Amos KENDIG m. Rachel BUNDY, IL
I have just discovered that Amos KENDIG, who married Melissa A. Straw was married prior to this.He married Rachel BUNDY (we believe the dau. of Isaac BUNDY and Sara VEST), January 29, 1843 in Stephenson County, IL. While they were married in Stephenson County, they lived/were from Carroll County, IL
Amos & Rachel had three children:
Sarah Ann b. Jan 1860, Cherry Grove Twp, Carroll Co., IL
Charles b. ABt. 1861, Cherry Grove Twp, Carroll Co., IL
Lucy b. Abt. 1864, Cherry Grove Twp, Carroll Co., IL
On the 1870 census, Amos is remarried (to Melissa STRAW m. August 24, 1869)and Charles & Lucy are living with them (Sarah apparently died).However, by 1880 when Amos & Melissa are enumerated in Hamilton, Boone County, Iowa, Charles & Lucy have "disappeared."
Amos & Melissa's children: Amos, Frank, Kate, Martha, James K., John Henry, Daisy A., Melissa E., Howard and three other children (On the 1910 census, she states that she gave birth to 12 children, but only 7 living).Amos & Melissa bounced between IL, MO, IA and ended up in AR.
