OH OH OH !!!! I get so excited when I get new information on the
family. Thank you so much.
My ggreatgrandmother on my grandfathers side was Mary (Abdil) Marvel her
father must have died and her mother remarried J.B. Joseph they had at
least 3 daughters. Sue, Letta and Annie.
Right now I'm not sure in what order. Sue married James Carry, Let I
wasn't sure of till now. and Annie married a Pittman.
There is an old cemetery in Donaldson, In. I found J B Joseph and wife
Nancy Ann. There were some other family members there , but there could
have been even the Manlove's but of course I didn't have that name. I
must revisit. This gives me another reason to come back home for a
visit. Smile...I think some of these others may have been buried in
Westville, In.
There seems that there was a lot of the family that came from Delaware,
working the railroad line to Indiana, because that's the story that was
given to me from my grandfather. SOOOO
could there be anything on the building of the railroad , like a
historical book or history of the railroad workers in the late 1800's in
northern Indiana. The family left De. in about 1878 or 79 and were in
Indiana in time for the 1880 census.
