In 1860 Elesart(?) Punderbaugh, age 8, born in Indiana, was living with them.^9,10 Listed with them in the 1870 census was Mary Michael, age 19, born in Indiana. It's unclear who this is. There's no Mary Michael listed with them in the 1860 census, and their (presumed) daughter Mary Ann Michael, from the 1850 census, would have been about 33 in 1870, and was born in Ohio.^10,9,3 In 1880 they were living in Deerfield, Randolph Co., Indiana.¹¹

Jesse and Nora are listed with them in the 1880 census, and Roy is listed as Jesse's brother in the 1900 census. Also listed in the 1900 census, as Jesse's sister, is Minnie E. Eubank, born March 1874 in Ohio. However, she is not listed with Hezekiah and Agnes in 1880, and it seems possible that she is actually Jesse's cousin Millie Eubank, the daughter of James Eubank and his wife Nancy, listed with them as age 6 in the 1880 census.^10,3,11,2

     David Eubank was born about 1846 in Ohio.¹ He was married by Wm. K. McCabe, Minister, to Mary C. Elikes on 28 December 1871 in Darke Co., Ohio.² He died on 3 March 1878 in Darke Co., Ohio.³

     William Eubank was born in July 1852 in Ohio.² He married Anna E. (?) about 1875.²
     He and his wife Anna were living in Harrison Twp., Darke Co., Ohio, in 1880.³ They moved to Wayne Twp., Wayne Co., Indiana, sometime between 1893, when their daughter Grace was born in Ohio, and June 1900, when they were enumerated in Wayne Twp. in the census.^2,4 In 1910 they were living in Jackson Twp., Wayne Co., Indiana.⁴ He has not yet been found in the 1920 census, but in 1930 he was living as an "inmate" at the Wayne County Infirmary in Center Twp., Wayne Co., Indiana. This was likely an institution or nursing home; almost all the of the "inmates" were elderly.⁵
     The 1900 census says he and Anna had 15 children, with 9 then living, but the 1910 census says just 9 children, with all 9 then living. Names are known for the following eight children: Orville (b abt 1876), Harless (b abt 1878), Lulu (b abt 1879), Alma (b October 1884), Chester (b April 1886), William (b December 1887), Raymond (b December 1889), Grace (b abt 1893). It should be noted, however, that while Grace Eubank is listed with them as a daughter, age 17, in the 1910 census, she is not listed with them in 1900. She may actually be a niece or other relative, not a daughter.^3,2,4

     Mary Jane Eubank was born on 22 October 1858 in Darke Co., Ohio.^1,2 She died from the flu on 12 March 1940 in New Paris, Preble Co., Ohio, at age 81.¹ She was buried at Otterbein Cemetery in Darke Co., Ohio.¹
     She was living with her sister Elizabeth and her husband John H. Coblentz in Wayne Twp., Wayne Co., Indiana, in 1920³, and moved with them to New Paris, Preble Co., Ohio, sometime between 1920 and 1930.⁴

     William Michael was born in October 1833 in Ohio.^2,1 He married Anna (?) about 1852.²
     He and his wife Anna moved from Ohio to Ward Twp., Randolph Co., Indiana, sometime between about 1853, when their son Silas was born in Ohio, and 1860, when they were listed in Ward Twp. in the census.³ They lived in Ward Twp. until at least 1910.^3,4,5,2,6
     Based on their census entries, he and Anna had five children: Joseph (b abt 1852), Silas (b abt 1853), John (b abt 1861), Sarah (b abt 1862), and Anna E. (b abt 1874). However, in the 1900 census Anna is listed as having had just four children, not five. Sarah and Anna E. were still living at home in 1880, the first census year in which relationships are explicitly specified, and both are listed as daughters. Thus, one of Joseph, Silas, and John may be a relative and not their own child.^3,4,5,2

     Mary Ann Michael was born about 1837 in Ohio.¹

     Silas Michael was born in July 1845 in Ohio.² He married Elsie Jane Hawley on 11 June 1863 in Randolph Co., Indiana.³ He died sometime between 1900 and 1910, when his wife Elsie was listed as a widow in the census.^2,4
     He and his wife Elsie were living in Ward Twp., Randolph Co., Indiana, in 1870 and 1880.^5,6 In 1900 they were living in Butler Twp., Darke Co., Ohio.²
