Message Board Post:
Hi, Krista and others! (I'm in the same line as Krista, descending from Moses
Littleton Campbell, born 27 Nov 1827, Union county, Indiana.)
I am wondering who knows about Moses' siblings. His parents were John and Mahala
Campbell, and I'm wondering if Moses had a sister, Martha Jane Campbell b. 22 Jun
1832, Union County, Indiana. There is an 18-yr-old Jane Campbell with John and Mahala in
the 1850 federal census, living in the household next to Moses and his wife Sarah. There
are a couple family trees that have Martha Jane's mother's name as Mahala Wiley.
Before I conclude that Mahala's maiden name was indeed Wiley, I'd like to know if
this Martha Jane is indeed Moses Littleton's sister.
As for John and Mahala, they are in a 1850 federal census in Fayette County, IN, with a
one-year-old Sarah A. Simpson. (Who is this?) They show up again in 1860 and 1870 census
records in Jones County, Iowa, with Sarah now 11 and 21 years old, respectively. I
don't have anything for John and Mahala after 1870. By then they are 73 and 74 years
old.
