Shanwalder in southern Indiana in 1800's

Journal by Mary_Anne_

I'm looking for information on Caroline Shanwalder, who married Lewis Singleton in 1861 in Bartholomew County. I would like to know how, when, why she came to the United States and how she happened to be in Indiana. I also would like information about Lewis Singleton's family.

Thank you. I didn't look in the Columbus area when I was searching census records. That may be the missing link to following Lewis' family. The only person not in this family list is a sister named "Mattie." Family stories refer to her, but I've never heard about other siblings.
