John UPDEGRAFF
Spouse: Mary Hendren BOOKER
Marriage: Abt. 1825, Cass, Indiana

This marriage date is obviously a guess — and wrong because it appears
to be based on the false assumptions that William was the first child and
that all the children were born in Indiana.

These are the children of the 1850 census, so they've missed Julia and
Reuben, who were living independently. Based on the 1850 census,
and unless the 1850 census is wrong, only two of the children were born
in Indiana.

These are all the UPDEGRAFFs (or var.) living in Franklin Co. in 1850.
Checking the page images at Ancestry.com… The Charles UPDEGRAFF in Columbus
is age 20, born in Germany, so he is probably not related to our subjects
(living with him is Mary UPDEGRAFF, age 24, b. Germany, who may be his
wife or his sister). Emily UPDEGRAFF is a single woman, age 20, b.
OH, living in the RUSE household, probably as a domestic. I suspect
she may be the daughter of John & Mary who accidentally got enumerated
twice (it happens), once at home and once with her employer; otherwise,
it's quite a coincidence as neither name, Emily or UPDEGRAFF, is common.
Reuben (age 20, b. OH) is living in the household of his married sister,
Julia (UPDEGRAFF) SHERMAN (age 26, b. OH).

It's very hard to explain the hop from OH to IN and back to OH, but that
is what the record says. Is there census-taker error here?
The big clue here is son, Ambrose, which almost certainly identifies them
as descendants of Isaac UPDEGRAFF, in which family "Ambrose" was a common
given name. |
