I am trying to find out what happened to Benjamin F Phares and his wife Barbara E Wolford.
They were married in Tipton County, Indiana, 15 Jan 1879. Barbara was born 9 Dec 1857 in
Tipton. Parents are Valentine Wolford and Luticia Ann Mannan, however she and her sister
grew up with her aunt, Julia Wimer. When Valentine was killed in the Civil War Luticia
left the children at the gate of her sister-in-law's yard, told her to take care of
the girls, left and married another man.
I have an idea that Benjamin's parents may be Adonijah and Catherine (Wimer) Phares.
That particular Benjamin was born June 19, 1856, and the dates seem to match. No solid
proof.
