  • Notes 

    • Commentary: DWD 4.97

      Mary Ellen Darwin is recorded as Ellen Darwin in her first marriage to Jacob Foreman at Opelousas courthouse, whereas her full name is given in her second marriage record as listed at the same courthouse in Louisiana:
      DARWIN, Ellen m. 17 May 1838 Jacob FOREMAN (Opel. Ct. Hse: Mar #59)
      DARWIN, Mary Ellen m. 17 July 1850 Lemuel ANDRUS (Opel. Ct. Hse: #783)

      I was unable to find the family on the 1850 census but the 1860 TX census shows Mary Ellen with her second husband, Lemuel Andrews, in Madison Co., Texas (Willowhole Twp p.442):
      Lemuel Andrews 44 m La
      Ellen Andrews 37 f La
      Albert Andrews 18 m La
      James Foreman 19 m La
      John Foreman 16 m La
      Enoch Foreman 14 m La
      Alvin Foreman 11 m La
      Rufus Andrews 8 m La
      Dallas Andrews 4 m Tex
      Ophelia Andrews 2 f Tex
      William Andrews 2/12 m Tex
      Nancy Hart 20 f Ala

      From which we may deduce that Mary Ellen's first husband, Jacob Foreman, died about 1850. Her second husband, Lemuel Andrews, had a son, Albert b. 1842, from a previous marriage and that the family migrated from Louisiana to Texas about 1854, possibly in the same travel party with Rueben Darwin's family and the Robertson family, but travelled on to Madison County, (North Zulch), Texas.
