Mary. Not related, just trying to help. John P Cravens married Roda Rhyan (Rhoda Ryan)
in Vigo county on 31 Jul 1885, source is book 10, page 79. I found the following births
in Vigo county: 1. an unnamed female (Francis E) born to Perry Cravens and Rhoda Ryan on 5
Jul 1886. 2. an unnamed female (Mary) born to Perry Cravens and Rhoda Ryan on 19 Nov
1890. 3. an unnamed female (Margarite) born to Perry Cravens (no mother listed) on 8 Feb
1897. I have a feeling that Rhoda might have died giving birth to the third child. In
the 1900 census the family is in Vigo county, Priarieton township, Dist 133, page 7A,
living with John P Cravens parents and included John P, 38, born Jan 1861. a widower,
married 15 years, a peddler, born in Ind and both parents in Ireland, and his 3 daughters
Francis E, 13, born Jul 1886, Ind, - Marry (as spelled), 9, Nov 1890, Ind, and Margarite,
3, Feb 1897, Ind. Perry J Cravens (John P) married Barbara Knore in Vigo county on 12 Jan
1902, source!

Dist 147, page 10A, and was headed by Perry Cravens, 49, married 2 times, this time for 8
years, father of 3, a peddler, born in Ind and both parents in Ireland, and included his
wife Barbara, 44, married 1 time for 8 years, mother of none, born in Germany as were both
parents, immigrated in 1883, his daughter Margaret, 13, born in Ind, and his brother
