Other Events:

Notes:

Parents may have been John Croslow and Jane Holden? Or Wilhelm/William Cassler (1783-1854) and Mary Carr (1780-1845).
Possible brother Aquilla Cossler b. abt. 1803-1837, William Samuel (1812-1870) and Louisa Jane (1816-1855)

In 1840 there is a James Caslaw in Washington, Brown, Indiana. He is not on the 1848 or 1858 tax records of Brown county.

By 1860 the younger children Joseph and Tobitha are living with their older married sisters Nancy and Mary Jane in Johnson, Brown, Indiana. Have not found Elizabeth in this census.

James married Catharine Simmons. Catharine was born in 1810 in Virginia, USA; died in in Johnson, Brown, Indiana, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Last name was Simmons according to death certificate of daughter. Did she remarry?

First name may have been Catherine (or was that James Croslows first wife), father said to be Dan Simmons of Kentucky. Cherokee bloodline? Also had a son James Simmons b. 1 Oct. 1811 in (?Ohio County) Kentucky.
(Katherine Simmons, dau of Adam Simmons and Phoebe Snodgrass m. Oct 13 1814 in Harrison, KY, is not the correct one - she married Cornelius Veatch in 1837.)

Notes:

Parents may be William Ewing and Catherine who had a son Levi b. 1819-1820 in Mohican, Ashland, OH, USA.

This Levi was married 30 Mar 1842, to Mary "Polly" Ann Andrews who died in childbirth and in Dec 1850 to Caroline Mozier who died between the census of June 4, 1860 and his supposed marriage on Oct 30, 1861 to Tamson Marinda van Camp (1846-1918). This marriage I believe is to a separate William Ewing. Tamson remarried in 1868. When their daughter Elizabeth (1863-1939) died this William birthplace is said to be Indiana (not Ohio).

Levi is in Vermillion, Ashland, Ohio in 1850 with his son Elmore b. 1843 by his first wife. He was a carpenter. In 1860 he is in Decatur, Adams, Indiana. He died in Mar 1866 in Decatur.

Decatur is where Dillon Ewing Shoemaker was born. Lydia would then have been Levi's third or fourth wife.

Levi married Lydia Margaret Heckathorn on 21 Jul 1864 in Wells Co., IN. Lydia (daughter of George Washington Heckathorn and Mary Ann Weist) was born on 12 Feb 1845 in Ohio; died on 24 Jul 1885 in Harrison, Wells, Indiana, USA; was buried in Fairview Cemetery, Bluffton, Wells, IN.
