I hope someone on this list can help me solve a problem for me of long standing:
I have a Catherine M. (maiden name unknown) married to Francis H. Vandercook in Carroll
Co., Ind. She was born about 1811 N.Y. Vandercook died in Carrol in 1854 and she married
Isaac K. Eldridge there in 1856.
Catherine and Isaac are living in Pittsburgh, Carroll in 1860. They were apparently
divorced by 1870 as Isaac had remarried and was living in Tipton.
There is a marriage listed in the Indiana Marriage Index for Catherine M. Vandercook to
John W. Warner in 1871 Tipton. I find no Warner there that fits in either 1870 or 1880.
I know there are errors in the Index.
I did find however, Benedict Burnett and a Catherine in 1880 in Wisconsin and a Catherine
Burnett is buried next to one of her Vandercook children.
The jump from Warner to Burnett is a loose piece.
I guess what I need to solve this is divorce records and original marriage records and
where to find them.
Thanks for listening.....I will appreciate any clues.
