Bio
Can anyone confirm that Abraham and Sally are really buried at Forest Hill cemetery? Abraham Ridpath was the son of eldest of eleven known children of John Clark Ridpath Sr. (1798–1879) and his first wife, Elizabeth Mary (went by Polly) Cox (1795–1857), who married 30 Mar 1814 at Montgomery County, Virginia. After Polly died, John remarried to Mary Hogan (or Elizabeth Mary Hogg on 15 Jun 1847 at Putnam County, Indiana), but had no additional known children with Mary Hogan Ridpath. After Mary Hogan Ridpath died, Abraham married to Mary Jane Bird (1819-1898) on 25 Dec 1851 at Boone County, Iowa and had an additional seven known children. Abraham was first married to Sarah (went by Sally) Pepper Matthews (1821–1859) on 24 Jul 1839 at Putnam County, Indiana. Abraham and Sally were the parents of seven known children, namely: 1. John Clark Ridpath Jr. (1840–1900) 2. Gillmore Gillum Ridpath (1842–1881) 3. Anne Elizabeth Ridpath Bassett (1846–1906) 4. Albert E. Ridpath (1849–1920) 5. Hiram Chester Ridpath (1853–1904) 6. Martha Jane Ridpath (1855–1926) 7. Henry Ward Ridpath (1858–1926) After Sally died, Abraham remarried to Eleanor Caroline Wright (1833–1862) on 04 Jul 1861 in presumably Indiana. Abraham and Eleanor were the parents of one known child, namely: 8. Maude Ridpath (1862–???) Was Maude really a daughter of Abraham and Eleanor? Or was she possibly confused with Martha Jane Ridpath? After Eleanor died, Abraham remarried to Sally Yowell (1832–1895) on 13 Jul 1864 at Putnam County, Indiana. Abraham and Sally were the parents of two known children, namely: 9. Emma Ridpath Stunkard (1865–1931) 10. Elma Ridpath (1868–1910) Links to Abraham's father, the first of his three known wives, seven of his ten known children and all of his ten known siblings are included below.
