Hello everyone. I've finally made progress on my Church ancestors in Pike/Daviess
County. Wanting to know if anyone has done Church family research in Pike/Daviess
County.
Here's what I have - can you add anything?
Joseph Church, born 2 MAR 1820 in Westerleigh, Gloucestershire, England - immigrated 1851
into Pennsylvania. Son of Robert Henry Church and Ann Jones.
married Sarah Amsbury born about 1821 in Mynyddislwyn, Monmouthshire, Wales
I do not know either of their death dates, but in the last census I can find them living
as a family it's in Daviess County. After his wife died, he's living along in
Marion County, Indiana.
They had the following children:
1. Joseph Church, born 9 OCT 1842 in Mynyddislwyn, Monmouthshire, Wales. Death date
unknown (found in 1910 census living in Washington). He married Annie Lida Henderson,
born APR 1849 in Indiana. They had the following children: Sarah and Emma.
2. Charlotte Church, born 1848 in Bedwelty, Monmouthshire, Wales (this is my ancestor).
Death date 05 APR 1880, buried at Arnold Cemetery in Pike County. She married Joseph
Wright Miley on 04 JUN 1868 in Pike County, Indiana. He was born about 1852 in Indiana
and died about 1937. He was the son of Samuel Miley and Catherine Brenton. They had the
following children: William H Miley, Joseph L Miley, Cora B Miley and Charlotte A Miley
(my ancestor).
