William Huckleberry

Adeline Huckleberry is my great great grandmother. She married Benjamin Griffith in 1850 so she is on the Census with her husband not her parents. She died between 1870 and 1880 so there is no death certificate. I have not found where she is buried.

I found this article
http://myindianahome.net/gen/switz/records/history/Sigmon.html which gives the name of Adeline's sister as Lucinda. (However, I think it is Laurinda.) She died in 1902. I just got Laurinda's death certificate and it gives the name of her Father as William Huckleberry and her Mother's maiden name as Butchdnenon born in Indiana. So the last name can't possibly be right. By looking at rootsweb and myindianahome.net, I believe the last name is Buchanan.

William has either two or three wives. Not sure if Adeline and Laurinda have the same Mother as they are nine years apart in age. But at least I have the Father's name.
