I'm researching the Mc Millin side of my family. My great grandmother was
born in or around Terre Haute. I am a bit stumped on her mother, Alice
Cecilia Fox. Alice was listed as "adopted" in the 1880 census by a family
named Taubeneck, Carl and Bertha Taubeneck. Her birth place has been listed
as both Indiana and Illinois, so I was thinking that she was born in Vigo,
Clark, Vermillion or maybe Knox counties. She was born September 1865 and
she married James R. Mc Millin in September of 1886. I have tried to locate
a death cert for her, but I don't believe it was recorded. They lived in
Fountainette when she died, March 1909.
James then married Ella King and had 4 more children, two of which are still
living in Terre Haute. There isn't really much known about James beyond
statistics, birthdate, death date, marriage dates, etc. He is buried in
Highland Lawn with his parents, brother and sister in law, Alice and some of
their children and grandchildren. I did hear that he and Ella got a
divorce, but I don't know when. It would have to have been between 1926 and
1951.
Anyone having information relating to this family would be a great help to
me. I am also researching the Craft family out of Parke County if anyone
knows anything about them.
Thanks,
Jennifer
PS, I will be making a trip out there this summer and I was trying to put
together a schedule, any suggestions?
