Looking for information on William BOUSMAN, born sometime between 1845 to 1868. He had a brother named Hiram BOUSMAN. William married Ida JONES and had at least two children: William Earl BOUSMAN (b. 14 Mar 1889 in Delaware Co., IN; d. 16 Sep 1964) and Joseph BOUSMAN. William Earl BOUSMAN married Roxy GRAHAM and moved to Burt, Kossuth, Iowa, where he had two children - William Joseph BOUSMAN, and Lucille BOUSMAN. William Joseph BOUSMAN eventually came back to Indiana, marrying Janyce LIFE and settling in Muncie. I would greatly appreciate any info on these BOUSMANS.

It has been a while since you posted your inquiry. Your William Bousman had 7 brothers and sisters. Including Hiram and my g g grandfather Benjamin Keever. They moved to and lived in Blue River Township, Mooreland Indiana. They are on the 1870 census from Blue River Township in Henry Co. They parents were Joseph, a farmer and from Ohio, and a Lydia ?. No last name for Lydia. There are other Bousman's in that area who are related. Would you like to share more info.

Joan,

Thanks so much for your reply. It's been a really long time since I posted the query, and I would love to share more information with you. The Bousmans are my wife's family, and I've been trying to dig up information for them, but it hasn't come easily, especially since I live far from Indiana.

Please feel free to email me at jmstater0529@aol.com.

Thanks again,

John Stater

I am looking for the BOUSMAN family that took in a Ella Jenkins/Jenkinson as a s daug. Ella was born May 21,1875.
She used at different time last name Bousman-Jenkins-Jenkinson. Married to James Albert Brown and lived most of the time in or near Albany Ind. Delaware Co. She was born in Randolf Co.
Does this ring a bell with anyone???

Thanks Ellie Brown

Have you found any additional info on Ella???? I know she lived with Cyrus Bousman in 1870 in Saratoga IN and lived with Joseph Bousman in 1880 around Albany IN......She is an impportant link in my research.......I have found that she married James Albert Brown in Albany IN.... ON the birth certs of her children she listed 3 last names Jenkins, Jenkinson, and Bousman????? Do you have anything new.....Rolly Bousman
