Ethington Family

Notes


Jepetha REARDON

ANN WAS 9 YS OLD IN THE 1850 CENSUS.
This family found in the 1860 Henry Co Ky census page 357 dw 833. Jeptha was 28 years older than Annie. Several children are listed in the census, but have not been recorded yet in the family records. Along with the Reardon children, is a Sarah E. Ethrington, age 3 (1860) (RIN NO. 2351), living with the family.  This Sarah E. is not identified further.

CENSUS:
 The Henry Co Ky 1860 census shows
       Jeptha Reardon       age 48 farmer born Ky
       Ann E. Reardon       age 20        born Ky
       Martha I Reardon     age 25        born Ky
       Isarel Reardon       age 21        born Ky
       Mary Ann Reardon     age 12        born Ky
       Sarah E. Ethrington  age  3        born Ky   (rin # 2351)

 Obviously, none of the Reardon's are Ann's.  They appear to be from a former marriage for Jeptha.  Sarah's presence is still unexplained. The Reeves Family, with Sarah F. as wife (a sister to Ann E.) is next door.
