Primary Sources: http://family.gradeless.com/carmean.htmhttp://family.gradeless.com/carmean.htm;J. W. Merrill's "Yellow Spring & Huron: a Local History..." (1897); Marriage Records of Ross Co, OH; Cemetery Records for Kossuth Cememtery, Yellow Spring, Des Moines Co, IA.
As per my posting of 9 Mar 07, I have been proved wrong in thinking that Mary (Carman?) who married Isaac Rowcroft was born Mary Jane Carmean. The latter, in fact, m. John R. Braden.
Reasons for my wrong conclusion:
(1) Mary (nee ? Carman?)Rowcroft was b. Jul 1837 according to our family Bible page. The 1865, 1880, 1885, 1895 censuses confirm DOB 1837. The 1860 census says 1838 IO, & the 1900 census says 1839. That fit in with the census info on Mary Jane Carmean b c 1838, but not with the info in Merrill, which was confirmed by the Kossuth Cememtery records.
(2) Mary Jane Carmean's brother Pearson/Pierson moved near Paola, Miami Co, KS. Mary Rowcroft lived in Paola, Miami Co, KS in 1865. Siblings often moved together.
(3) Mary Rowcroft's husband Isaac resided in Washington Twp, Des Moines Co, IA in 1856, in the same county as the Carmean family in Yellow Spring Twp, Des Moines Co, IA. They could have met locally.
(4) In 1880 Mary Rowcroft visited her daughter Isabella Rowcroft who m. John Laubscher. They were living in Mediapolis, Des Moines, IA, again pointing to a Des Moines Co, IA, connection.
The circumstantial evidence pointed to Mary Rowcroft as being the same as Mary Jane Carmean, BUT Merrill's biography of Foster Carmean & the Kossuth Cemetery records disproved it. Fortunately, I found a copy of Merrill's history at the Library of Congress. So, that cuts me out of the Carmean family (at least via Mary Jane Carmean). There were Carmans in IA, IL (in Carman Co & elsewhere) & OH in the same period but so far I have not been able to make a certain identification. If anyone finds proof of a marriage between a Mary Carman/Carmean and an Isaac Rowcroft, please let me know. Thanks.
