Hi, My Graves family was living in Abington, Wayne Co., IN, in 1850. Some how my Great
grandfather John G. Gilpin met Mary Ann Graves there and married her on January 31, 1850.
They were married by a Cathloic Missionary. Shortly there
after they moved to Hamilton Co., IN...and are recorded in the 1850 census.
The Graves family stayed in Abington untill between 1852 and 1854 when her father John
Graves remarried after the death of her mother Mary F. Donlan; and
moved to Hamilton Co., also.
I'm looking for some conection between the Gilpins in the area and my John G.
Gilpin.
Can you help?
