Shaky Leaves : John Penisten household, 1900 census Madison County, Indiana

Found the 1900 census record of my maternal 3rd-great grandparents, John and Jane A. (Alderman) Penisten in the 1900 census of Monroe Township, Madison County, Indiana through Ancestry.com's hints on my LeMaster & Allied Family Tree.

1900 US census, Madison County, Indiana, population schedule, Monroe Township, enumeration district (ED) 96, SD 67, sheet 11B, dwelling 226, family 241, ; digital images, Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 20 December 2015); National Archives, Washington, D.C..
John was listed as a 62 year old farmer, born December 1838 in Indiana, who rented his farm.  He could read and write and spoke English. Both of his parents were born in Ohio.  His wife, Jane, was 58, born September 1843 in Indiana.  She could read and write and spoke English.  Her father was born in Ohio and mother in Indiana.  She was the mother of 3 children, two of whom were living.

Until I looked at this record, I didn't realize that there was a third child of this couple who wasn't alive by 1900.  They had two daughters, Clara born March 1869 and Jessie born September 1870.

If you have any additional information on this family, I would love to hear from you.

Samuel Green Hancock (b.1867) Social Security Application

Searching at Ancestry.com for hints on the Ida Davis mystery, I located some additional information about her husband, Samuel G. Hancock (b.1867).  Thanks to their database on the U.S. Social Security Applications, I found out that his middle name was Green, and that he applied for his Social Security in 1937.


Name:Samuel Green Hancock
SSN:315055918
Gender:Male
Race:White
Birth Date:17 Oct 1867
Birth Place:Owen CO, Indiana
Father Name:Joseph Hancock
Mother Name:Margaret M Vaughn
Type of Claim:Original SSN.
Notes:Jun 1937: Name listed as SAMUEL GREEN HANCOCK

Previously, the last record I had for Samuel was the 1930 census, when he was a resident of Perry Township, Marion County, Indiana.

Samuel was married to Ida Davis on August 28, 1892 in Monroe County, Indiana.  A suit for divorce was filed in Monroe County, and mentioned in the April 26, 1894 issue of the Bloomington World.  

I've located additional marriages for Samuel in Owen and Marion Counties, Indiana, and at least 3 children, but have yet to find much on them.  Many online trees have tried to connect Samuel as the father of either Ida's daughter Pansy or June, but no hard evidence has appeared.  However, daughter Pansy was born December of 1894, just 8 months after the divorce notice appeared in the newspaper.

If you are related to this family, I would definitely like to hear from you.

Monroe County Indiana Library's Obituary Index

Found out that the Monroe County, Indiana Public Library has a really good obituary index site at http://mcpl.info/indiana/monroe-county-obituary-index .  You can search for the obituaries of your relatives, and then have them sent to you either through the US Mail or scanned as a PDF.

Using Paypal, I ordered my first obituary from this index and look forward to seeing what the paper had to say about my maternal 4th great grandfather, Peter Kirkpatrick Swafford (d. 1885).  His obituary was in the September 9, 1885 edition of the Republican Progress.

Their search index is very easy to use.  If you have ancestors in that area, I would check it out.  I even found an obituary for my great-grandmother, who didn't live there, but had family still there when she died.

Shaky Leaves : Albert F. Adams household, 1930 census Monroe County, Indiana

Albert F. Adams was the husband of my maternal first cousin three times removed, Gladys Marie Gilliland.   Through Ancestry.com hints, I was able to locate their family in the 1930 census of Washington Township, Monroe County, Indiana.

1930 U.S. Census, Monroe County, Indiana, population schedule, Washington Township, enumeration district (ED) 53-25, SD 10, sheet 5A, dwelling 93, family 93, ; digital images, Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 19 December 2015); National Archives, Washington, D.C..
At the time of the census, Albert owned his own home, valued at $2000, owned a radio, and had been married for 6 years.  His age was listed as 30, and he was born in Indiana, as were both of his parents.  He worked as a laborer in a stone mill.

Wife Gladys was 29 years old, born in Indiana, as were her parents.  She did not have an occupation listed.  Children in the household were Wilma, aged 4 1/12, and Albert E., aged 2 4/12, both born in Indiana.  Albert was also mentioned as a "Junior", but his middle name was Eugene, while his father's was Fritch.

I had already located the family in the 1940 census in the same location.  Their son, Lloyd, was the one who provided me with many photographs of the Ida Davis and Gilliland families.

Gladys was the daughter of William Everett and Maude Nell (Arthur) Gilliland.

If you are related in any way to this family, I would like to hear from you.

FindAGrave Correction : John P. Wehrly (1838-1909)

Received an email recently with a correction to my entry for John P. Wehrly (1838-1909) at the FindAGrave site.  I had his death year listed as 1910, which is clearly what is on his tombstone.




However, the records from the Baird & Hardy Funeral clearly state that he died in 1909.

Checking my RootsMagic database, I had cited his death date as December 13, 1910 from Baird & Hardy Funeral Home Records: Jay County, Indiana 1909-1911 (N.p.: n.p., n.d.), .  Somehow I must have mistyped the date.

John was the husband of my paternal 2nd-great grandaunt, Catherine E. Lemasters (1840-1911), daughter of Luman Walker and Nancy (Young) Lemasters.  John was a farmer in Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana.

I need to search out an obituary for him and see what additional information I can find on my next trip to Jay County.

Shaky Leaves : Harvey A. Huey (1866-1947)

Harvey A. Huey (1866-1947) was my paternal 2nd-great granduncle, the husband of Mary A. Metzner (1862-1925).  Ancestry.com was showing a hint for him that lead to the discovery of what happened to him after Mary's death, including a second family.

