John could be with them to be closer to school, to help at a time of illness or a variety of other reasons.]

Notes:

Died:
Emmaline's daughter, Ida Frances Roush, was born 11 Feb 1878. Ida's death certificate indicates that she was born in Carthage [Jasper County], Missouri. It is likely that Emmaline died of complications in childbirth, although we do not have her death date. It is also likely that her death occurred in Carthage.

Francis married Elizabeth Spade before 1837. Elizabeth was born in in Pennsylvania, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
The death certificate of John Roush indicates that his mother's name was Elizabeth Spade. It is unknown whether the Catherine found as Frank Roush's wife in the 1850 Lucas Co OH census is the same individual, or a second wife - or indeed, whether the info on the death certificate is correct.

Other Events:

• Note: The Eldora Cemetery has a stone for an S. B. Cunningham, who may or may not have been related to James Cunningham. No dates are offered on his stone, but his entry on FindAGrave offers the transcription of his biography in the 1883 History of Hardin County states that he was born in Pennsylvania to Samuel A. Cunningham and Julia A. Boyd, both natives of Maryland. The bio indicates that Julia A. (Boyd) Cunningham died at age 58 in Maryland, and Samuel A. Cunningham died in Indiana at age 98. James Cunningham's som William H. in the 1900 census indicates that his father was born in Maryland and his mother in Pennsylvania. Could these have been among the family members of James Cunningham?

(Research):A homestead file for a James Cunningham of St. Joseph Indiana exists. The land office was Fort Wayne, and the legal description "North half of the Northeast quarter of Section 15, Township 35, Range 7." Dated 24 April 1837. Containing 80 acres. Patented 20 Aug 1828. File no. 19051.

It is not clear whether or not this is our James Cunningham.

James married Martha Hayden on 13 Apr 1835 in Elkhart County, Indiana, USA. Martha (daughter of Zerah Hayden and Martha McClure) was born about 1812 in Elizabeth Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania; died on 30 Dec 1874. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Had an "Aunt Jane Hammon" (or HAMMOND?)

Notes:

Married:
Who is Sarah Cunningham, age 59, in the home of James in the 1870 census? Could it be Martha? The letter from her son indicates Martha's death in 1878. Could they have divorced and James remarried? Could it be an error on the part of the census enumerator?

George Hayden's letter to his niece Emeline Cunningham regarding her inheritance (dated 25 June 1878, from Eldora, Hardin County, Iowa), stated that the deceased "Aunt Jane Hammon" had left one-third of her estate to "the heirs of your grandmother." He went on to say "as your mother is now dead, you will be heir to one-sixth of one-fifth. . . . "

This makes it clear that in 1878 there were 6 living children of Martha (Hayden) Cunningham.
