Hello,

I am desperately seeking the family of my great-great-grandmother, Mary E. Waters.

Mary was born c 1848 in KY. On 24 Jun 1865 she married Martin L. Mullinix/Mullenix/Mullennix in Putnam Co., IN.

A short time after her marriage her family, who had apparently been upset at her marriage, moved to Missouri, possibly Clay Co. The family story told to me was, that after a tearful goodbye, Mary and her family never saw each alive again.

Sometime between Jun 1865 and Apr 1875 when Mary died, her mother died and I have been told that a record was found in Clay Co., MO that indicated Mary and husband, Martin, travelled to MO to settle the estate. However, when I attempted to duplicate that research and verify the information Clay Co., MO officials were unable to provide any information.

Mary and Martin had three children: Rosa E(tta), b 1866; Johnny V., b 17 Nov 1867; and Lillian, b c 1872. Johnny drowned in May 1876 and is buried at Manhattan Cemetery, Putnam Co., IN with his mother.

I need to establish who Mary's parents were and I cannot find anyone in the 1860 or 1870 census records that appear to be her or her family.

Can you help me get past this brick wall?
