Tobitha
Cullember, daughter of John Cullember
Tobitha Cullumber, daughter of John Cullember and Martha Ferguson was
born ca. 1834, Ohio.(1) She married 2 January 1851, in Madison County,
Ohio, by George Archer, Minister of the Gospel, Benjamin Garner.(2) He
had been married previously to her sister, Martha. Benjamin Gar(d)ner,
born ca. 21 May 1820, as he died 21 April 1876, aged 55 years, 10
months, buried Mt. Hope Cemetery, Beaver City, Furnas County,
Nebraska.(3) A group sheet from the Furnas County Genealogical Society
gives him a birth date of 10 May 1819. His first marriage was in the
name of Gardner, but he seems to have used Garner later on.
Tobitha probably
died about January 1860 because there is a child in the 1860 census who
was born about that time, but she is missing from the census. He
married (third) at age 35, on 4 April 1861, in Linn County, Iowa,
Barbara Ellen Myers, aged 22. They were married by Thomas Lewis, J.P.

found them to contain little of interest.]
