Residence 1860: Bromettsville Jackson Township, White, Indiana, United States. [1]

Research Notes

NOTE: Date of birth is not supported by any documents other than her headstone. Date has been reverse calculated based on the headstone's inscription listing Minerva's age on the date of her death.

NOTE: Place of birth may have been Tippecanoe County, Indiana - however no documentation has been located to support that location as her place of birth.

Photograph of tombstone available at findagrave.com shows engraving indicating Minerva was a little over 20 years old when she died, but no specific date of birth is listed for her. Estimated year of birth is 1840. [2]

1860 US Census shows a Manerva McConahay living with Ranson, Elizabeth and James McConahay, but she is listed as being (5/12) 5 months old. The 1860 US Census page shows it was enumerated on July 5, 1860, indicating the census was completed 4 or so months after Minerva died in February 1860. If the Manerva on the Census is actually 4-5 months old at the time the 1860 US Census was completed, then it is could be possible Minerva Russell died from childbirth complications and this 5 month old Manerva is James A McConahay's daughter.
