According to my searches, I have two Andrew THACKERs, both born in 1834, and
I would appreciate some help in sorting them out.
First is Andrew J. THACKER, born in 1834 in Indiana. This Andrew appears to
be the son of Jorden Thacker and Elizabeth Mounce Thacker. The family
appears in the 1850 census in Jackson Township, Brown County, Indiana.
The second is Andrew Jackson THACKER, born in 1834 in Indiana. This Andrew
appears as Jackson THACKER, son of Archibald THACKER and Marthena Mounce
Thacker in the 1850 census in Jackson Township, Morgan County, Indiana.
In the 1860 census, in Taylor Township of Greene County, Andrew J. Thacker,
his wife Mary J. and daughter Mary E. are found. Their marriage license is
found in Greene County, where Mary's maiden name is STREET.
The second Andrew J. THACKER is found in Washington Township of Morgan
County, with his wife Elizabeth T. and three children (Martha, Mary, and
Angeline). Their marriage record is found in Morgan County, and Elizabeth's
maiden name is Tompkins.
From this point on, I have records that relate to Andrew, Andrew
Jackson,
and Jack Thacker, but I am lacking the ability to link these records to
the
correct Andrew. For example, there is a grave stone in the Mahalasville
cemetery for Jack THACKER 1834-1898. Could this be one of the Andrew
Jacksons?
Also, I have the obituary for Mrs. Pheriba THACKER, wife of Andrew THACKER.
Pheriba died in September 1923. Their children included Claude, Augustus,
Ernest, and four married daughters. Is this a third Andrew THACKER, or is
Pheriba UNKNOWN the second wife of one of the above Andrew Jacksons?
I sure would appreciate any documentation and/or data to properly relate
these Andrews and determine the death dates and burial locations for these
two or three people. And who, when and where did Pheriba marry?
Thanks for any help or comments.
Jim
