    KNOWLES--I am looking for the descendants of Franklin McCormic KNOWLES (born 20 April 1849, probably in Poseyville, Posey County, Indiana; died 18 February 1887 in Gibson County, Indiana) and Eliza Ellen (FAIRCHILD) KNOWLES VAUGHAN (born 31 January 1851 in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana; died 18 October 1910 in Poseyville, Posey County, Indiana). They married 14 April 1870 in Posey County and had 5 children: Elam Elmer Knowles (born about 1871 in Indiana), Gracey Knowles, Alvus O. Knowles, Orva V. Knowles,
    and Martha Knowles. They were in the 1870 and 1880 censuses in Montgomery Township, Gibson County, Indiana.

    After Franklin's death, Eliza remarried 14 September 1893 in Posey County to Elbert B. Vaughan (born 9 November 1855; died 6 December 1898) and had one child from that union, my great-grandmother, Medreth Elberta Vaughan (born 5 March 1895 in Poseyville, Posey County, Indiana; died 10 September 1987 in Lawton , Oklahoma). Eliza and daughter Medreth are in the 1900 census for Posey County in the household of Eliza's father, Elam Fairchild.

    When Eliza died in 1910, Medreth (age 15) was orphaned, so she was sent to live with her uncle John Fairchild in Oklahoma. I'd be interested to know of any descendants of her half-siblings, as well as ancestors on the Knowles side (Ephraim's parents were supposedly born in Delaware), as I haven't any information on that branch. Thanks to all in advance for any and all help.
