Seeking family background, parents & siblings, of Chloe Queen MYERS in the local records of Elkhart Indiana. Chloe was born in Elkhart on 3 April 1875 and on 8 January 1893 she married Henry James BURTON, also in Elkhart, IN. Henry James Burton & Chloe Queen Myers had one child, Robert M. Burton, born in August 1896 in Illinois. Siblings of Chloe reportedly included Rose, Nell, Lillie, LaVina, Walter, and Albert Myers. Her Grandmother was Mary Tally who earlier lived in Springfield, Sangamon County, Indiana. I will greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you are able to offer. Below is additional information on Chloe.
1. Chloe Queen Myers married for the first time on 23 January 1893; the 1910 Census enumerator noted that she had been married for 17 years and that this was her first marriage. Family tradition holds that Chloe’s sisters included Rose, Nell, Lillie, and La Vina, and that her brothers included Walter and Albert. Family tradition further holds that Chloe’s “grandmother,” Mary Tally dropped walnuts in furrows “at” Springfield (Sangamon County), Illinois (presumably as a child, before the Civil War). This walnut grove was still in place circa 1940. There are many TALLY and TALLEY families in the 1850 and 1860 Illinois Census, and quite a few Marys. Mary TALLY could have planted these walnuts 30 to 40 years before Chloe was born in April 1875, but it is difficult to locate this woman, in place and time, without more information. Mary TALLY may have married a MYERS, but it is hard to tell. Chloe and Queen are very distinct names, but I have not yet found Chloe in the 1880 Census; there are a few candidates, but it is hard to be certain.
