I would like to find out what happened to the family of James J. Meeker after the 1860 census. Where there any other children besides Catherine? What happened to her?
1860 Census, Racoon Township, Parke Co. IN
James J. (Joralemon) Meeker 59, sawyer born NJ
Sarah A. 58 born "" (she was actually born in New York)
Catherine J. Meeker 17, born Illinois
Others in household Foley family and Abraham Coleman (not related as far as I know)
James J. Meeker was son of Jacob P. and Margaret (Joralemon) Meeker of Essex Co. NJ. James married Sarah Ann Everitt in New York City in 1823. The next information I have for them is in Vigo County, Indiana in 1850. (James, Sarah and daughter Catherine).
I have not found any other record of them between 1823 and 1850, or after 1860. Any hints appreciated.
