24 Feb 2021

Marriage*	He married Adele P. "Ada" Marsh, daughter of Ross Anderson Marsh and Eliza Downey, on 7 March 1895 in Ohio Co., Indiana. My preliminary research suggests their only child was Ethel Naoma Peasley (c1895- ). In the 1900 census she's 4 yo with her parents in Indianapolis. In the 1910 she's 13 yo niece in the home of Smith & Ada Peasley. Smith is presumably one of her father Albert's brothers.1,2

Birth*	Mary was born circa 1863 in Scotland. In the 1920 census Mary is born in Scotland as were both her parents. She immigrated in 1890 and became a naturalized citizen in 1909. The 1930 census shows Mary born in Illinois, her father in Scotland, and her mother in Illinois. The additional details provided by the 1920 make it the more plausible of the two censuses.1,3

Census1920	Mary and George appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Chicago 9th Ward, Cook Co., Illinois, enumerated 26 January 1920, as 57 yo unemployed Annie & 65 yo railroad signalman George Downey.

Birth*	William was born on 4 August 1880 in McConnellburg, Fulton Co., Pennsylvania, s/o John M Lathero & Harriet Lynch.2
Marriage*	He married Lillian Rhoda Downey, daughter of George Bruce Downey and Harriet A. Conaway, on 6 November 1901 in Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois. My preliminary research suggests their only child was Norman Charles Lathero (c1905-a1939). FSTrees claims one other child, Mary Lathero (1896-1898) but I find no evidence for her. FSTrees's death year for Norman is 1919 but that's clearly incorrect as his mother is living with him in both the 1930 & 1940 censuses.1,3
Marr-Divorce*	William was divorced from Lillian Rhoda Downey before 5 May 1910.4
Death*	William died in 1953.2

Marriage*	He married Emeline H. "Emma" Mulford, daughter of John C. Mulford and Osee Morgan, on 8 November 1876 in Clarinda, Page Co., Iowa.

Marriage*	She married George P. Mulford, son of James Mulford and Esther Jane Pool, on 27 August 1872 in Champaign Co., Ohio. My preliminary research suggests their children were Alta O (1872- , m. Clyde Schwaner 1901), John Henry (1875- ), and George W Mulford (1880- ). Amanda's obit of Jan 1900 says a son and a daughter survived her.

Birth*	Hepzibah was born on 8 August 1845 in Jay Co., Indiana.2
Marriage*	She married George P. Mulford, son of James Mulford and Esther Jane Pool, on 17 November 1901. The Indiana Marriages entry with Hattie as 'Hattie née Hoover' is the more compelling and I've used it's date. Hattie's m1 according to Find A Grave was Morgan B Lewis (1837-1898).3,4,1,2

24 Apr 2024

Birth*	Elbert, son of Arthur Monfort Morgan and Rebecca K. Mulford, was born on 6 August 1859 in Ft. Jefferson, Darke Co., Ohio. His CA Death Index record & Find A Grave both give a birthdate of 06 Aug 1859. That conflicts with his age in the 1870 census. The headstone says only 1859. Have to assume the census is wrong.3,1,4,2
Census1870	Elbert appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Perry Twp., Shelby Co., Ohio in the household of his parents, Arthur Monfort Morgan and Rebecca K. Mulford, as 9 yo Elbert M Morgan.2
