This is where I have some confusion. I have information that tells me Basheba married Joseph Blount, then other information that tells me she married John Blount. The date is the same for both marriage date is the same for both. Any idea if this man's name is John Joseph, or Joseph John?
I am related to the Twibell's through my Dad's Dad, and to the Blount's on my Dad's Mom's side of the family. Can you help me with this line of Blount's?

JOHN H. BLOUNT was born near Dalton, Wayne County, Indiana, October 7, 1822, a son of Andrew R, and Sarah (Warren) Blount. Andrew R. Blount was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh, but when a boy of seven years old his parents moved to Kentucky, where they lived about ten years, and in 1805 moved to Nolan’s Fork, Wayne County, Indiana, his father, William Blount, being one of the first settlers of Wayne County. During the war of 1812, Andrew R. enlisted and served three years. After the war he moved to White River, across from Smithfield , but subsequently returned to Wayne County. He was married soon after his return from the war, near Economy, to Sarah Warren. In 1822 they moved to Henry County, and in the spring of 1836 to Blackford County, where Mr. Blount had bought and entered a tract of land in the woods, only two acres of which was cleared. At that time the only timber was large, the Indians keeping the underbrush cleared out. Mr. Blount was a good hunter and fine marksman, and his son John H. attended eight shooting matched with him one fall, when he won nine beef hides and made over $40 by his shooting. He remained in Blackford County until 1864, when his son Warren, who lived in Henry County, persuaded him to move there, and when he was on his way he was taken sick and died at the age of seventy-two years. The mother died in 1874. They had a family of thirteen children, but four of whom are living – John, Warren, Andrew A. and Sarah. Both are buried near the old home in Henry County. John H. Blount was but fourteen years old when his parents moved to Blackford County, and here he was reared and has since lived. When he was about sixteen years old he went with Jake Brugh and his young son to Carter’s mill, above Eaton, but the river being dry they could get no grinding done. They then went to Muncie with the same result. They then went to Blountville, and from there five miles further to a brother-in-law’s of Mr. Blount, John Fisher, who went with them to a man named Thornburg, who had some flour he had got ground at Milton, and after much argument he was persuaded to let the boys have some in exchange for their wheat. Mr. Blount was married in September, 1841, to Eliza Markins, a native of Lawrence County, Ohio, daughter of Thomas and Frances (Sumter) Markins, who located in Blackford County in 1837, where the father died in 1859, aged seventy years, and the mother in 1881, aged eighty-two years. Mrs. Blount has a cover-lid, which is made of cotton raised, carded, spun and woven by her mother over fifty years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Blount have had thirteen children, nine of whom are living. James died at the age of nineteen years and nine months; Richard, aged three years and five months; Bertie, aged two years and seven months, and Emma, aged one year. Sarah Frances is the wife of Roswell Jackson, and lives in Lincoln County, Kansas; Mary Etta, wife of Henry Danenower of Howard County, Indiana; Andrew, of Delaware County, Indiana; Rachel, wife of Reuben Lewis; Lorenzo W., Nancy, wife of Cyrus Lewis, and John, live in Harrison Township. Mr. Blount has been a life-long Democrat, although now he is inclined toward the principles of the National Greenback party. Mrs. Blount was a member of the Christian church over thirty years, and then with her husband joined the Society of Friends, and since its disbandment they have united with no church. They have been residents of Blackford County over half a century, and witnessed every change it has undergone in transforming it from a wild uncultivated forest to a state of advanced civilization. Mrs. Blount is the only woman that ever killed a deer in Blackford County, her victim being a large animal with long antlers, and her weapon being an ax.

