Sylvester EVELETHAge: 40 years1815–1855
- Name
- Sylvester EVELETH
 Birth | about 1815 38 |
 Birth of a brother | John EVELETH 1815 Note: John's application for land in 1852 stated he was 37 years old.
|
| Birth of a brother | William EVELETH between 1810 and 1820 |
| Death of a father | Amariah EVELETH before 1826 (Age 11 years) Note: Based on fact that Amariah was not named, but his wife was, in the probate of his son Amariah and the fact that Amariah Srs sister stated that he was deceased in her 1830 will, Amariah was dead by 1830. In the 1826 Owen Society records in New Harmony IN it is clear that Amelia is the Head of Household; so Amariah must have died previously.
|
| Death of a brother | Ameriah EVELETH 1830 (Age 15 years) Note: Amariah Eveleth died in White County shortly after the family moved onto the land his mother Amelia bought from Seth Hull. Evidently Amariah did not own land but must have worked with his mother on her farm. He left an estate consisting of personal items and farm tools. The record of his probate is feint and difficult to read. It was found in the miscellaneous records of White Co and shows that the Eveleth, Withrow, Dagley, and Willis families were close.
|
| Death of a mother | Amelia GROSE? 1835 (Age 20 years) Note: Amelia deeded the land she bought from Seth Hull to her son John shortly before her death. The records from the White Co deed book show that Amelia died in the home of John Eveleth and Sylvester Eveleth verified that John had fulfilled his obligation to care for Amelia until she died, about Oct 1, 1835.
