Nicolle,
All I have on George W. Seagrave is from the census records, but I will list it in case you have missed something along the way.
He first appears as George, age 1, son of Torran and Rachel Seagrave in 1850 in Jackson Twp., Howard Co., IN.
In 1860, he is in Liberty Twp., Howard Co., IN as George, age 16 (probably an enumerator's mistake) with Parver and Jerusha Seagrave.Rachel must have died during the 1850s.
I have not completed my research of the 1870 census.
In 1880, George shows up on Main St., Greentown, Howard Co., IN, age 32, born in IN, with Rhoda, his wife, age 33; Lizzie P., his dau, age 12; Earl, his son, age 6; Artie, his son, age 3; and an infant son, age 3/12.On the same census page and the same house number on Main St. are John and Isabella Seagrave and family as well as Tarver A. and Mary Seagrave and family.John is 42 and Tarver A. is 27, so they are likely brothers of George.
In 1900, George W. Seagrave appears in Liberty Twp., Howard Co., IN as being born in April 1849 in IN.With him are Rhoda S., his wife, born in Mar 1848; Clyde V., his son, born in Mar 1880; Leo G., his son, born in Dec 1883; and Georgia L., his dau, born in Feb 1887.
That's all I have on George.Anything you can correct or fill in would be appreciated.
