Thanks very much for the responses to my post about Caroline
Rails! It was suggested I should repost with her name in the
subject line, to catch people who scan the subject lines.
Here's my info:
Caroline RAILS was born, she said in Indiana, various records say
1825, 1827, or 1829. She had a stepfather named FENTON and she
often went by FENTON. In particular, she was married as Caroline
Fenton to Eli D. SISSON in Switzerland Co. in 1842. She and Eli
are in Switzerland Co. in the 1850 census. By 1860 they were
living in Knox Co. Eli was in the 80th Ind. in the Civil War and
died in March 1863 in Louisville, KY, of bronchitis. Caroline
received a pension. There is a marriage license for Caroline and
Lewis Jereux in March 1867. However, Caroline is listed as head
of household in Knox Co. in 1870 as Caroline Sisson, with
children Francis Sisson, Ira Sisson, Hiram Sisson, and Lewis
Jereux age 2.
Looking for parents of Caroline RAILS/RAYLES/RAYL.
Thank you,
Carol Sisson Regehr
