Tracking the Wife of George Sparling (mother of Moses C. Sparling)
Moses C. Sparling had a brother named Edward, also known as Ned. Ned married into a big family, the Krutsinger's, so there is quite a bit of info on them, which I used in this case to make an elimination.
In 1840, there is an elderly woman between age 80 and 89 living with Ned in North East, Orange, Indiana. I assume she was either Ned's mom or his mother-in-law. Since I had information for his mother-in-law, I was able to eliminate her because she died in 1830. If she had lived, she would have only been 65 anyway.
That leaves me to believe that the elderly woman in the 1840 census is Ned's mother, which means she was born between 1760 and 1769. That works alright for the wife of George Sparling, born in 1752, died in 1837, which would have left Ned's mom a widow in 1840. This elderly woman doesn't appear with Ned on the 1850 census, and a quick look at census records for her other children did not turn up any grandparents in residence, so I assume she has died in the interim between '40 and '50, and that is how I am going to list her at Ancestry.com.
I currently list her name as Tabitha Fleming, but I don't have any reason except for family trees to base that on, so the name is only a guess at this point.
