Back to the children of Wesley and Martha Johnson...Molly.
Could use some help with your ideas or any records.
Did she have another name? Some say she was married to "E Bright". Listed in
1880 Census Wayne, Rand Co, IN as widower. Who is "E" Bright?
As to the fact of Elizabeth, Willemina, Indiana and James F belonging to Wesley and
Catherine....
1860 Rand Co Jesse Engle, Martha, Mary A. dau 1858, Lutecia
(sp)dau 1860.
1870 St Clair Co, MO Wesley Engle OH, Martha IN, Mary 1858 IN, Lucretia (sp)1860 IN,
Amanda 1862 IN, Josephine, 1864 IN, Elizabeth 1864 IN, no name female 1870 MO. All daus.
1880 Wayne, Rand Co, IN Wesley Engle, Catherine wife, Elizabeth 1868 IN, Willemina 1872
MO, Indiana 1876 IN, James F 1878 IN, E Bright 1856 IN.
Any records of when or where Martha died and when Wesley married Catherine Sheppard? Did
Wesley and Catherine live in MO? Elizabeth was with Wesley and Martha in MO. Surely she
doesn't belong to Catherine. And just my opinion, but would say Willemina probably
belongs to Wesley and Martha. Then maybe with the 4 year spam before Indiana was born,
perhaps this was when Catherine came in.
1880 Census shows Josephine as grdau in HH of Mary Johnson in Williamsburg, Wayne Co.
Lutitia, as grdau is in the HH
of William and Letitia Engle in Rand Co. Also found a Mary J Engle b1874 MO, as niece in
HH of Alphus B Cook in Green, Wayne Co, IN. Not sure this is another ch of Wesley,
can't find a connection to Cook family wife Mary.
Any info available on any of the children?
