Dear Gemma,
I have a several small bits of information involving Hiram Doolittle.
****Hiram Doolittle and Lewis M. Alverson were named as administrators of Eli
Garrison's estate in a claim that my ancestor, Hiram Holabird made against
Eli's estate in 1838 in Elkhart Circuit Court, Elkhart County, Indiana. I
have copies of several pages of the court records if you are interested.
****I also have a copy of the 1880 census page 320 A
Mary J. Doolittle, 43 Keeping house Indiana New York New York
Emma (daughter) 20 At home Indiana New York Indiana
Re??? (daughter) 12 " " "
John (son) 3 " " "
****Parish records of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Mishawaka, Indiana
"These persons were recognized as communicants on my taking charge of the
Parish Ap. 1846, at which time there was no Parish Register. B. Halsted(?)
Name Date of death or leaving Parish Remarks
Hiram Doolittle Removed to South Bend
Lucy Doolittle dead"
Written very lightly after Lucy Doolittle's name is what look like"or Mrs
Todd removed to South Bend"
Hope some of this might be new information for you. There might be more
about the Doolittle family in the Parish records. I only copied the pages
that pertained to my ancestors.
Good Luck.
