Note: I got Elijah's and Minerva's children's names from
Isham's 1855 probate record;
Elijah's
first name is from Doris Gyarmati
(see note in 1850 census chart below).
Also, someone logged in Minerva's and Elijah's marriage date on this USGenNet website: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/in/county/orange/marriages/marrg.htm
The second entry above just HAS
to be Minerva Gwin--THANK you to this unknown researcher and
contributor! (:-)
Further, if both of these Elijahs are the same person--and I believe they are--then he was married twice, Minerva being his second wife. Many more related marriages from this good website are listed below as well.] |

From Goodspeed's ORANGE COUNTY HISTORY, 1884,
p. 624, Southeast Township, transcribed at right:
YOUNG L. STALCUP was born in this county September 30, 1848, being the oldest of seven children of Charles M. and Mary J. (Wright) Stalcup. The children of these parents were: Young L., Benjamin F., Isom G. (deceased), Ruth A., John W., Clara E. (deceased), and Rebecca (deceased). The parents were natives of Indiana, and were married about 1846, and were people of high respectibility. In August, 1861, the father enlisted in Company D., Sixty-sixth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and after faithfully following the fortunes of war, finally died in Andersonville Prison, December, 1863, a martyr of the slaveholders' rebellion. There his dust lies buried. His wife yet survives, at the age of about sixty-two years, and is a member of the Regular Baptist Church, and the wife of Henry Stalcup. Our subject lived with his mother until thirteen years of age, and then worked in various places in this State and Illinois, securing what education he could. At the age of twenty he began to teach, which business he followed until his marriage to Miss Charlotte M., daughter of James and Eleanor (Hollowell) Walker, February 18, 1877. These parents have five children: Cora A., James O., Benjamin G., Arlie O., and an infant deceased. Mr. Stalcup is a Republican, and is now Township Trustee, being elected in the spring of 1884. He owns seventy-two acres of land, and he and wife are members of the Christian Church.

MJWS m2. 9 Jul 1865 in Orange Co., IN, to Henry Stalcup (b. 21 Dec 1821 in Orange Co., IN {reported by descendant Thomas B. Agan; [age 58 in 11 Jun 1880 census of Stampers Creek, Orange Co., IN] in IN; [2d cous?]}; d. 9 Nov 1900 in Orange Co., IN); 4 ch., 6 total.; 5 ch., 14 total;[John M. Gwin Note: Cousin Doris Gyarmati correctly says that Henry and Mary Jane had four children. But since the 1880 census shows them with six, I wrongly assumed the older two are children of Charles and Mary Jane. This would make sense if Charles were a POW in Richmond, since he would not have been available to father any more children after ca. 1860. As it turns out, as reported by Cousin Thomas Agan, Henry was the widower of Elizabeth Denton--daughter of David and Elizabeth Gwin Denton (who died in 1865, according to Cousin Mary Goldman), and the two older children were his by his former marriage to Elizabeth. So Mary Jane turns out to be not only the stepmom to Sarah and Henrietta but also first cousin once removed to them as well! And Sarah and Henrietta (and their older siblings) are not only half-sisters to the four younger kids, they are also their second cousins! This is illustrated in the chart above. Perhaps Charles Stalcup died in prison (addendum, 3/18/2006: Indeed, Jim Wall writes today that he died in Andersonville in 1863); perhaps Mary Jane's second husband, Henry, is brother to Charles--and therefore is fulfilling his "scriptural obligation" to raise up children for his brother.]
