Hi,
The parents of Samuel ALBERSON are Chrales ALBERSON b. 20 Nov 1826, OH, d. 6
Feb 1878, Phenix, Wells Co., IN & Mary Ann BROWN b. 8 Dec 1821, Centerville,
Wayne Co., IN, d. 18 Nar 1909 Phenix, Wells Co., IN. Samuel and Mary Ann
were married 18 May 1846 Randolph Co., IN. They had 11 children, Samuel
being the 7th.
Samuels parents being Joshua ALBERSON, Sr. b. 1794 North Carolina, d. 18 Jan
1879, Adams Co., IN & Catherine DEETER b. ca 1808, OH. They had 6 children.
Charles being the eldest.
Mary Ann BROWN's parents were Philip BROWN & Julie TAYLOR. I only know of
the one daughter and this is all the info that I have on them.
Ella Maria MCCOLLISTER , (note that MCCOLLISTER is the correct surname.), is
the daughter of Henry C. MCCOLLISTER b. 26 Feb 1832, Greene Co., PA, d. 29
Apr 1907 Wells Co., IN & Eliabeth A. SMITH b. 26 Nov 1839 OH, d. 7 Feb 1924
Wells Co., IN. They were married 17 Dec 1855, Clinton Co., IN.
Henry's parents are a mystery. Two biographies refer to him leaving home at
aprox. age 14 and going to Pittsburg, down the Ohio R. and into the state of
OH. He shows up in Ross Co. OH 1850 Census as Henry MCCOLLISTER although his
true surname is BEBOUT. As to how he aquired the MCCOLLISTER surname or why
he left home, know one seems to know. I have been unable to 'prove' the
above story. Henry seems to taken the knowledge of what happened to the
grave.
Elizabeth's parents are James T. SMITH b. DE & Lydia M. WAIT b. OH. This is
the only child I have for them.
Note that Henry and Elizabeth moved with the SMITH family in 1856 to Jay
Co., IN.
I'm afraid I don't have anything on the CASHMAN line.
Hope the above helps. I have more info such as children if you would like.
Have a great day. I look forward to comparing notes further.
