Kathy,
The mystery deepens. Adda Blumer is living in the household of a George Ferris,who was
a wife Anna and daughter Easter in the 1870 census. She is listed last. It is probable
that she is the daughter of Anna by a previous marriage.
The WPA index shows Jane Bloomer died on May 3 1882.
I also found a marriage for Ada Bloomer to Joseph Sills October 9 1883.
I have found a tree on Ancestry, explaining this Ada. I think you are right in thinking
she is John's daighter.
see if
this helps you.
Look at this one to, it was on the Shelby County website.
Hope this helps,
Susan

Gosh Susan, I just looked at all this again, and now it's raised a new
question.
Lucinda Bush Stump did have a sister Jane, b. abt 1817. She is on the 1850
as a widow aged 43 as Jane Oldham with her son John Bloomer 16.
Her marriage to Christopher Bloomer was 1 February 1835 and John was b. c.
1836
Jane Bush Bloomer m John Oldham 27 February 1845.
So, did Jane revert to the name Blumer with daughter Adda on the 1880? Who
is Adda's father if Christopher was dead by 1845 when Jane married John
Oldham and John Oldham was dead by the 1850 census. Adda's est birth date
would be 1864. Or is there a third husband Bloomer/Blumer? Or is this
another Jane entirely?
And, again, what happened to John Bloomer b. c. 1836. Could he be Adda's
father and she is really Jane Blumer/Bloomer's granddaughter on the 1880?

Kathy,
There is a marriage for John A Vernon and Mary C CARTWRIGHT on both April
12 and April 18, 1866 in Shelby County. Both records are in Book 8 pages
477 and 495 respectively.
In looking at the 1880 census, I noticed the original house number and
household numbers hasd been crossed out and renumbered below. If you look
at the original numbers you will se that Lucinda was not living in John's
household. John's house and household was listed as 136/136. Lucinda was
listed as 137/137. Also living in the house with Lucinda was a Jane
Blumer and her daughter Adda.
I believe Jane was probably a sister to Lucinda. There is a marriage for
a Jane Bush to a Christopher Bloomer Feb 1, 1835 in Shelby County.
Interesting,I don't find a marriage for Christopher Stump to Lucinda.
However there in one for a CHristopher Stump to a Mary E. Bush July 18
1860 in SHelby COunty and one for a Mary Stump to an Andrew J. Cayton on
July 25, 1860.
One other point. If you look for at the 1850 census you will see
thatJohn and Isabelle Cartwright are neighbors to Cristopher and Cintha
Stumps and the next household is a Samuel Moore. In the 1870 census John
Vernon is neighber to Samuel Moore.
Hope this helps,
Susan

is enlistment, but although young in years he proved to be a gallant
soldier. His command was assigned to the Army of the Cumberland, under
General Wilson. During his early days as a soldier he was the victim of
sickness, and in April, 1864, he was sent to a hospital. Later he was
detailed as a nurse in the offices of the general hospital, where he ably
performed his duties. In the autumn of 1864 he was given a furlough home
from Nashville, Tennessee, for thirty days. At the end of that time he
returned to the hospital service, where he continued his work for some
time. In 1865 he served on different plantations in the South as a guard.
He finally received an honorable discharge on August 28, 1865. Having been
on detached duty so long he took no part in any of the great battles of
the war, but was in a number of skirmishes, principally with bushwhackers.
Completing his army service young Vernon returned home to the peaceful
pursuits of life and again resumed farming, which he has successfully
carried on ever since, now owning a good farm of forty acres, which he has
drained and improved and brought to a high state of cultivation. He
remodeled the dwelling and otherwise beautified the surroundings.
Mr. Vernon was married on April 18, 1866, to Mary C. Cartwright, who was
born in Moral township, February 1, 1846. She is the daughter of John and
Isovela (Oldham) Cartwright, both now deceased. They were married in
Virginia and were among the early settlers of eastern Indiana. George
Cartwright, brother of Mrs. Vernon, served in the Union army one year as a
member of Company I, Twenty-sixth Indiana Volunteers.
The following children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. John A. Vernon: Noah
W., who died September 20, 1903 and left surviving, as his only heirs, his
widow, Adda (Doty) Vernon, and three children, viz: Nina, Olive and Mary.
Orville D. lives in Addison township; he married Mana Huffman (deceased),
and two children were born to them, Arthur and Zaner. Anna B. Vernon
married Frank Mohr; they live in Moral township and are the parents of
these children: Hazel, Onie Belle, Clara Lucille and John. William H.
Vernon is deceased; he married Corda Smith and they became the parents of
these children: Roy, Merritt, Anna May, Arthur, Dorothy. John Elmer
Vernon, who lived in Brandywine township, married Maggie Mohr, and they
have two children, Ray and John S.
John A. Vernon and wife are members of the East Union Baptist church, and
the former is one of the trustees of the same, having long been an active
member of this congregation. In politics he is a staunch Prohibitionist,
and has worked in the interest of his faith for many years. He is a member
of Moral Lodge, No. 466, Knights of Pythias, and he assisted in organizing
this lodge, being a charter member of the organization. Mr. Vernon is also
a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and is at this writing
commander of the local post. Both he and Mrs. Vernon number their friends
by the scores throughout the county as a result of the upright and
industrious lives they have lived.

So, who is Mary C. STUMP married to and why is Lucinda BUSH STUMP living
with the VERNON's in 1880? And, just for good measure- Lucinda and Cynthia
BUSH's mother was Mary CARTWRIGHT married to Joseph BUSH.
Thanks for any help. Kathy Moore
