Notes

The following is quoted from Biographical and Genealogical History of Cass, Miami, Howard and Tipton Counties, Indiana: v. 2.

"Jesse Overman... was married in Preble county, Ohio, June 14, 1810, to Keziah Stubbs, whose birth occurred in Georgia, July 19, 1790. Her parents, Nathan and Elizabeth Stubbs, and their family, were also connected with the Friends' church, and at an early day emigrated from Georgia to Preble county, Ohio, where the father became one of the substantial farmers of the locality. Nathan Stubbs, of a German family, was born the 10th month, 11th day, 1758, and died the 4th month, 26th day, 1835, respected by all who knew him. His wife, Elizabeth, was born the 3d month, 19th day, 1767, and died the 6th month, 7th day, 1828... He reached the venerable age of eighty-seven years, and died September 21, 1869, at the home of his son Elijah, in Miami county. His wife passed away in Wayne county, September 21, 1835.

"The children who came to bless the union of Jesse and Keziah Overman were as follows: Henry, born the 5th month, 3d day, 1811; Eli, born the 7th month, 8th day, 1812, and died the 2d month, 17th day, 1893, aged eighty years, seven months and nine days; Elizabeth, born the 1st month, 2d day, 1814, and died when about ten years old; William, born the 2d month, 7th day, 1816; Rachel, born the 12th month, 5th day, 1817, married Josiah Haisley, and is now deceased; Rebecca, born the 5th month, 10th day, 1819, married Ira Haisley, and died the 2d month, 19th day, 1897; Ephraim, born the 9th month, 23d day, 1820; Nathan, 7th month, 14th day, 1822; Enoch and Elijah, twins, 2d month, 1st day, 1824; Joseph, 9th month, 6th day, 1826; Hannah, born 12th month, 14th day, 1828, married Calvin Edgerton, and died the 4th month, 14th day, 1889; and Mary, born the 9th month, 17th day, 1830, and died the 1st month, 17th day, 1865."

Above is the source for Nathan & Elizabeth as Keziah's parents and adds to or confirms data from other sources. This states that Nathan Stubbs was "of a German family." The Blackburn site, however, gives several generations of ancestors, all from Worcester and Gloucester, England. At this point, I have no reason to consider either source more definitive. The Blackburn site gives more details (names, places, dates) but the book cited above is a more contemporary record (1898). The Blackburn site also gives her birth date as 20 Apr 1768, but has only the year, 1828, of her death. The exact date of death is from the book quoted above.

Nathan and Elizabeth (Jones) Stubbs are my 5xg-grandparents and I will probably enter the rest of their children and their descendants at some future date. For now, I have entered only Keziah (Stubbs) Overman, my direct-line ancestor (4xg-grandmother). - FR
