Narrative

There is a marriage record from Delaware Cty, Indiana on 24 Aug 1871 for an Isaac DeWitt and a Sarah Eliza Preston; the two of them appear to have had three children (Bertha Viola, b. 1872; David Oliver, b. 1874; Emma Olive, b. 1878) before Isaac's death prior to the 1880. That year, Sarah was counted as a twenty-seven-year-old widow with her three children in Prairie Twp, Henry Cty, Indiana. Sarah appears to have remarried to John Albert Yingling, and the two of them had at least three more children.

I have not found further information to confirm that this Isaac (husband of Sarah and father of Bertha, David, and Emma Olive) was the son of Lorenzo and Hannah (Ogle) DeWitt as of yet. Many online pedigrees and family trees have made this connection, but those I have reviewed do not appear to have validated sources confirming the connection.
