Wheatcraft, Daniel Groen, Naoma 31 May 1832 Perry Co.

It's conceivable that "Groen" is a misreading of "Ervin" or "Erwin."

1b. Jordan R. Dodd, ed. 1993. Indiana Marriages: Early to 1850. Liahona Research, Orem, UT (Broderbund CD-228):

Friend, Nicholas Wheatcraft, Naomi 9 Apr 1840 Blackford Co.

2. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1840 (Broderbund CD-316):

1840 Freend, Nicholas IN Blackford Co. Licking Twp. p. 58

He is the only FRIEND (or var.) in the county. There is no ERWIN, IRWIN, GREEN, or GROEN in the county.

3. Census Microfilm Records: Indiana, 1850 (Broderbund CD-302): District No. Fifty-Two, Huntington Co., IN, p. 13B,177/177, enumerated 8 Aug 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Nicholas Friend 40 m Farmer 600 Ohio

Nancy      " 38 f Maryland

David H Wheatcraft 17 m Farmer Ohio

John F Friend 9 m Indiana

Samuel    " 7 m Indiana

James     " 5 m Indiana

William M " 1 m Indiana

Michael Corbet 22 m Farmer Ireland

Edward    " 1 m "

Was Naomi called Nancy? Is this census-taker error? David must be Naomi's son by her first marriage. Michael CORBET appears to be a widower with his only son, his wife probably having died in childbirth; he appears to have no relation to Nicholas or Nancy.