Prior to this hint, I only had Harvey and Mary's death dates and their place of burial : Mt. Zion Cemetery in Jay County, Indiana.  In the 1920 census, they were living in Davison Township, Genesee County, Michigan, where Harvey was a Free Will Baptist Preacher.

The hint was for the 1930 census of Waterford Township, Oakland County, Michigan, which had Harvey's surname enumerated as Hewey.  He was head of household, aged 63, born in Indiana, renting his home and his occupation was that of a Methodist minister.  Also in the household was a wife, Leona, aged 39, no occupation, born in Indiana and a son, Robert L., aged 12, born in Michigan.


1930 U.S. Census, Oakland County, Michigan, population schedule, Waterford Township, enumeration district (ED) 63-132, SD 14, sheet 23B, dwelling 562, family 686, ; digital images, Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 2 December 2015); National Archives, Washington, D.C..
The first thing that stood out, other than the change in denomination, was the inclusion of a son, Robert, who would have been born circa 1918 in Michigan.  Harvey and Mary had no children, and Robert would have been born when Mary was alive.  Did I even have the right family?  I had to do some further digging to verify that this was indeed the correct individual.

By the 1940 census, Harvey and Leona were in Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Michigan, where Harvey was 73 years old working as a custodian for the University of Michigan.  Leona was aged 49 with no occupation.


1940 US census, Washtenaw County, Michigan, population schedule, Ward 1, Ann Arbor, enumeration district (ED) 81-2, SD 2, sheet 6A, household 420, dwelling 147, ; digital images, Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 2 December 2015); National Archives, Washington, D.C..


I searched both Ancestry.com and FamilySearch for a marriage record of Harvey Huey to a Leona sometime after 1925 and was unable to find a record.  

What about Mary (Metzner) Huey, my maternal 2nd-great grandaunt, whose death year I only had as 1925 and burial in Mt. Zion cemetery?  I did a search at SeekingMichigan.org and found her death date as January 2, 1925 in Vernon, Shiawassee County, Michigan.  The certificate lists her name as Mary Ann Huey, born March 4, 1863 in Indiana, the son of John Metzner and Katharine Young.  Her husband is listed as the Rev. H.A. Huey of Vernon, Michigan.  The cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage.  Burial was in Portland, Indiana.


Shiawassee County, Michigan, Death Records, , Mary Ann Huey, 2 January 1925; digital images, SeekingMichigan (www.seekingmichigan.org : accessed 2 December 2015); Michigan Department of Health.

The FindAGrave memorial page for Mary is pretty limited, only giving the year of birth and death and linking her to her husband, Harvey.  I will contact the admin of the page and give them the updated death data.


The FindAGrave page for Harvey had a little more detail, including the date of death for Harvey as November 28, 1947 in Washtenaw County, Michigan.  The site lists a wife Leona, and that Harvey's parents were Christopher Huey (1824-1894) and Clarissa Grattis Huey (1829-1895).



With the date and place in Michigan for Harvey's death, I went to SeekingMichigan to see what I could find on his death in 1947.  No full copy of the death certificate yet, but this individual was born in 1866 with a given name of Harvey A Huey, which lines up with what I know about my 2nd-great granduncle.



FamilySearch had additional information on the same death that tied Harvey who died in 1947 back to Portland, Jay County, Indiana:




So next I decided to turn back to the 1930 census record and trace the son, Robert, born circa 1918 in Michigan and find out where he came from.

In the 1920 census in Highland Park, Wayne County, Indiana, Robert was a 1 year and 8 month old son in the household of Max L. Huey, aged 26, born in Indiana,  an office clerk in an auto shop.  Also in the household was wife, Leona R. Huey, aged 27, born in Indiana, no occupation, and a brother-in-law, Leonard G. Maul, age 20, born in Michigan, a time clerk in an auto shop.  I believe we have here is Leona marrying two different men with the same surname, who are likely related because all were from Indiana.

Max Lyndon Huey, son of Charles and Frances (Hozlett) Huey, married December 15, 1915 in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan to Leona Rose Maul, daughter of George and Mary (Alwerten) Maul.  Max would have been born circa 1893 in Indiana and Leona circa 1891 in Indiana at the time of their marriage.  The differences in age matches the household found in the 1920 census.  Leona's surname was mis-indexed in the FamilySearch record, but when viewing it you can see that it was Maul.

Looking for further hints regarding Robert, I found a record of his marriage which gave me his middle name as Lee.

I also found a record for Robert in the 1940 census, before his marriage, in Detroit, Wayne County, Indiana, in the household of Max Huey.  Robert was listed as 21, single, born in Michigan.  The head of the household, Max, aged 48, born in Indiana and his wife, Wilma, aged 38, born in Michigan.  Both Max and his wife Wilma were social workers with the city welfare department and Robert was an adjuster with Commercial Credit company.

The World War II Draft Registration for Max shows his birthplace as Butler, Indiana (DeKalb County) on August 24, 1893.  His full name was Max Lyndon Huey, and he worked for the city of Detroit in the Department of Public Welfare, which matches the 1940 census record.


I also located a FindAGrave for Max L. Huey (1893-1989) whom I believe is this same Max - who was married to Wilma as a second wife.


Ancestry.com had the following death record in their Michigan Death collection which matches the other date details for Max Lyndon Huey.


Likely, Max and Leona were divorced before Harvey A. Huey married her, sometime between 1925 (wife's death) and 1930 (census) when I first find them together.

What happened to Leona after Harvey's death in 1947?  It would appear that she married for a third time to Marvin Macomber on September 28, 1949 in Dearborn, Wayne County, Michigan.

Additionally, I found the FindAGrave memorial for Leona R. Maul Macomber (1891-1969) in Howell, Livingston County, Michigan.



If you have any additional information on these families, I would love to hear from you.
