The Custer Family
Excepting the parents, all members of General Custer's immediate family were natives of Harrison County.
Father Emmanuel H. Custer (1806-1892) was from Maryland, and mother Maria Ward Kirkpatrick (1807-1882) was from Pennsylvania. Born in New Rumley were James and Samuel, who died as infants, George Armstrong (1839), Nevin Johnson (1842), Thomas Ward (1845), and Boston (1846). Sister Margaret Emma (1852) was born in North Township. Tragically, brothers George, Tom, and Boston died together at the Battle of Little Big Horn. So did Margaret Emma's husband, Lieutenant James Calhoun.
