I'm trying to get the Charles Wesley's straightened out.
The parents of my great grandfather, Reverand William Henry Coonce (11/10/1874-10/15/1964) was Charles W. and Jennie O. Gaw (Elizabeth).
I have just returned from Vigo and Vermillion County, Indiana searching for my roots. I also found a Charles W. that died in Clinton, Vermillion County in a train accident June 25, 1901 just after his second marriage, luckily, because his parents were not listed on his death but on his marriage certificate. They were Joseph and Hannah Cosey. He was listed as being 50 years old.
I also found Jacob with Sarah in the 1860 Hanover Twp., Jefferson County, Indian Census. The children in the house is George H. (18), Nancy J. (16), Charles W. (12), Emily (9), Matilda (6), William (3), Indiana (1).
Charles is also found in the same Twp. in the 1900 Census, born October 1847. He is with Matilda (Dec. 50), Arthur (Nov. 1874), Lillie (Feb. 81), Josie (Feb. 81), Mattie (Apr. 84) and Clarence (Oct. 90).
I found the Charles that was killed in Clinton in the 1870 Newport, Vermillion Twp., Vermillion County Census with Joseph (58), Hannah (58), Charles W. (19) and Rebecca A. (18). This Joseph was born in Ohio so I'm going to assume that he is Jacob's brother. Why you ask?
I found this same family in the 1880 Reserve Twp., Parke County Census with 2 new additions. William H. (at age 7 this would be my great grandfather) and Hannah E. (6). This is William's sister. The relationship is listed as nephew and niece.
Have I got this straight? Where did Charles Wesley, father of my William Henry die? I have to try and make sure this is straight. Help!!!
