My maternal great-grandaunt, Pauline LAMBERTSON and Forrest VAN NESS were married on this date in 1923 in Elwood, Madison County, Indiana.  Pauline was the daughter of Charles Wilson and Pearl May (BEALS) LAMBERTSON, and the younger sister of my Clemon LAMBERTSON.  Pauline was born May 16, 1908 in Hamilton County, Indiana.  Forrest was born May 4, 1904 in Elwood, Madison County, Indiana.  They had 6 children and lived in Elwood.  Forrest died June 3, 1989 in Elwood, Madison County, Indiana.  Pauline died May 26, 1992 in Elwood, Madison County, Indiana.  Both are buried in the Elwood City Cemetery, Elwood, Madison County, Indiana.

My paternal 3rd-great grandfather, Albert MOULTON, was born on this date in 1819 in Rutland County, Vermont.  Albert was the son of Selah and Lydia (FENNEL) MOULTON.  Albert married in 1848 to Emeline PHILBRICK, daughter of Joel and Sally (FOX) PHILBRICK.  Emeline was born in 1820.  They had 2 daughters.  Albert went west to California during the Gold Rush period, and last known record is believed to be the 1850 census of Placerville, El Dorado County, California.  One source has him dying May 18, 1864.  Emeline died January 16, 1881, probably Newton County, Indiana.

Travis, we have a Van Ness line also! My line is older, but still. And, you don't see that name very often.

Barbara, Interesting how many lines seem to have crossed. Van Ness is unusual, I haven't traced it back as not direct line, but there are many in the Madison County, Indiana area.
