Ridpath:

 

Isabelle ‘Belle’ Ridpath (1832-1860), daughter of James and Sabrina (Stevens) Ridpath, was the first wife of Enoch George McAninch (see McAninch family, above); Enoch and Isabelle were married on 1 Jan. 1852, in Putnam County, Indiana; eight years later, Isabelle died in 1860, and was buried in the (Old) Pleasant Hill Cemetery:

[1] 16. Isabelle McAninch / died June 2, 1860 / dau of J. & S. Ridpath / ... / aged 27 yrs 11 mo 14 d.

 

According to Ridpath family records [51], James, Sabrina, and their four youngest daughters went to Springfield, Iowa, in the fall of 1851, where James later bought 125 acres in Keokuk County, south of Springfield. Enoch George McAninch did travel between Indiana and Iowa, and Isabelle may have also traveled to Iowa, but it is believed that Enoch and Isabelle (Ridpath) McAninch lived in Hendricks County, Indiana, and she is buried here, in the (Old) Pleasant Hill Methodist Cemetery.
