HIRAM(4) 1806-1843

Born in Ross County, Ohio, the son of Arthur Chenoweth and his second wife, Susannah Carter (or Kerr?), Hiram was an early native of Ohio. He married at the age of 23, Nancy Wolfe in Pike County. After the birth of their daughter and just prior to the 1830 Census they moved to Vermillion Co., IN. In 1840 they are found in Montgomery County. Tragically both Hiram and Nancy are believed to have died in 1843 leaving 4 minor children. The three sons were taken in by their Aunt Ada who had married Charles Parnam Boswell and lived in Tippecanoe Co., IN. This family moved to Benton Co., IN. Little is known of the descendant lines of the three oldest children, other than their marriages and at best a generations. The son John, found in the 1850 Census, may be the unknown John Wesley Chenoweth who settled in Piatt Co., IL. The known facts of Hiram's son John and John Wesley are very similar. Links are easily lost in families that have premature deaths of the parents.
