I'm searching for descendants and/or any information available for Alvilda (Alwilda?)
BARNES. She was shown on the 1850 Census - New Durham Twp., age 4 months. In 1860 she
was 11 years old and living in Coolspring Twp. Parents were J.P.(Philander) and Sarah
Jane (Hall-Claypool) BARNES. By 1870 her father had died and mother was living in Jackson
Twp,, Porter County. Alvilda was no longer with the family, but I have not been able to
locate a marriage record for her in either LaPorte or Porter county. Will appreciate any
clues offered. Thanks in advance.
