Kentuckiana Genealogy: County: Jennings Co., Indiana: Gilbert Family in Jennings County

By Pat Kirchhoff (12.74.178.217) on Thursday, February 19, 2004 - 10:47 am:

I am looking for the family of Herman Gilbert and Cinthia Sample. They lived in Jennnings County at the time of the 1860 and 1870 census. From info I was given Herman died in Jennings County 4 Sep 1876. I do not have a death date for Cinthia, but she was alive in 1870. I am particularly interested in obituaries and tombstone records for Herman and Cinthia.

They were in Ohio in 1850, names appearing on 1850 census:

1) Hiram Gilbert, 56, m, farmer, $350 RE, New York
2) Cynthia Gilbert, 56, f, N Carolina
3) Catherine Gilbert, 24, f, Indiana
4) Martha Gilbert, 23, f, Ohio
5) Medad Gilbert, 21, m, Ohio
6) Mary Gilbert, 21, f, Ohio
7) Albina Gilbert, 14, f, Ohio, attended school
8) Cynthia Gilbert, 11, f, Ohio, attended school

Not liiving in the household at that time was Wellington Gilbert, born about 1824-1825. He later moved to Kansas with his family. He is my 3rd great grandfather.
