Ann Mariah Meldrum was the 1st child of Henry Meldrum and Charity Lane. She was born 3 Nov 1840 in Bentonville, Fayette County, Indiana. She was named after her fathers mother, Ann Mariah Zell. From her fathers estate she received 6 solid silver teasoons with the initials A.W.R. and a black tibit. She did not receive any money because she and her husband owed Henry $180.00 and this was taken out of her inheritance.
She married James Lane Francis 17 Jul 1870 in Grant County, Indiana. On the 1900 census she says that she has had 6 children and only two are alive. We are showing 8 children.
