| [Information on Rebecca and Jacob Maurer and their children is from 1860 Census of Jackson Township, DeKalb County, Indiana. LDS Church website gives her maiden name as Wyatt and lists International Genealogical Index of North America as the source. Information on marriage to Jacob Maurer is from Probate Court Records of Richland County, Ohio, as noted on LDS website. WPA Index to DeKalb County death records, 1882-1920, gives her age as 75 at time of death, which would make 1819 her birth year. But that doesn't jibe with the 1860 census that gives her age then as 44. I am somewhat mistrustful of the census data, since a census-taker in a hurry might have settled for second-hand information that was almost (but not quite) right. Finally, the cemetery inscription from the White City, Cemetery, Spencerville, IN, (as transcribed in DeKalb County Cemeteries) gives her birth date as April 8, 1814. I have not personally checked the inscription, but I have found instances in which the transcriptions don't accord with the date on the stones. So, there's a window of 1814-1819 for the period of her birth. The transcription also gives the death date as Sept. 15, 1894, although the death records show the date as Sept. 12. It's worth noting that Rebecca was widowed at about age 54 or 55, but might not have had to carry on entirely alone. According to the 1870 Census, Mary, 23, Hannah, 22, and Cyrus, 17, still lived with her, so she presumably had some help raising Eliza, 12, Simeon, 10, and Rachel 8. Also, her married sons James and Samuel are shown by the Census to be farming in Jackson Township, so they probably were near enough to be of help. Finally, information submitted by Richard Newcomer to DeKalb Co., IN, Pioneer Settlers, 1837-1850, says she was born Dec. 11, 1818, but acknowledges the differing cemetery record.]-- Mike Walter at excite.com |
