Does anyone know where Middleberry, Indiana is or was? I have here that my great-aunt and
uncle: EDWARD and LAURA (CANFIELD) COLLINS were married there in 1844. They had children
by the name of: ALVINS F., EDWARD M., MARION and ADAH.
I believe LAURA's father, my great-great grandfather IRA CANFIELD lived with her the
last few years of his life and since I don't have a single written document (that I
know of) to prove his existance, finding his burial place would be a big leap toward
hurtling that brick wall.
Another location mentioned was MISHAWAKA, IN. which I understand is a suberb now of South
Bend,IN. - but I don't find them there in the mid to late 1840's which is the
important time for me. Thank you in advance. Sandy Childs in Calif.
Hi Sandy,
In 1860 census they also have a Dolly 3, Elsie 13, Horace 8,Laura is 42 and
Edward is 37. I hope this helps also.
