Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)

CONFLICTS

Given Name: This database uses Sarah A. The obituary of son Thomas uses Hinton (as in Hinton Spear). While Hinton is used as a first name, it appears to be more common for males than females. Given the other evidence suggesting Thomas' mother is Sarah Hinton, the coincidence of using her surname as a given name suggests she may have used it as a nickname, or the obituary writer (or the paper's copy editor) was having problems, and meant to use it as an augmented married name, that is, Sarah (Hinton) Spear. However, it is still a little troubling; using Sara or some other variant would be less so. [obituary-thomas-spear-1923]

Birth Date: This database uses 17 Jul 1812. Using her age (40) on the official 1850 census date of 1 June 1850 gives a birth date range from 2 June 1809 to 1 June 1810. [census-us-1850-ps-oh-guernsey-mt-ephraim-364b]

Birth Date: This database uses 17 Jul 1812. Using her age (48) on the official 1860 census date of 1 June 1860 gives a birth date range from 2 June 1811 to 1 June 1812. The conflict goes away if the page's enumeration date of 27 Jul 1860 was incorrectly used instead of the official census date. [census-us-1860-ps-oh-washington-ludlow-twp-5]

Birth Location: This database uses Ohio. The 1850 Census shows it as "Pa" [Pennsylvania]. [census-us-1850-ps-oh-guernsey-mt-ephraim-364b]

Birth Location: This database uses Ohio. The 1900 US Census for her son, William, shows it as Virginia. [census-us-1900-ps-ks-rawlins-131-1]

Birth Location: This database uses Ohio. The 1910 US Census for her son, William, states it is Pennsylvania. [census-us-1910-ps-il-knox-169-3a]

FOLLOWUP

Brothers Andrew and Joseph Spear appear to have married sisters, Elizabeth Hinton and Sarah Hinton respectively. However, I haven't found any explicit evidence for this yet, and their could be other explanations (cousins, perhaps, or even unrelated but with similar surnames).

Sarah's Parents and Siblings

Sarah's parents may have been Thomas Hinton (b. ?; d. 25 Mar 1828 in Ohio) and Sarah Bryant (b. 25 Nov 1768; d. 26 May 1859 in Ohio). [research-ancestor-chart-of-george-spear]

Thomas and Sarah Eliza(?) (Bryant) Hinton may have been married in 1803 or 1804 (in NY or OH?), and may have had five children, all born in Belmont County, OH. These were Thomas J., Jr. (b. 2 Oct 1805), Eliza (b. 7 May 1807), Elizabeth (b. 5 Apr 1808), William Bryant (b. 8 Mar 1810), and Sarah.

Was William a Church of Christ elder, and did he die around 27 Nov 1888? (The Weekly Guard, Council Grove, KS, 30 Nov 1888, p.1, c.5, "Death of an Aged Citizen")

Thomas Hinton, may have been born between 1770 and 1775 in Maryland and died in Kirkwood Township, Belmont County, OH. He may have had a brother William, born 1764 in MD, died 15 Aug 1820 in Belmont County, OH.

Sarah's mother Sarah Bryant may have been born 28 Nov 1768 in Norwich, New London County, CT, and died 26 Apr 1859, buried in Glady Cemetery in Whigville, Noble County, Ohio. Sarah Bryant may have been the daughter of John Bryant (b. ca. 1734 in New London County, CT) and Sarah Durke/Durkee (b. 3 Oct 1740), married 17 Apr 1765. Sarah Durke/Durkee may have been the daughter of Benjamin Durkee (d. 11 May 1744) and Sarah Abell, married 1 Aug 1738.

Sarah's Possible Details

Sarah middle name may have been Ann, and she may have been born 19 Jul, and in Pennsylvania rather than Ohio. [The location conflict may be related to a different Sarah Hinton I found and who did live in Pennsylvania.] [research-ancestor-chart-of-george-spear]

As a child, Sarah's family may have been in Kirkwood Township, Belmont County, Ohio. There exists an 1820 U.S. Census record for that location that records a Thomas Hinton household with two males between 10 and 16 and one older than 45, along with one female under 10, two between 10 and 16, and one over the age of 45. This seems to fit with the known information on Thomas and Sarah. This family was a neighbor of William Hinton's family. (Thomas' last name may be erroneously written as Henton in the document.) The same Kirkwood Township census sheet also lists a William Spears (could be Spear?) household, with one male child under 10, and a male adult between 26 and 45, and one female between 16 and 26, and one unnaturalized foreigner. This could be the family of her husband's brother and his wife, William Spear and Catherine Jarvis.

The marriage records registry entry for Joseph Spear and Sarah Hinton shows the marriage license, but not the marriage return, which would usually have been on the same date or within a few weeks after that. Instead, it has an empty space where the return should be and it doesn't appear the ink simply faded. A family bible register entry suggests the marriage return from the officiant never made it back to the county. (A typed transcsript of the hand-written record image used in this database also shows no return, but is not used in this database since it is clearly a duplication of the hand-written one.)

Sarah may have died 25 Mar 1867 in Owen County, Indiana., She may have been buried in Fender Cemetery, Vandalia, Owen County, Indiana. [research-ancestor-chart-of-george-spear]

An entry exists on Find A Grave for Sarah McMulin's gravestone in Fender, but the image of the broken gravestone is mostly unreadable, so only the location of this stone is known. The actual name on the stone, and if the last name McMullin or Hatfield is actually used, are as yet unknown and may require a trip to Indiana. (memorial id 43368766)

Second Marriage (to John Hatfield)

John Hatfield was 20 years older than his wife Sarah, and there are two unexpected blank lines in the 1850 US Census for Mt. Ephraim, Guernsey Ohio, between John's entry on page 364A and Sarah's entry on page 364B. Did this have some meaning? [census-us-1850-ps-oh-guernsey-mt-ephraim-364a, census-us-1850-ps-oh-guernsey-mt-ephraim-364b]

Sarah's children are not listed in the 1850 US Census although all of them were under 20 in 1850, and 1 (and probably 3) was(were) 10 or younger. Howerver, there are seven lines in the census record following Sarah's entry that are blank, a very unusual situation when it isn't at the end of the entries for a particular location. So where were John and Sarah's children in the 1850 US Census? Were they living with other family members? Is this the wrong household? [census-us-1850-ps-oh-guernsey-mt-ephraim-364b]
