Hi,
I have been reading about the Chenoweth's in the History of Martin County in Indiana.
According to that history Wilson and John A. Chenoweth were businessmen in that county in
the 1860's.
I am interested in the Johnson and Chenoweth 'Stave and Hoop' and Cooperage
businesses to see if there are any employment records. My gggrandfather Eli Easterwood
worked as a cooper in Halberts Twp in 1863 and enlisted in the 91st Reg. there in 1864
listing his occupation as cooper.
I am also looking for a family connection in Martin County to Benjamin C. Johnson, the
business partner mentioned above. Eli's wife was related to Elizabeth Johnson Trader
of Dearborn Co. Indiana.
