John TERHUNE (b.c. 1797/1800 d. before 1851) marr. cira. 1823 Lydia MOSHER (bc 1808) of the Kempt Moshers.
Ref 31: Lydia Mosher, of Allen, married John Terhune and had the following children-Jehu, John, Allen, and Mary Matilda. (no mention of William or Michael!) Terhune died and Lydia married ------Marshall and had 2 sons and one girl. Esther (bc 1850-), Amos (bc, 1853) see below.
1871 census (28) has Lydia MARSHALL 63 (bc 1608) living with Amos Marshall 18 (bc 1853) in Walton. At this same residence were: Oliver (bc. 1847 sof Stephen & Hannah) and Susan (bc.1850- dof Ezekiel and Elizabeth Marshall ) Biginy/Bigney.. A marriage in July 1872 of Esther Marshall (bc 1850) of Walton to Duncan McLean lists Ezekiel and Lidia (sic) as parents. William J Terhune and Oliver Bigney as witnesses. (ref 29) If Ezekiel is Lydia's second husband then John Terhune must have died before 1850.
1881 census: Lydia Terhune 73 was living with William & Lydia (Brown) Terhune.
1891 census: Lydia Marshall, mother, 83 living with William & Lydia (Brown) Terhune.
Family. In 1838 J. Terhune, a carpenter, had a wife, 2 girls and a boy under 6 and one boy over 14. If this family was John & Lydia's, the boy over 14 would have been born when Lydia (bc 1808) was 16. 8 years is also a long time between the first two children so maybe a son of a first wife of John's?
