Research notes
In 1850 Marilla Sharp (15, b. OH) is listed in the Windsor, WI (Dane County) household of Cornelius Sharp (49, b. VT, farmer) and Lydia Sharp (49, b. CT).
In 1860 Amos Forster (Foster, 37, b. OH, farmer) was a head of household in Burke, WI (Dane County) with Marrilla Foster (24, b. OH) and Mary Foster (6, b. WI).
In 1870 Jas A. Barnes (40, b. IN, farmer) was a head of household in Dix, IL (Ford County) with Marilla J. Barnes (29, b. OH), Ellen F. Barnes (10, b. WI), Charles S. Barnes (3, b. IL), James H. Barnes (1, b. IL), Joseph J. Barnes (11, b. IL), John H. Barnes (9, b. IL), and Jane A. Barnes (62, b. KY).
In 1880 James Barnes (50, b. IN, farmer, both parents b. IN) was a head of household in Dix, IL (Ford County) with wife Morilla Barnes (40, b. OH, both parents b. OH), son Joseph Barnes (11, b. IL, farmer, father b. IN, mother b. OH), John Barnes (19, b. IL, farm laborer, mother b. OH), son Oliver Barnes (17, b. IL, farm laborer, mother b. OH), son Simon Barnes (13, b. IL, mother b. OH), son James A. Barnes (11, b. IL, mother b. OH), and daughter Sarah E. Barnes (7, b. IL, mother b. OH).
In 1900 James A. Barnes (b. Jan 1827, b. IN, farmer, married 34 years, father b. NC, mother b. KY) headed a Dix, IL (Ford County) household with wife Marilla Barnes (b. Oct 1826 in OH, married 34 years, 6 children with 3 living, father b. PA, mother b. CT). Their daughter Ellen Ashmore and her children were living in the next household on the census.
In 1910 J. A. Barnes (80, b. IN, farmer, married (for second time) 44 years, father b. NC, mother b. KY) headed a Dix, IL (Ford County) household with wife Marilla Barnes (b. Oct 1826 in OH, married (for second time) 44 years, 3 children with 2 living, father b. PA, mother b. CT), and daughter Ellen Ashmore (49, b. WI, widowed, 9 children with 7 living, both parents b. OH). Ellen may have been adopted by James, as she was older than the tenure of the marriage of James and Marilla and Marilla is listed with a second marriage.
Marilla's first husband, Amos Ross Foster died in the Battle of Atlanta 5 Aug 1864.[1]
