See note below, ^[1]

1860 Dist #3 Hawkins Tennessee

Daniel Delph age 84 Farmer VA... (wrong)

Margaret Delph Age 64 N.CAROLINA

Mary Delph age 30 domestic TENN.

Martha Delph Age" "

Malissa Delph age 24 " "

George Delph age 14 Tenn

Andrew J. Age 5 Tenn

Anderson Delph AGE 22 F.L. Tenn

NOTE The 1850 census has Daniel/Margaret both born North Carolina and the kids names match. So I feel this IS the correct Daniel/ Margaret. The 4 girls are still unmarried..the ages match the kids dates of birth that we have.

Martha on the census probably the Jane on the 1850?

And here is Malissa that was not listed on the 1850???

and George born 1846...

that would be #12 OR maybe he is a grandson?

Turns out I believe he is, Jacob/Mary's son. and there is an Andrew J. (Jackson) maybe he is a grandson?

there is one on the 1850, but 5 years old??? on the 1850 census he is 14 years old so here he should be 24 not 5...and who is the ANDERSON DELPH age 22? maybe he is a grandson?

We can narrow down the family move to Indiana as being after Sept. 1860 when Daniel died & before 1864 when Andrew J Delph/Margaret's (Margaret born in Indiana) first child, Esther was born in Indiana, as per 1870 census. Also A.J. Jr was born Tennessee. and his dad joined the WAR in Tenn. 1862 and out in 1863. And A.J. Newberry, Margaret's husband died in Indiana 1866.

Marriage

Mother-in-law of Margratia (Slaughter) Delph (findagrave. 16023009) (who was wife of Andrew Jackson Delph).

1870 Adams, Madison County, Indiana [1]

Delph, Andrew J. age 34 Farmer TENN

Delph, Margaret (wife?) age 31 keeping house Indiana

" Esther A age 7 at home Ind.

" Lurah A. age 4 Ind.

" Ralph age 3/12 Ind

Newberry, A.J Male age 15 farm laborer TENN

NEXT LINE and next door is:

Delph, Margaret age:74 Keep house blind W.VA. (???)

Delph, Mary age: 40 at home W.VA (?)

Newberry, M. Female age 46 at home W.VA(?)

(I think the state born on these people is wrong should be N.C for Margaret the age is right 1796 & Mary never got married, her age is right 1830 TENN

"Newberry M. Female age: 46"

"Newberry, Margaret married A.J Newberry 1830" age is not quite right s/b 1828, living with Andrew J is "Newberry, A.J. age 15". MUST be JR. Margaret's son by A.J., so he was born in Tenn in 1855..and they made the move with Mom/brother.

1. ↑ Note: no relationships are shown, we do believe the age for the first Margaret is wrong. the place of birth is correct for the wife- Margaret Couch-Delph born in North Carolina, her age s/b 52 not 22. and then I assume the 6 teenagers listed would be their kids, the last one listed is definitely WILSON (Male) not Melissa (Female) 1838.
