I am searching for ancestors of my great-grandfather, Henry Felaxum McCammon, b. 1848-9
possibly in Jennings or Jackson County, IN, d. 1932 m. Melvina Johnson in Seymour, IN
6-14-1868.
Henry F.'s son, James Edward McCammon, b. 1-3-1872 (in Seymour, IN), d. 2-26-1959,
m. Lillian E. Weaver in Indianapolis 12-9-1891, was my grandfather. His son, Henry Ellis
McCammon, b. 10-25-1898, d. 8-7-1993, m. Ruth Conarroe McCammon (in Indianapolis)
9-28-1947, was my dad.
I found a web page which lists a Henry McCammon and Albert McCammon, along with siblings
Elizabeth, Isom, Rebecca, Margaret, Mary, David and James Henry Mc. I know that my
great-grandfather Henry F. had a brother Albert, but don't know of any other siblings.
My ancestor Henry F. and his brother Albert were known to have lived with the Andrew
Horning family and were listed with that family in the 1850 census in Jackson County, IN.
My dad used to relate that his grandpa Henry F. and his brother Albert lived with the
Horning family. It was thought the parents (?) of these boys may have died in an epidemic
in the middle 1800's.
I believe--but am not sure--Henry's mother was Susannah McCammon who married an
Andrew Horning (her 2nd husband). I can't find Susannah's first husband nor
anyone further back. Susannah could have been an aunt or ?
I found a Henry and Albert McCammon (Henry's birthdate corresponds to what we know).
It lists their parents as Rebecca Orr and James Henry McCammon--his parents being Thomas
McCammon and Anna Thomas, who came from Union County.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you!!
