I am searching for information concerning my great-great grandmother Susannah Plake (or Pleake) who was born about 1828 in Indiana. She married Eli Stucker who was the son of Willis Stucker and was born in September 1821. Eli and Susannah were married in Jefferson County, Indiana, on 19 June 1845. (This Eli should not be confused with his slightly older uncle Eli who was the son of Henry Stucker and was born in 1818 and married Esther Ann Plake in Jefferson County, Indiana, on 7 February 1839.)
Eli and Susannah (Plake) Stucker had the following children:
George (1849)
William Calvin (1851)
Jasper N. (1852)
Worcester (1855)
Mary Margaret (1858)
Sarah (1859)
Elizabeth (1862)
Emma Bell (1863)
Addie (1865)
Etta (1868)
John (?)
Mattie (?)
Jasper N. Stucker was my great-grandfather. He married several times. His second wife, Mary Elizabeth Bivens, gave birth to my grandmother Mattie Alice Stucker in 1882.
Mattie Alice Stucker married George Fred Stearns in Bartholomew County, Indiana, in 1907 and moved from southeastern Indiana to Vincennes, Indiana, the same year. My father George Harold Stearns was born in 1922 and died in Vincennes in 1993.
If anyone has information they are willing to share, please contact me at:
