Some of you have gotten this request before but here goes again---
My gg-grandfather, Lorenzo D. GILBERT married his first wife, Temperance SLACK around 1840
in I think IN. Temperance died in 1860 after having several children including my
g-grandmother, Margaret Jane. The 1850 c. shows them in Vigo Co. and the 1860c in Clay
Co. IN.
Lorenzo then married Emiline DIEL in 1861 in Clay Co. IN. I can find no info on them in
the 1870 c in Vigo or Clay Co. and am now looking in surrounding counties. The 1880c
shows Emiline and several children living with her father, Jacob DIEL in Jasper Co.
Margaret Jane is with them and this is where she married my g-grandfather, John B. SPARKS
in 1880.
Lorenzo bought property in Clay Co. from his father, Ebenezer GILBERT in 1852 but sold it
in 1864. I really would like to find out what happened to Lorenzo after 1864. Any
information would be appreciated-land records, cemeteries in these counties, etc.
Thanks,
Pat
