were William b. abt. 1796 CT,wife Mary b. abt. 1798 Delaware
their children included a son:
MOSES**married 11 apr 1843 Hendrick Co.,IN Ann Mary (aka Mary Ann)Willinson(aka Wilkins or
Wilkenson)
all children born indiana
1.-Elizabeth Jane(aka betsy) b. abt. 1846,married Kosciusko Co.,IN John Morehouse 24 Jun
1865(born My division,Marshall Co.,IN)
2. William George b.abt.1849 was in civil war and receieved a pension(born My
division,Marshall Co.,IN)
3.Huldah(Hulda)b. abt. 1849-1850 My Division,Marshall Co.,IN
4. Isaac Newton b. abt. 1853
5.**MARY b. 14 nov 1856 married 1st St. Joseph Co. John H. TRUMP(aka van trump)12 apr
1879(her name spelled Mary BARE)
2nd married St. Joseph Co.,Lafayette HECKMAN 20 Jan 1894(her name given as Mary Ann
TRUMP)
6.Lizza(aka Eliza),b. abt. 1857
AFTER Moses died(between 1856-1862)
Mary Ann married Kosciusko Co. 6 May 1862 Palmer R.S. SCHOFIELD(aka? Benjamin)
and had
Clara SCHOFIELD b. abt. 1863-1864(either Kosciusko Co. or Lock,Elkhart Co.,IN)
Information based on
1.-1840 census Hendricks Co.,IN william Babcock
2.-1850 census My Division,Marshall Co.,IN
summary-you check the rest
all on same page on ancestry
probably incorrect birth places.
BABCOCK
William b. 1796 CT wife Mary b. Delaware and children and possibly some grandchildren on
lower part of page 27
MOSES b. abt. 1823,says PA but that's probably wrong
on next page 27,very top, is wife Mary,26,b. Delaware,kids Elizabeth,George W.(William)
and HULDA b. in census year
WILKINS,thomas 20,John 16,Nancy A.,14 and two other WILKINS
1860 census Kosciusko Co.,post office Milford
BABCOCK
William,64,CT,wife Mary,62,Delaware,Levi J.,22,IN,Lydia 14,IN,James,8,IN
BABCOCK
Mary Ann,35,OH,
Betsy,14(Elizabeth Jane)IN
George(William George),11,IN
Huldah,9,IN
Isaac N.(Isaac Newton)7,IN
MARY,5,IN
Lizza,3,IN
1870 census
Lock,Elkhart Co.,IN
all in same household
SCHOFIELD
Benjamin,67,physician,b. ENG
**Mary A.40,Delaware(mother of your mary)
Clarisa,6,IN
BABCOCK
MARY,15,IN
Isaac,14,IN
Eliza,13,IN
Lock,Elkhart,IN
MOREHOUSE
John,1836 In
wife Elisabeth,1845,IN
Lucinda,1860,IN
Mary,1862 IN
1880 census
St. Joseph Co.,IN
Lakeville township
SCHOFIELD
Mary A.,1824 Delaware widow
Clara B.,daughter,17,father b. ENGLAND,mother b. Delaware
and the rest you probably have
Above suggests Ella Vandusen you search for was probably in
Wheatfield,Jasper Co.,IN and not IL in 1914, since from 1840 through 1900 your BABCOCK
families remained in IN.
Might try spelling her last name as Dusen or any variants such as
Van DUSEN(note space) VANDUSEN,DUSEN and any soundex variant.
Good Hunting
