WILL YOU HELP ME FIND MY G-GRANDMA SUSAN ELLIS
I am trying to compile a history for my G-Grandmother's family. She was Sarah E Ammons who married my G-grandfather but we so far have no history for her. I have mannaged to find her mother but then hit a dead end on her father. Here is what I have found so far:
Sarah E. Ammons(My G-Grandma)Sept 5,1845-June 6, 1882 in Indiana
Her mother's was Susan, and on 1880 census Sarah lists Ohio as her mother and fathers birth place. When Sarah married my G-grandfather there was a note attached to the application for lic. that read: Dec. 28, 1860 To the clerk of Richland co (Illinois) this is to authorise the clerk of said co. to issue license for the marriage of Jon(John Bunyon)Harris to my daughter Sarah E Ammons. (Signed) Wm Mcdowell and S E Mcdowell.
I have been unable to find a marriage listing for Wm Mcdowell and Susan, but found in the 1860 census them listed and found his enlistment papers into the Union Army in Richland co Il., and that he was killed in La in 1863.
Knowing that Sarah was born in Indiana, I thought if I looked there, maby I would find something. In the 1850 census I found; Sarah Amons age 5, living with Wellington Pierce 33, Susan Pierce 22, and L. V. Pierce 6, in Jeffersonville, Clark co Indiana. I then found on Ingenweb.com a marriage listed for Wellington Pierce, to Susan Ellis Ammons, on Sunday Feb. 3, 1850 in Spencer co. However it gave, Jeffersonville Clark co as Susan's residence. I also found that Wellington Pierce died of consumption, Feb 12, 1851.
Since Susan's name was listed as Ellis Ammons on her marriage lic. I thought I could probably assume that Ellis is her maiden name or a least a family name, and that somewhere around 1842-1844, she was married to Sarah's father ??? Ammons who died before 1850.
I really want to find Sarah's father, and her mothers family. I think the ladies should be heard from as well as the men in my ancestry. Thanks so much, Bev
