Hi!
I am so very pleased to hear from you and I thank you for the additional information about the Patton family.Until quite recently, I thought that Martha Ellen Patton Mohler's parents were Andrew Patton, b. Lima, OH and Sarah Jane Miller, b. OH, because that's the information given on her death certificate.Of course, I kept finding information about your Andrew and never found a Frederick.Finally, I looked up a marriage for Sarah and found that she had married Frederick.That's when I stopped going in circles!!Here's a timeline that I've put together.
10 April 1842--Sarah Jane Miller born, Ohio (info from a Miller researcher)
1850--Allen Co., Andrew and siblings together, but Frederick isn't with them
1850--haven't found Sarah and her parents yet
16 July 1858--Duretta Jane Patton born, Ohio (from her death certificate)
1860--Marion, Allen--Frederick with Andrew and Mary Jane
1860--Sugar Creek Twp., Allen--William H. Miller and family, but Sarah isn't with them.
6 January 1861--Allen Co., Frederick and Sarah married (I have the copy from Allen Co.)
2 March 1862--Delphos, Martha Ellen Patton born (from the Mohler family bible)
abt. 1865--William F. Patton born, OH (1870 Census)
18 December 1869--Sarah marries Jacob Graham, Van Wert Co.
1870--Allen Co., Duretta with William Patton and his family
1870--Willshire, Van Wert--Sarah and Jacob with four of his children and Martha (8) and William (5) Patent
19 June 1876--Martha marries Daniel Mohler, Van Wert Co.
1878--Duretta marries Christian Feaster, Van Wert Co.
1880--Pleasant, Van Wert--Jacob and Sarah with William F., 17, Charles, 13, and Orpha, 8.All children have Graham as their last name, but that isn't correct.Based on the 1870 census, Charles is a Graham, William a Patton, and Orpha is a Miller, one of Sarah's nieces.
1880--Union, Van Wert--Duretta, 20, and Christian
1880--Jefferson Twp., Pulaski, Indiana--Martha and Daniel and family
1900--Union, Van Wert--Duretta, 40, and Christian (no children)
1900--Jefferson Twp., Pulaski, Indiana--Martha and Daniel and family PLUS a man named Hiram?(looks like Rextrew or Rentreu or Resortew, can't tell) age 64, b. OH, father-in-law, widowed (of course this is in relation to Daniel)
1910--don't have Feasters yet
1910--Martha and Daniel in Paris, Edgar, Illinois--census is impossible to read, but my grandparents, Gladys Duretta Mohler and Dennis Malia, were married there in June 1910.
1920--Liberty, Van Wert--Duretta, 60, and Christian
1920--Paris, Edgar, Illinois--Martha, widowed, and some of her children
1930--Liberty, Van Wert--Duretta, 70, and Christian
1930--Paris, Edgar, Illinois--Martha and some of her children
12 May 1935--Martha dies in Paris, Illinois,buried in Edgar Cemetery, Paris, Illinois
Duretta and Christian are in Ohio City (Martha's obit)
29 Sept. 1936--Duretta dies in Ohio City, buried in Woodland Cemetery
As you can see, it appears that Sarah may have married for a third time.I haven't been able to track this marriage or her death down, yet, nor have I found any more about William.I suspect his name was William Frederick, after both Sarah's father and Frederick.
Duretta's age holds steady throughout all the census reports and her death certificate.Her birth is before they married. Is she their child? or Frederick's or Sarah's or a niece that they adopted or did she lie about her age?I haven't found her in the 1860 census, yet.
I'll be happy to send you any information about Martha's descendants if you would like to have it.
1870--Hopedale, Tazewell, Illinois--Allard, Ephraim, 40, farm laborer, b. OH; Mary, 30, keeps house, b. OH; Lucinda, 16, at home, b. OH; Sarah, 15, b. OH;, Andrew J., 8, b. OH
next household:
Patton, Philip, 25, farmer, b. OH;, Caroline, 20, keeps house, b. OH; John, 3, b. OH
next household:
Clawson, John, 35, farm laborer, b. OH; Alice, 26, keeps house, b. OH; Cally J., 2, b. OH; John T., 10 months, b. OH
Is this Clawson a relation--cousin, maybe?
In 1880, Philip is back in Allen Co., I can't find Allards and John Clawson, Alice, and Calie (no John) are in Mahomet, Champaign, Illinois
Thanks again,
Nancy
