Phebe Poland 1812 to 1833

Phebe Poland was the second eldest child of William Poland and Mary Swadley. We don't know much about Phebe as she died young at only 21 years of age. 

Phebe was born on February 2, 1812 in the wilderness of Highland County, Ohio. In 1825-1826 when Phebe was 13 or 14 years old, William and Mary packed up their brood of 8 children and headed west to Indiana. 

Sadly, at the tender age of 21 years, 5 months and 8 days old, Phebe left this world. 

I first found out about Phebe when I found the listing for Bethel Cemetery at the Indiana Genealogical Library in downtown Indianapolis.

 

When the Bethel Cemetery was moved to Concordia Cemetery in 2019, Phebe's headstone was found buried and broken. 

Phebe's stone was cleaned and repaired and can now be seen by all in the new Bethel Cemetery inside Concordia Cemetery.
