Notes

  • The first public record I find of Calvin Tichenor, son of Calvin and Perlina, is the 1850 census.  They are reported living in Perry County, Indiana, where we can assume that Calvin was born.  He is age 3 in this census, making his birth year about 1847.  Some reports make it about 1849, but if he is reported as 3 in 1850, that is likely more accurate than later census ages.

    Calvin's mother was Perlina Lay.  The marriage of his parents is recorded in Indiana records.  His mother's name is recorded in the marriage record as Pelina.  They were married on 24 April 1836 in Perry County, Indiana.

    Calvin married Molly Bonner in 1876.

    A grave in Mt Pleasant Cemetery reports the birth of Calvin Tichenor in 1877 and his death in 1936.  The stone is a footstone saying "Father" and matching that of his mother Molly Bonner Tichenor, but the date matches the birth date of the son of Calvin Sr and Molly.  There is not stone for Calvin Sr in this cemetery.  The death date for this Calvin is only 6 years later than Molly's death.
