Are you researching the Duckworth family of Shelby County from the 1850's? According to the marriage index
for Shelby County, Susan Ann Evans married James Duckworth on July 4, 1851. Since the Duckworth family lived
near the Nicholas and Margaret Evans family, I believe that the Susan Evans who married James was the same Susan
who was their daughter. I would appreciate discussing the possibility with a Duckworth family researcher.

her son Benjamin and his wife Hannah Snow in 1816 for Dearborn Co., Indiana. But she may have spent time

Do you have record of any of these people? Cemetery, wills, the like? Thanks so much for your help - Joy

btwn 1840 and 1842 from Bavaria Germany. Married to Anna then to Margaret sometime after 1856 I think. William
had dependants other than his children named Fred Omer and John Lenox living in the household in
