| A | BRANN | Mary A. | Not sure who this is. It is possible that this is a daughter of Richard Brann and Charlotte G. Brann, who's stone is nearby. This stone is broken and there is no age, so it is difficult to determine when this child was born, but there was a daughter named Mary listed in the household of Richard L. Brann in the 1860 census mentioned above who was born about 1846 in Ohio. | |||||
| A | DUNCAN | Sarah A. | Not sure who this is. There is a Sarah A. Duncan listed in the household of William W. Duncan in the 1860 Marion Township Census, but the age is off by about five years. I can find no record of a Sarah marrying a W. Duncan or a William W. Duncan marrying anyone in Indiana in the age range of this Sarah. | |||||
