Hi there,
I could use a lookup also if you have the time on a Jerimiah B. JONES. Not
too familiar with Germany but his daughter Lydia CHAPLE - AUSTIN her 2nd
marriage, had been widowed and listed on the Elmwood, Tuscola Michigan 1900
Census. It stated that her father was born in Germany.
Lydia AUSTIN was born about Aug 1847 in Michigan. Her mother, Huldah DIBBLE,
was listed as being born in New York on the 1900 Census and in Michigan
the1880 Census.
I looked up Lydia Austin in the
familysearch.com and found a Lydia AUSTIN
born in AUG. 1848 in Michigan. Close? But both parents are stated as being
born in Michigan on the 1880 census. So who do you believe, the 1880 Census
or the 1900 Census?
The name of the parents given from the
familysearch.com were Jerimiah B.
AUSTIN and Huldah DIBBLE married 31 Dec 1843 in Fentonville(Fenton), Genesse,
MI.
So this gets even more confusing.
So that's why I am asking for a lookup to see if that name Jerimiah B.
AUSTIN appears anywhere in Germany.
I found her in the 1850 Fenton, Genesse Michigan Census alone, 40 years old
as Huldah AUSTIN and not with Jerimiah but with children, Jefferson age 20,
Joel age 13, Olive age 6 and Lydia age 3. I think this is my Lydia AUSTIN. I
wonder if they divorced or he died?
On the 1880 Census under her 1st marriage name, Lydia JONES it states her
father was born in Michigan.
So I guess Germany is a good place as any to start. I would only have to
assume he was about the same age as Lydia. Can you help at all with such
little information on him?
I told you more than you probably needed to know, but just incase maybe
something may help.
Thanks and God Bless
