Benjamin Gearheart--died in Iowa
While rumaging throught the Family History Site; I came across one Benjamin Gearheart bn 1820 in Floyd Co.,Ky and died in Iowa ,who married Mary Ann Hale bn 1824 in Floyd Co. Mary Ann is the daughter of Benjamin Hale and Anna Hall.
My thought is that we may have found the illegimate child that gave rise to the marriage bond between Sarah Hale and My Great Great Grandfather Joseph Gearheart in 1818 in Floyd Co.,Ky. Joseph went on to marry Sarah Martin in 1821 and this Sarah Hale is thought to have married George Riddle. The 1820 Floyd Co.,Ky census shows a Joseph Gearheart with a son under 5 years. He is aparently living with an older Joseph or with his father ?
Welcoming any thoughts on this one. Herb