HARRISON TOWNSHIP
John Blount was probably the pioneer of Harrison township, locating in the south bank of the Salamonia, in 1833. His first wife, Rachel, died in 1855 at the age of fifty-six, and he then married the Widow Jarrett, a daughter of John Twibell and about 1872 removed to Kansas. His brother, Andrew R., came in 1836 and lived southeast of Montpelier. Two other brothers, Joseph and Thomas, came near the same time and afterwards went to Wells county. John Twibell came from Virginia in the spring of 1836 with his wife Elizabeth , and his sons, David and Josiah. He was born in Ireland March 14, 1760, and served in the British army in the Revolutionary war, but toward the close of the war deserted to the Americans and remained in the country. David and Josiah located on the north side of the Salamonia, north of Montpelier, their sister, Martha McCullock, locating further down the river in Wells county. A younger brother, Thomas, married a daughter of John Blount, and lived many years two and one-half miles southeast of Montpelier. Rachel McGeath, another daughter of John, was the wife of Lewis H. McGeath. They resided two miles west of Montpelier. John Twibell died July 21, 1853; he was blind for a few years prior to his death. His wife died four years earlier at the age of seventy-eight years. David Twibell died August 13, 1855, being nearly sixty-three years of age, Margaret, his widow, died in 1864. Josiah Twibell was an active and enterprising man in public affairs. He was one of the early commissioners of the country, was a candidate for the legislature in 1852 and 1854, and was the first captain of Company I, Thirty-fourth Regiment Indiana Volunteers. He died January 27, 1874, aged sixty-seven years and five months. In 1836 and 1837 a considerable number of emigrants cane from Vermont and settled in and around the territory now included in the city of Montpelier. Abel Baldwin was the leading spirit among them. He was born in the town of Cavendish, Windsor county, Vermont in 1790. His father’s name was Abel and his grandfather’s name was Isaac. His maternal grandfather, Captain John Coffeen, was the first white settler in the town of “Cavendish”. Mr. Baldwin acquired a good education and was successful school teacher. He was in the army in the war of 1812. With his family he left Vermont in October 1836, and came through the state of New York, and by water to Detroit and on to this county by way of White Pigeon and Goshen; his brother, Franklin G. Baldwin, and Joseph Streeter and David Pierce started from Vermont in September and came through in wagons. With them came Newton and Kendall Putnam and their father, who settled across the line in Wells county. Nearly all these family is were related in some way to the Baldwins. The following year the Spauldings came also from Vermont. Judge Isaac Spaulding was a fine scholar and an excellent citizen; he was a half brother to Jesse Spaulding, the father of the other Spauldings who came who were John C., Franklin B., Francis G., Salome, Stephen S., and Freeman H., and their widowed mother, Sarah Spaulding. Abel Baldwin laid out and platted the town of Montpelier, September 5, 1837. It contained sixteen blocks and a total of one hundred and fifty-four lots. The lines of the original plat do not run north and south lines run north eighteen degrees east, and the east and west lines run south seventy-two degrees east. Abel Baldwin died August 16, 1839. His widow, Rhoda S., afterwards married Judge Spaulding, who lived but a year or two after their marriage. Of the children the oldest, Marthesia, became the wife of John J. Cook, one of the early county officers; Rhoda S., married Amos Perry, who came from Vermont; John Baldwin was postmaster at Montpelier during the Whig administration of Taylor and Filmore and died recently in Nebraska; Charles P. went to Howard county; Edward P., one of the early county surveyors, died while a young man; Henry C. received a fine education from his step-father, Judge Spaulding, and is now a resident of Kansas, and the only member of the family living. The younger children were Hortense R. and Zada L. John D. Waugh came from Vermont and located two miles west of Montpelier, in June, 1837, bringing with him his son, James, and a daughter, Eliza Ann; in the summer of 1838 he was taken sick with intermittent fever and died July 3. His family was then on their way here and arrived in August. His father was a Revolutionary soldier and lost his life in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Oscar B. Boon with his mother and sister, came from Vermont in 1845; the mother was a native of Massachusetts and a sister of the Widow Spaulding previously mentioned. Thomas Hulett was also from Vermont and was here before the county was formed; he was a Methodist class-leader, and an ardent Whig. Other Vermonters among the early settlers were Thomas H. Edson, Nathan C. Rice, Samuel Brown, a soldier of 1812, John S. Bliss, Thomas Eaton, Ira Rice and Abel Byam. William Ellsworth, a New Yorker and his wife Betsey (Platt), came to Abel Bladwin’s in Montpelier, in September 1837, and built the second house in that village. In March or April, 1839, they moved to their land, three and one-half miles east of Montpelier, which was thence forth their home. William died in February, 1893, lacking a month of being eighty years old. Lyman Simpson, a Massachusetts man, was