I'm at my office right now and don't have access to my complete files, but
the information I have on hand for Sarah's birthdate and death date agrees
with yours. The Arneys are buried at the Dutch Bethel Cemetery, just north
of the settlement of Arney in Owen County. I recently visited that site
and saw the grave. I'm not sure if I noted Cary's dates since that is not
a direct line for me, but I'll check. The Owen County Cemetery records
might provide that for you. Or I can look if I'm over there again.
Another descendant of Nimrod and Susannah -- Richard Currie, of Baton
Rouge LA -- has put on file in the Owen County Geneology Library a very
complete family history with all of the spouses, children, et al. I have
copies of key pages of that which may confirm the information.
I'm descended from Nimrod Mitten/Susannah Beck>>George O. Mitten/Fayette
Mae Phipps>>George W. Mitten/Josephine Harstine.

I saw Suzanne Mitten Owen's post and wondered about a Mitten in my database.
I have Sarah A. Mitten [1844-1931] who married Cary L. Arney [1842-1931].
There must be an error in my file because I show they both died in Indiana on
the same date, April 30, 1931. They were married on October 26, 1864. Sarah's
parents were Nimrod Mitten and Susanna Beck. Any ideas?
