ROUSE/THRELKELD--Searching for descendants of George J. ROUSE (born about 1841-1843 in Indiana; died after 1870) who married Amanda McMULLEN (born about 1841 in Indiana; died after 1880) on 18 February 1863 in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana. They were in the 1870 census in Aroma, Kankakee County, Illinois, with daughters Julia (born about 1866 in Illinois) and Etie (born about 1869 in Illinois). Amanda Rouse remarried to Edmund C. MARINE/MERINE (born about 1832 in Indiana; died after 1880) on 25 October 1877 in Kankakee County, Illinois and they are in the 1880 census in Howard County, Nebraska, with daughters Julia (born about 1865 in Illinois) and Luella (born about 1875 in Illinois).
George J. Rouse was the son of Joel Albert Rouse (born about 1814 in Virginia; died after 1880). George had several siblings:
--Hiram J. “Jack” Rouse (born about 1834 in Indiana; died after 1870)—married Phoebe ARTHUR (born about 1838-1844 in Ohio) on 1 January 1861 in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.
--Louis Napoleon Rouse (born about 1838 in Indiana)--married 1) Hannah PITCHER (his first cousin) on 8 January 1859 in Edgar County, Illinois; 2) Mrs. Mary Ann (HANCOCK) BILYARD on 19 August 1891 in Kankakee County, Illinois.
--Elizabeth Kesiah Rouse (born about 1842 in Indiana; died after 1873)—married Thomas THRELKELD on 11 October 1861 in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana.
---Harrison T. (born about 1845 in Indiana; died after 1860)
--Charles Benjamin (born about 1847 in Indiana; died after 1860)
--Leanna or Louisa E. (born about February 1850 in Indiana; died after 1860)
--Thomas T. (born about 1852 in Indiana; died after 1860)
--David B. (born about 1854 in Indiana; died after 1880)
--Eliza J. (born about 1856 in Indiana; died after 1860)
--Benjamin F. (born about 1858 in Indiana; died after 1880)
--Clarissa (born about 1860 in Indiana; died after 1880)
--Josephine/Georgana (born about 1862 in Illinois; died after 1880)
Joel Rouse married Sarah PITCHER (died 1847) and she was the mother of his first five children. He then married Mary J. FLINT (born about 1831 in Indiana; died after 1880) on 8 February 1849 in Marion County, Indiana. They are in the 1850 census in Sugar Creek Township, Hancock County, Indiana, then moved to Franklin Township, Marion County for the 1860 census. In the 1870 and 1880 censuses, they are in Rockville, Kankakee County, Illinois.
I am also interested in finding the descendants of Elizabeth (Rouse) Threlkeld—she was living with her brother Hiram Jack Rouse in the 1870 census in Indianapolis as well as an 1873 city directory for Indianapolis. What happened to their brother Harrison T. Rouse?

ReplyDeleteWe recently purchased a picture at an antique store of a young lady from ...I'm guessing late 1800s perhaps turn of the century. There is a name on the back of the picture "Miss Lou Rouse". The name is VERY faint and the missus and I are at odds over what it actually says...we concluded Lou.
We can scan the pic if you are interested.
