HELP PLEASE I need information about ANN ELIZA HOUSE. Can anyone shed any
light on her?
She was born Feb. 26, 1838 perhaps either in Miami or Fulton County. She was
married to a man by the name of MOON. The 1860 Fulton Co. census lists a
Samuel Moon who was born Feb. 12, 1832 and I believe he died Jan. 14, 1868.
The same census under his name lists Eliza and 3 small children, William,
Edward and John, all of whom I know were her children. After Samuel's death,
Ann married HENRY LEWIS HAWLEY, April 21, 1871 probably in Miami Co. They
lived on a farm in Birmingham, IN, a little town no longer in existence, near
Macy, IN. She and Henry had 4 children, one of whom was my father Harvey.
Henry had two wives prior to Ann - both of whom died.
According to Henry's memoirs, of which I hve a copy, he and Ann were divorced
in 1892. Ann died in Peru, IN Oct. 29, 1905. She is buried at Mt. Hope
Cemetery in Peru. I believe Henry died Nov. 6, 1903 but where he died or is
buried I do not know. I think Ann had a sister AMANDA whose married name was
Graham and she lived in Macy, IN. Family notes list a Jacob and Sarah House
but whether they were Ann's parents, or siblings I have no way of knowing.
Any information will be most appreciated. If you wish to contact me
directly, my e-mail is vhcurrey(a)aol.com
