While researching my WV to Indiana Wolfords (via Ohio and Illinois), I ran
across someone in Indiana I didn't know in Cicero Township, Tipton County,
Indiana.
John Wolford, age 46, farmer, born in Ohio
Peggy age 56 born in Virginia
Michael age 20, day laborer, born in Ohio
Sarah age 15 born in Ohio,
Elmira age 12, born in Ohio
My Wolfords lived in Randolph/Tucker/Pendleton County WV before moving to
Ohio before 1831. (In between census years, and they were off to live in
Illinois by 1840.)
Since it was popular for some WVers to move to Ohio (one brother left Hardy
Co, WV to Ohio, and many of his neighbors), I'm wondering if this is an older
nephew that went finally settled in Indiana when my Wolfords bought land in
Tipton in 1848. My ancestor was the youngest son, and there were 3 older
brothers. A nephew is possible.
Anyone heard of John, Peggy, Michael, Sarah or Elmira?
Regards,
Diane
