* 1870 Census (wherein they are home #196) lists Abraham Lincoln McMullen as being 10 at that time. My guess is they changed the name of John to Abraham Lincoln in honor of the President. My reasoning is that John was listed as being 2 months old in June of 1860. It would have been a little difficult for Nancy to have had a baby in April and another before the end of the year. Not impossible but.....
* McMullens had a school house where the Methodist Episcopal Church met during the 1860s and 1870s. Sunday School roll for Sept 12, 1871 follows:

Notes:
* James and Nancy were married by A.J.Cotton, Judge.
* The beginnings of my research came from the research originally done by Meda Garrigues around 1900 and carried on by Gertrude McMullen Heitmeyer in the 1970s. I obtained a copy of the little booklet Gertrude printed up for a family reunion in around 1975 - then travelled to Dearborn Co., met with Gertrude and filmed the original homestead homesite and many of the graves. My research started from there.
* Excerpt from History of Dearborn and Ohio Counties published 1885
"...John and Elizabeth (MCMATH) KENNEDY, he, a native of South Carolina and she of Pennsylvania. Mr. John KENNEDY had one brother, William, who was in the battle of Tippecanoe and many others, and at the close of that war enlisted in the regular army in which he served through life. He also had one sister, Eleanor, who married William Mackey, and lived and died in Franklin County, Penn. Mr. John KENNEDY came to Pennsylvania, when a young man, married and resided there till 1839, when he immigrated with his family to Indiana and settled in Dearborn County on land now owned by James McMullen in Section 32, Manchester Township, where he died in the summer of 1850, aged seventy-two years. His wife died in 1848, aged sixty-four years. They had ten children: John, Margaret, Eliza, Mary, Samuel M., William, Robert, Nancy, James and Catharine, of whom five now survived: Eliza, now widow Bair, residing in Pennsylvania, with her son; Samuel M.; Robert, now a resident of Illinois; Nancy, wife of James McMULLEN, and James."
