Livinia S. Church

NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR Livinia S. Church is not in my direct ancestry. Her relationship to known members of my family is currently a matter of active research. The assertion has been made that she is a sibling of Erastus Church and a daughter of Samuel Church, but that connection has not been firmly established yet. This page was made to help collect information about this person for use in the research.

1	1840 United States Federal Census, Milton Twp., Wayne Co., IN, pages 4-5. Lavinia Church, aged between 20 and 30, lives alone. She is employed in the category of "commerce." The number 30 is written in the "total" category on page 4. Ancestry.com indicates that this is a number of pupils in her school, though it is not clear from the original images why this interpretation of the totals column would be valid.	50px

Research

• There is a Lavina Montgomery who marries an Ebenezer Church (on 19 Dec 1848) and lives in IN. He was born in NY and she was born in IN. Not our lady.
• 1850 United States Federal Census, Center Twp., Hancock Co., IN, page 10. Census dated 10 Sept. 1850.
  Lines 13-16:Osea Gephart, 30, wagoner, $200 real property; Lavinia, 34, b. Vermont; Sarah E., 6; William E., 2. All b. Ohio except Lavinia.

This is a possibility. Others in the family are in this township and age is correct. Link to Vermont also seems good.
