The Children of Fred and Ursula Houseworth

All 14 known children were born in the Waldo Area(as best as my research tells me).

Twin Boy Houseworths born 1839 died 1839

Nancy Houseworth born 1840 died 8-30-1856

Mary Ann Houseworth born 1841 died 9-8-1896

I have not found my Great-Grandmother's Death Records in Paulding County. She was living in Tipton, Blue Creek Township as late as June 1896...that was 3 months before her death. I am not positive of the exact location of her death.
