My maternal 3rd-great grandaunt, Mary Ann BEALS, was born on this date in 1859 in Westfield, Hamilton County, Indiana.  Mary Ann was the daughter of John T. and Mary (DAVIS) BEALS, and the younger sister of my Nathan Thomas BEALS.  Mary Ann married February 27, 1884 to Joseph Edwin GILBERT, son of P.M. and Emily (________) GILBERT.  Joseph was born December 30, 1862 in Kewanne, Illinois.  They had 3 children and lived in Crawford County, Kansas and Kingfisher County, Oklahoma.  I do not have dates of death for either Mary Ann or Joseph.

My paternal 3rd-great grandaunt, Catherine PETRY, married on this date in 1810 to George MILLER.  Catherine was the daughter of George and Mary Catharina (KALTREIDER) PETRY, and the older sister of my Barbara PETRY.  Catherine was born April 9, 1790 in York County, Pennsylvania.  George was born March 30, 1786 in Mannheim Township, York County, Pennsylvania.  They had 7 children.  George died August 29, 1825 in York County, Pennsylvania.  Catherine died August 9, 1881 in Preble County, Ohio.

Sometimes an error isn't an error

One of the great things about RootsMagic is the ability to do a 'problem search' in my database. One of the bad things about the search is that my database seems to have too many errors. While some of them are from times when I've imported data from others, there are some that are there because I've created typos or just haven't been thorough in my research.

In trying to catch some of the errors, I ran the report to show those individuals in the database who died with an age greater than 100 years. The first individual listed was William Applegate, who showed at age 105 at death. I had his date of birth as circa 1733 in Burlington County, New Jersey and his death as circa 1838 in Corydon, Indiana. My sources for both of these loose dates were from "A history of Adams County, Ohio.." as below:

 

Granted, this may not be the best source, but it is a source nonetheless.  Will have to continue to look into old William to see if he really was 105 years of age, but for now, will ignore this supposed error in my RootsMagic database.

William is not a blood relative, but his daughter, Catherine, married Robert WRIGHT, my maternal 6th-great granduncle.  Apparently, the Wrights and the Applegates migrated together into the Brown County, Ohio area in the early 1800s.  More to research.

Family Milestones: March 26th

My maternal 5th-great grandmother, Mary Ann NOSLER, was born on this date in 1803 in Virginia, or perhaps not.  Another source has conflicting dates.  Mary was the daughter of Conrad and Sarah (PAINS) NOSLER.  She married circa 1820 in Anderson County, Tennessee to David CROCKETT, son of Alexander and Elizabeth (WATKINS) CROCKETT.  David was born circa 1794 in Virginia.  They had 8 children.  David died August 1854 in Owen County, Indiana.  Mary Ann died August 7, 1872 in Owen County, Indiana.

My paternal 3rd-great grandaunt, Margaret JACOBS, married on this date in 1863 in Wayne County, Ohio to Benjamin DREIBLEBEIS.  Margaret was the daughter of David and Barbara (BYERS) JACOBS, and the younger sister of my Susan JACOBS.  Margaret was born February 11, 1839 in Congress Township, Wayne County, Ohio.  I do not have dates of birth or death for Benjamin.  Margaret died October 9, 1913.  Nothing further is known at this time.
