Hi Listers:
I am new to this list and hope some kind soul out there can help me. This
Amsden family has really been a tough one for me.
It began when I found a connection to Caleb D. Amsden. Eventually I learned
he was born July 29, 1816 in NY. He died April 5, 1905 and is buried in the
Fairmount Cemetery in Jefferson County, IN.
His death certificate reveals his father was Amos Amsden, b. in Mass. and his
mother was Sarah Drake.
The only census index that reveals an Amos Amsden is the 1840 Washington
County, IN census.
Is there anyone out there in Washington County that knows anything about this
Amsden family?
Amos is not on the 1850 census, so I believe he must have died before then.
Through various internet resources I located an Amos Amsden b. April 23, 1778
in Conway, Franklin County, Mass married to a Sarah Billings; however, I have
not been able to find out anything about his children to see if this is the
Amos I am looking for.
Looking forward to hearing from anyone!
Thanks so much.
By the way, I have the 1873-1905 Jefferson County Marriage Index, the 1876
Jefferson Co. Plat Maps, the 1850 and 1860 Indiana Census if I can return any
favors and do a lookup.
