| Notes |
- Jerusha (or Jerutia) Almira (or Elmira) Monroe and William K. Ham (or Vann) were married by S. Stephens, JP.
They are found on the 1840 census of Posey or Vanderburgh County, Indiana. William is listed as age 20-30 and Jerusha is listed as age 30-40.
In the 1850 census of Vanderburgh County, Indiana, she is listed as Lucy Ham, age 30.
The 1860 census of Posey County, Indiana shows her as 40 years old.
The 1870 census of Henderson County, Kentucky, lists her as J. A. Royster, 51, living with her second husband, Alexander Royster and her son George Ham, age 27.
The 1880 census of Posey County, Indiana, lists her as a 58 year old mother living in the household of her widowed daughter, Mary's, house.
Several of her siblings named their children after Jerusha. It is reasonable to speculate that as the eldest daughter, she became a mother figure to her siblings after her mother's death.
She worked for many years as the matron at the Orphan Asylum in Evansville, Indiana.
