Subject: [INMARTIN] Fariba Witcher
Fariba Witcher, born about 1853 in Martin County, married (1) George
Tindall in
1869 (2) George W. Connell in 1878. They are in the 1880 Martin
County census, later moved to Orange County, IN.
Does anyone have any information on her parents and siblings?
Dear Mr. Lane,
I beleive the parents of Fariba Withcher were Edgar Witcher & Mary Smith
that were married in Martin Co.
IN. 6-6-1847. Evidently Mary Smith Witcher died before
2-28-1861, because that is when Edgar Witcher married
Eliza Jane Perry.
According to the 1860 census of Columbia Twp. Feriba
and her brother & sister are living with Josephus & Mary
A. Smith.
1860 census - Columbia Twp. Martin Co. IN
# 1211
Josephus Smith, 36, NC
Mary A. 27, IN
Feraba Witcher, 6, IN
Rufus Witcher, 10, IN
Isabelle Witcher, 9, IN.
1850 census - Perry Twp. Martin Co. IN.
#270
Edgar Witcher, 26, IN
Mary, 22, IN
Rufus, 2, IN
Sarah Ann, 10 months, IN.
Edgar Witcher is buried in Reilly Cemetery with his
2nd. wife.
Edgar Witcher, 1824 - 1878
Eliza J. Witcher, 1838 - 1919.
Edgar Witcher served in Co. K, 143rd. Regt. Ind. Vol. INF. Civil War. Eliza
Jane Perry Witcher drew a Civil
War Pension for herself anf her three children by Edgar
Witcher. Her children were: Arthur Witcher, b. 23 June
1868, Josephine Witcher, b. 2 Mar 1872 and Edgar Witcher, b. 2 Mar 1874.
Brice Witcher may be the father of Edgar Witcher. He is
the only Witcher in Martin Co., per 1830 census.
I found someplace on the computer where a Brice Witcher was b. 1790 in
Grainger Co. TN. It said he was
son of John Witcher, 1742 - 1813. He died in Grainger
Co. TN
Hope some of this helps you.
