Samuel Ivey Family - Marshall Co., KY & Lawrence Co., AR
Today I sourced the census data in the 1910 & 1920 census for Eileen's great-grandfather, Samuel Ivey. In 1910 the family is living in Marshall Co., KY and in 1920 they are across the Mississippi in Lawrence Co., AR. The last name is spelled Ivey in 1910 and Ivy in the 1920 record.

Russel J. Hercules Family - 1920 Wayne Co., IN
Today I sourced the census data for the 1920 census of Wayne Co., IN and the Russel J. Hercules family. Russel - I have it with two 'l's' - was married to Bertha Alberta LeMaster on June 10, 1911 in Jay Co., IN; she was my paternal great aunt.
Besides Russell's spelling of his name, there was also the interesting fact that his wife, Bertha Alberta, was listed a Martha in the census. Now it could just be that an error was made, as they did also have a daughter named Martha. This wouldn't have been the first time a census taker made an error. Perhaps she went by Martha, I just don't know. Russell was listed as a woodworker in a furniture factory; along with son Murrel and daughter Martha I. Hercules.
Russell J. HERCULES b. January 28, 1890 Burkettsville, OH, d. April 30, 1966 Richmond, IN., m. June 10, 1911 in Jay Co., IN to Bertha Alberta LeMASTER, daughter of Luman Cooper and Barbara Isabelle (WEHRLY) LeMASTER. Bertha b. June 26, 1892 Jay Co., IN; d. December 13, 1961 Richmond, IN.

Now it could just be that an error was made, as they did also have a daughter named Martha. This wouldn't have been the first time a census taker made an error. Perhaps she went by Martha, I just don't know. Russell was listed as a woodworker in a furniture factory; along with son Murrel and daughter Martha I. Hercules.

Mary was listed as the head of household in the 1900 census, living next door to her son Daniel Young, as well as other relatives (King, Etchison, etc.). Mary was the mother of 3 children with only 2 living by the 1900 census.

Ida D. Hancock - "Door of Hope" - Indianapolis, IN
Today I sourced a census record for Ida D. Hancock in the 1900 census of Marion Co., IN that fits with the profile of my great grandmother. Ida was living at the "Door of Hope" mission on Alabama Street in Indianapolis. Further research on the web indicates that the "Door of Hope" was a mission and home for unwed mothers on 132 N. Alabama St.
The listing shows Ida D. Hancock, born May 1874, aged 26, widowed with 2 children living. This matches the information I have for my great-grandmother Ida. Ida was born in 1874, probably in Owen Co., IN. She married Samuel Hancock on August 27, 1892 in Monroe Co., IN and they had filed for divorce in May 1894 because she claimed he had abandoned her. In the 1898 city directory of Indianapolis, I did find Ida Davis living at 606 1/2 E. Wabash St. Ida's daughter, June, was born June 11, 1898 in Indianapolis.
So far the information fits for what I do know about Ida. I have found no other record for her in the 1900 census under any other names where she may have been living.

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.

Ellsworth Haley Family - Jay & Adams Co., IN
Today I sourced the census records of the Ellsworth Haley family in the 1900-1920 census. Ellsworth was really George David Ellsworth Haley, son of George Washington and Mary Jane (Sherrick) Haley. In 1900 & 1910 he is in the city of Portland, Jay Co., IN and in 1920 he was living in Hartford Twp., Adams Co., IN.
Ellsworth and wife Nettie Premer had no children. Nettie's widowed mother Tamosine was living with them in the 1920 census. Ellsworth's occupation in 1900 was that of photographer; in 1910 he was a laborer in a factory; and in 1920 he was a minister in the Evangelical Methodist church.
I would love to find more about his photography career, as I have seen some older photographs that have his studio listed at my parents house.
