AIRHART FAMILY:
|
I was in what we use to call the Whitaker Cemetery at Brays, the other day. Everyone calls it simply Brays now. It probably should be called the Rowden-Whitaker Cemetery. I noticed a Airhart grave and stirred my curiosity. Let's see what we can find out about her. She was just an infant, Eva Airhart born 2/20/1892, died 2/17/1895. She is George & Sarah Airhart's daughter. I find a Ann Airhart woman here with her family in 1840. She was in a family of 6, two males, four females. Jane Airhart married Nathaniel Humphrey, 7/23/1839. Susan Airhart married Nathaniel Humphrey, 5/17/1844. 1850 census: Nathaniel Humphrey age 41 (Ky) Alcy (Susan?) age 30 (Ky) Stephen age 13 (Mo) James age 12 (Mo) Mary Airhart married John Thornton, 1/16/1848.
