Looking for more sources for this guy

Question

This guy seems to be confused with another Jeremiah Jerry Wellman. Trouble is I cannot find any information about him or his wife besides the 1860 Census and the 1880 Census and his death certificate.

The death certificates for both guys give completely the wrong birth dates which makes matters even more confusing.

Comments

I added a family tree to Elisha's profile

Thank You for Lance helping out Chris

Here is the 1880 US Census for the other Jeremiah Wellman:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M6TC-C7W

On the census, it says he was born in 1852. Once you get more information for the Jeremiah who was the son of Elisha, you miay want to make a profile for this guy to avoid confusion in the future.

Answer 1

I added the 1870 Census.   I updated Family Search but they have two Jeremiah's, on is married to a Nelson Pheobe, but the who profile is unsourced.  Probably needs removed or merged.

FYI, transcribed as Williams but the family fits.

Living in Kentucky in 1900?  Widowed.

I believe this may be his brother Elisha.  More work needs done on his profile to see if his wife and children match.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-DYLC-1Y1?i=28&cc=1325221

This family is split over two pages and they were not transcribed as a family

Jerry and his sister Carrie are together on the next page with this family.

You need to add his siblings and work their families, such as Elisha.  I see and Elias that seems to match this family and Census on Family Search.

If things start lining up, then this Jerry is likely him when living in KY.

It looks like if you spend some time in Family Search and work out the relationships of his sibling Elisha, this may lead to his match to the Jerry who was married and Widowed/Divorced in Ky.  

You will get the 1900 and 1920 Census (I think I have that right?)

He dies in WV so we are speculating that he moved back afterwards.

age is wrong if he was born in 1858 he was only 12 in 1870

Thanks for your sources, but it is the other guy I am looking for.

The death and the census answer are two different families. The Jerry that died in 1938 did not marry Angeline
