Note

Note:

Sarah is not seen in all databases, but she certainly does belong here. She remarried - the marriage was recorded in Putnam Co on 24 Oct 1835 - to Nathaniel P. Watter [his name was actually Walter as shown by a deed of the John L. Harmon heirs in 1837]. Nathaniel P. Walter signed that deed in her right - he could not have done so if had not been married to one of the daughters of John L. Harmon.

In 1840, Nathaniel Walter is in the census in Pike Twp, Marion Co IN.

1m under 5, 1m 5-10, 1m 20-30, 1m 30-40. 1f -5, 1f 10-15, 1f 15-20, 1f 30-40.

The family apparently moved to Illinois soon after the 1840 census.

Nathaniel was a veteran of the Civil War, Co. E, 134th Illinois Infantry.

Nathaniel P. Walters had at least three children with Sarah (Harmon) Adams - possibly four, including a son who was less than five in 1840, but not living by 1850.. Following her death, he remarried to Mrs. Jane Erving in July 1869. They resided in Lee Co., Iowa and then Clark Co., Missouri by 1880.

Jane, age 36, keeping house, b. PA

Anna Erving, age 12, attending school, b. Iowa

Mary Erving, age 8, attending school, b. Iowa

1880 Census. Lincoln Twp, Clark Co, MO Hh 336

Nathaniel Walters, age 71, b. Ohio, parents b. VA

Margaret, age 51, wife, b. PA, as were her parents [was she Margarent Jane?]

Charles, age 9, son, b. Iowa

In the Indiana marriage base, I found the following possible marriages for the Adams children of Sarah Harmon:

Lydia Adams married Robert Doughty in Marion Co on 21 Aug 1836

Sarah Jane Adams married Ira B. Osborn, Marion Co, Nov 15, 1842

In 1850, an Ira B. Osborn was living in Hendricks Co IN - he was age 30, born in North Carolina, but his wife was listed as Lucinda E., age 22. There is a 2nd marriage for Ira B. to Lucinda Ray in Hendricks Co, 21 Aug 1846. Perhaps Sarah Jane Adams had died. There was a son, John M. age 6, who wasn't likely the son of Lucinda, and Lucetta J., age 1.

The only Robert Doughty I could find in Indiana in 1850, was a single man.
