Carleys and Dolphs

Jennings County, Indiana marriage records on microfilm #1305173 confirm several marriages:

Bartholomew Carley married Salley Dolph on 22 Sept 1822.
Richard Carley married Eunice Dolph on 27 Aug 1826.
The record did not indicate ages for anyone.
I will order the next film (#1305174) to be sure, but the online index accessed through Ancestry.com also lists Sally Carley's marriage to William Nelson on 22 Aug 1839.
(I think this is correct, but the online version had mistakenly entered Bartholomew's year as 1833.)
________________

There were several other Carleys and Dolphs in the book, who might be helpful in establishing family connections, so they are listed here:
Polly Carley to Caleb Lucas, 19 Jan 1822
Beulah Carley to David McClay, 2 Jun 1823
Mary Dolph to Aron Bullard, 1821
Phebe Dolph to Isaac Harrington, 22 Jul 1824 (Applied)

I couldn't find any death records on ancestry for Bartholomew or Richard, but next time I should check the Jennings County website for resources: http://home.att.net/~Local_History/Jennings-Co-IN.htm
Note that in 1830 Bartholomew was living in Vernon, Geneva, or Columbia township, according to the federal census. Probably Vernon, according to OneWorldTree. (http://trees.ancestry.com/owt/person.aspx?pid=13753141&fsc=no)

I also need to check out the info on familysearch for Salley's sister Eunice, who is also listed as married to a Bartholomew Carley. The only other overlap I see is a son born in 1824 named Lehman or Lyman, but they have distinct spouses. OneWorldTree on Ancestry lists her married to John Lockwood, not Bartholomew Carley.

Sarah Dolph

The happy couple Augustus Carley and Violet Sanford both (apparently) have a grandmother named Sarah Dolph. In familysearch she is combined into one person, with the following timeline:

1806: born to Stephen Solomon and Eunice Dolph (maiden name Lindley) in New York
1823: marries Batholomew Carley in Indiana (see post about Carley marriages)
She has her children Lehman (1824), Stephen (1826), and Eunice (1823) Carley in Indiana
1840: marries William Nelson in Indiana
She has her son James (1841) Nelson in Indiana
She has her children George (1844), Sarah (1845), and Mary (1848) Nelson in Michigan
1859: dies in Boone Co., Iowa
(or 1889, according to some family trees on ancestry)

We started trying to track her down to see if she is actually the same person, married both to Bartholomew and William. Hopefully the microfilm of marriage records we ordered will help: IA marriages, including her daughter Mary to John Sanford.

We found her and William in an 1870 census from Boone, IA. Several pages later one of John Sanford's brothers was found with his wife: a closer look at the other families there should help us see who their neighbors and family were. It was the Cass township.
William and Sarah also show up in 1860 in Cass, which was then located in Lura county. Their four children were all living with them.

Next time: look for census records for the Nelsons, the Carleys, and the Sanfords. If we can find marriage records for Sarah that will be helpful as well, and a death date on Bartholomew would be nice.
