Lor,

I am still researching the family mystery. Our family history tell us that
Mary (Darst) McCarty died in 1859 with most of her children from some sort of
outbreak. Then her grave shows up with this:

Pleasant Hill Cemetery
McCarty, Mary, Born December 26, 1822, died June 3, 1901, aged 78y 5m 7d.

Then she shows up in a 1860 Jay County, Madison Township census.

So now we are wondering if our gg grandfather Moses McCarty divorced her and
she did not die when we thought. He remarried Elizabeth Ann Cummins in 1865
in Spencer County, IN. I actually directly descend from his second marriage.

I would like to find her in other census's after 1860 to establish that she
really did not die until 1901.
