William Shaw (b. January 28, 1800)

Today's featured relative in my database is my maternal 4th-great grandfather, William Shaw.

William was born January 28, 1800 in Pennsylvania, according to census records. William married August 29, 1822 in Brown Co., OH to Mary Heck, daughter of Godfrey and Elizabeth (Kimmer) Heck. Mary was born May 13, 1803 in Ohio (Brown Co.?) and died August 12, 1890 in Madison Co., IN. William died September 25, 1849 in Madison Co., IN. Both are buried in the Prewitt Cemetery, Madison Co., IN.

Jacob J. Haley Family - Allen Co., OH

Today I sourced the census data for the Jacob J. Haley family in the 1900 census of Allen Co., OH. The family was living in the 4th ward of the city of Lima. Jacob was my paternal 2nd great-granduncle.

The family apparently moved between Indiana and Ohio around 1898, as most of their children were born in Indiana. Many of the Haley family were in Jay Co., IN., so I need to check there for the 1880 census. Jacob was the son of George J. and Rachel (Gary) Haley.

Frederick Haley Family - Jay Co., IN

Today I sourced the 1860 & 1870 census records for the Frederick Haley family in Noble Twp., Jay Co., IN. Frederick was the brother of my 3rd-great grandfather, George J. Haley.

Frederick was a farmer and moved his family from Ohio around 1847-1848, in between the births of sons Samuel and Harvey. In the 1870 census, it is his wife, Elizabeth, who has the estate value, either she owned it or this was a transcription error. I have not traced the family beyond the 1870 census yet.
