Benjamin Vanhorn of Jefferson Co., IN
I am looking for the parents of Benjamin VANHORN b abt 1788 in PA.He is in the 1820, 1840 and 1850 censuses of Jefferson co., IN.I believe he is in the Rush Co., IN census for 1830.He was married at least twice, the final time to someone named Nancy.He and Nancy are in the 1850 census, where he is 62 and she is 54.So she was born abt 1796 in KY.Nancy is in the 1860 census of Jefferson co., IN, but Benjamin is not. I assume he died, but there is no record of his will there.
I believe that two other Vanhorns in the 1850 census of Smyrna Township,Jefferson co., IN are Benjamin's sons.They are Benjamin T. (or F.) who married Elizabeth ROBERTSON on Jan 4, 1849 in Jefferson co., IN; and Samuel who married Eliabeth C. MARSHALL there on March 20, 1845.
Benjamin and Elizabeth had Hannah born abt 1849 in Jefferson Co., IN.Samuel and Elizabeth had children Sarah A. abt 1846, and Benjamin T. abt 1848.
Benjamin b 1788 may have married Amy JACKSON on March 1, 1829 in Floyd County, IN. That would make Nancy, of the 1850 census, his third wife.