among the first in the vicinity of Montpelier. His wife having died he married Clarissa Putnam, a sister of Abel Balwin and widow of Kendall Putnam, who died in 1838. Simpson built the water power, grist, and saw-mill, a mile east of Montpelier. In the spring of 1839 Michael Maddox settled on the tract of land north of the river about two miles east of Montpelier; his son Joseph C., then recently married, had preceded him a few years. Michael died September 10, 1845, seventy-two years of age; his son-in-law, Charles Mays, came about the same time and his son Silas located in Hartford City soon after. Of his other sons, Wesley H., is in Wells county; William McK, and Wilson went to Nebraska, and James J. died recently in Hartford City. Henry Householder and Daniel Wood were for a time near neighbors of Michael Maddox. Mr. Householder died in the fall of 1842. About a mile further east John Wells located in May, 1839, coming from Guernsey county, Ohio, but being a native of Pennsylvania, where he was born in 1800. He was a tanner and carried on that business extensively while clearing up and cultivating his farm. His wife, Sarah, was a sister of Michael Teterich, who lived some four miles south of them. James McF. Wells is the oldest child of the family, and at age of seventy-four years, is still living on a part of the land once owned by his father. The oldest daughter, Martha, married William Clevenger, another pioneer in that neighborhood. Just north of John Wells was Elihu Hillis, and a mile further north, in the northeast corner of the county, Hyman and Darius Shinn located in the fall of 1841. Across the river south of the Maddox farm, William Crossan settled about the time that Maddox and Wells came. He was from Pennsylvania, and died in 1856 at the age of sixty years. Josuha B. Cass and John B. Gouldsberry were among the first in this township, as were also David Fox, Joseph Penrod, Thomas Simonton, John Ferrin, Emanuel Hirst, Robert Duffee, Samuel Wilson, James Bowman,, Joseph C. David, David Daugherty, Elias Hawkins, William Wilson and John and Benjamin Lowrey. In the southwestern part of this township George H. Houser must have been one of the first settlers. Soon after the county was formed he was elected a commissioner. Like the ancient Nimrod, he was a mighty hunter. He could take his gun and go out into the forest and bring in a deer of any age or description that might be desired; he was a zealous member of the Methodist church and was probably an exhorter. The writer remembers of seeing him once or twice at religious meetings at Montpelier or at the residence of Michael Maddox, and remembers how he sung with an enthusiastic abandon that was inspiring, while he displayed conspicuously a single very large front tooth. John Houser, another pioneer, was his son; one of his daughters married Jonathan Havens, and another married Arthur Badley, a young Methodist itinerant, who later years was presiding elder in Iowa.
William Cale and his son Conrad and their wives, Elizabeth and Barbara, were all native Germans, as were Lewis, Peter and Christain Hiser, Margaret, the wife of the latter being born on the sea. Thomas Markin and his wife, Frances (Sumter), came from Lawrence county, Ohio, to this township in February, 1837. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, had been a justice of the peace in Ohio and was one of the first justices in Blackford county. George Sumter, who came with them, was the brother of Mrs. Markin. Jose K. Hobson and Elzy Silor (or Sailor) were in this neighborhood and Abraham Thompson. Robert Hays and David Hughes, the miller, Joseph Beymer and William Davidson were other first settlers. John Beal, school teacher and associate judge, went to Missouri. Michael Teterich was one of the first in southeast Harrison township, coming from Guernsey county, Ohio. His family suffered a calamity similar to that which twelve years later befell the Covault family. John Teterich, a son of Michael, took away a drove of horses in the spring or summer of 1847, and on his return took down with typhoid fever and soon died. In the course of a few days the mother, three daughters and the other son, Jacob, were all taken away by the same terrible disease. Jacob was engaged and was soon to have been married to a daughter of William Davidson. He was taken sick at her home and died there and she took the fever and died soon after, and three of Andrew R. BluntÂ’s daughters became the victims of the plague about the same time. The neighborhood was alarmed. This form of disease was comparatively new and little understood, and was spoken of as the teterich fever. In some other families there were a few cases somewhat similar and the neighbors were afraid to go near to render any assistance. Michael Teterich was left alone, his family being swept away, with the exception of his married daughters, Elizabeth Paxson and Sarah Hays. He survived until June 1848, when he died at the home of his sister and brother-in-law, Sarah and John Wells.
James Havens was another pioneer of this corner of the township, and also his sons, Selay and Jonathan; his daughter Nancy, was the wife of Joseph Reymer. Mr. Havens died about the end of the year 1849. There was also the Liestenfeltz family, Conrad and Susanna, and their children, Jacob and Daniel being natives of Germany. The other children were Peter M., Catherine Conrad and Susanna.
