Nancy Bales (1844-1866), Henry County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Nancy Bales (1844-1866) was the daughter of Aaron and Susannah (Russell) Bales.  Her marriage on September 8, 1860 in Henry County, Indiana to Amos Main was found in the database.  Prior to this find, I knew the date of their marriage but not the location.

Nancy was my maternal third cousin six times removed.  Our common ancestors were John Beals and Sarah Bowater.  Nancy died September 17, 1866 in Blue River Township, Henry County, Indiana.  Nothing further is know about the family at this time.

Boater Bales (1838-1900), Henry County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Boater Bales (1838-1900) was the son of Aaron and Susannah (Russell) Bales.  His first name is likely a corruption of the Quaker surname Bowater.  However, it is clearly spelled Boader Bales in the marriage record found in Henry County, Indiana on March 24, 1864 in the database.  His wife's name is spelled 'Suphrona' Cory, rather than Saphrona Cory, which is how I had her in the database.  Prior to this find, I had the date of their marriage, but not the place.

Boater was my maternal third cousin six times removed.  Our common ancestors were John Beals and Sarah Bowater.  He died in 1900 in Blue River Township, Henry County, Indiana.  I have not researched the family further.
