Minerva is definitely Peter LaHue's daughter - but the odd thing is that it looks
like she had two guardians appointed to her - one in 1837, Benjamin Romine and another in
1839, Charles J PIERCE. - I couldn't find that Benjamin died
he was taking care of Gideon W ROMINE's will, but the last date there was July 1837 -
I figure I'll be reading the entried between 1837 and 1839 to see if there is anything
more there..
So Minerva is put on land records on March 30, 1837

Then is given a guardian, Benjamin Romine, on 14 Nov 1837
Then another guardian, Charles J. Pierce on 13 Feb 1839
can anyone explain why she would switch guardians?
p166 - 14 Nov. 1837
For reasona appearing to the Court it is ordered that Benjamin ROMINE be appointed
Guardian of Menevera LAHUE infant heir of Peter LAHUE decd and that the Clerk take bond
with __ in the pentalty of $1000
p220 - 13 Feb 1839
Ordered that Charles J PIERCE be and he is hereby appointed Guardian of the infant heirs
of Peter LAHUE decd upong given bond with good Security in the sum of $1000.00.

Hi Peggy,
Well, with these wandering people, anything is possible!
Our Minerva Lahue, born about 1828 in Spencer Co., married 1843 in Porter
Co.(Indiana Marriage Records) to James Branen. I have 3 children:
Joseph, b. 1844
John, b. 1846
Elizabeth, b. 1848
NOTE: dates taken from 1850 census and I could not find any of them in 1860
census.
