Hi,
I am in the need of help I believe my MACK family lived in Scott County AR,
South Bend, Indiana then moved to California. What I do not know it who is
the father of Andrew Mack that was born in South Bend's.
Does anyone know this family?
John Palmer
Local History/Genealogy Room In South Bend, Indiana found
I did not find any early deed records for Andrew Mack; however, his name
appears as a witness for a land transaction on May 27, 1833.
The 1840 Federal Census lists Andrew Mack in St. Joseph County,
Indiana (page 38). None of the townships were named, so it is difficult to
determine exactly where they lived. However, South Bend is in Portage
Township Also in the entry are one male under 5 years old, one male between
5 and 10, one male between 60 and 70 years old, one female between 5 and 10
years old, one female between 10 and 15 years old, one female between 15
and 20 years old, and one female between 30 and 40 years old.
The age difference between the oldest male and the oldest female
suggests
that the elder male was either a grandfather of the children and the oldest
female was his daughter-in-law, or that this was a second marriage for him
and that he had married a very young woman.
St. Joseph County Marriage Records report the marriages of Charlotte Mack
to Edward McGillen on November 25, 1845 and Nancy Mack to Samuel Loring on
June 21,
1846. I was not able to find obituaries for either Charlotte,
Edward, or Nancy so I do not know how or if they are related to
Andrew.
However, Samuel Loring was named administrator for Andrew Mack's estate.
The "St. Joseph Valley Register" newspaper issue of September 18, 1846
reports the death of Andrew Mack. "Died September 13, in Liberty Township,
St. Joseph County, In., Andrew Mack, aged 68 years, one of the first
settlers of Northern Indiana."
The 1850 Federal Census for St. Joseph County, Indiana lists Hannah
Mack
(age 45) in Liberty Township (p. 81). Also listed with her are Andrew
Mack (age 25), Squire Mack (M) (age 17), Frances Mack (F) (age 15), and
Miriam (Hiram) Mack (F) (age 13). Hannah was born in New Hampshire. All of
the
children were born in Indiana.
