Re: William J. Truax of Kentucky?
I'm sorry, I meant Truax, not Whitehouse. I've been working on my husband's family and seem to be getting the names mixed up. Do you have any children for John Thomas Truax? I have Annie (my husband's line) and William David . Do you know who John Thomas married? Was it Mary Ann Hughes? Jill

Re: William J. Truax of Kentucky?
No firm sources, I'm afraid, but I have 2 possible names in my notes to look into: Mary Ann ADKINSON and Mary Ann HUGHES.
I really have not looked into John Thomas much--I descend from William John Truax via his daughter Letitia.

Re: William J. Truax of Kentucky?
Thanks for the info. I have Mary Ann Hughes, but I'll check out the other one also. Jill

Re: William J. Truax of Kentucky?
I decided to do a few quick searches out of curiosity.
In the 1900 census John Thomas Truax and his wife Mary Ann are living with an Oscar Engraham, listed as a grandson. In exploring the Kentucky death records, I found a death certificate for a Nancy Ellen Ingram (b. 4 Jan 1857; d. 28 Dec 1920 and widowed at time of death.) who lists her father and mother as John Thomas Truax (born in Kentucky) and Mary Ann Adkinson (born in Indiana). There is also a listing in the Indiana Marriage Collection for John T. Truax and Mary Ann Atkinson, date of marriage 21 Sep 1854 in Orange County IN (original record residing with the County Clerk in Book C- 4, OS 16).
Unless there were two different Marry Anns, I am willing to guess this pretty much decides it.
feel free to email me if you need any more info.

Re: William J. Truax of Kentucky?
Just wanted to let you know John Thomas did marry two different Mary Ann's. Adkinson first and then Hughes in 1869 Spencer County, Ky. I went to Big Springs Cemetery yesterday and they are both buried there with him. Jill

Re: William J. Truax of Kentucky?
awesome--thank you for the info. I was beginning to suspect another Mary Ann when I found the Mary Ann Hughes in the records.

Re: William J. Truax of Kentucky?
Very interested in the names of Obediah and Rachel Truax's family. I am trying to find the family of my Elizabeth Truax, born abt 1800 and died before 1850, who married Henry Vanmeter in Perry County, Indiana in 1817. Henry and Elizabeth are my 4th great grandparents. Their children were Miles, Nancy, Eleanor, Penelope, Obadiah, Zebulon, William, Elizabeth and Barsheba. Barsheba is my line. Any help is appreciated!!!
