Surname: Gilkison, Stoner
-------------------------
Regarding Martha Gilkison, mentioned in the previous post:
About that time period, John Stoner and his wife Caroline Ann (nee Gilkison)
were located in Lagrange Co, possibly in Eden twp. or Clearspring... John
listed his home as Hawpatch in 1861 when joining the 44th Indiana. There
were several Gilkison families (Caroline's parents and brothers) across
the Michigan border in St. Joseph County as well. These Gilkisons at the
time were most recently from Richland Co., Ohio, and there were several
branches of the family that came out to Centreville, St. Joseph, Michigan.
While Martha doesn't appear to be Caroline Ann's sister, she may be cousin.
Please visit the Gilkison surname page at
familyhistory.com, someone might
be able to look Martha up in the Gilkison (1996) book.
I would be interested in knowing how Martha was related, because I am curious
to know 'why' Caroline was in Lagrange County.
