John Dunham here again.
First for Bill Thompson - can you verify the Robert Ellison/Jane Hazlett marriage as
Hannah's parents - i.e. is it documented? My dad had a James Ellison with a Hazlett
spouse [but w/o first name] as Hannah's parents. Don't know where he got the info
either. Note the 1880 census indicates Hannah's father was from NJ.
For all:
I have a 7 page list of the descendants of Robert Stewart and Hannah Ellison. Don't
run off - I won't send it all tonite.
According to what I have, Robert Stewart [b ca1816 in NY, d after 1862] md Hannah Ellison
[b 13 Nov1825, d 29 Sep1888, buried in Pleasant Valley Cem, Farmington] sometime before
1844. The 1850 Farmington Census lists this couple w/one child. The 1860 Farmington
Census lists them w/5 kids. By 1880, the Farmington Census lists Hannah Ellison as a
divorced head of household living with her unmarried son Frank J Stewart. Her age at this
census does not agree with the 1825 DOB given earlier.
The listing for the Peters Cemetery indicates there is a headstone for Robert Stewart and
his wife Hannah Ellison but with no dates on it. ???? Are there any birth, marriage,
death records avail in Tioga Co?
At any rate, they had a total of 7 kids according to the info I have.
Theodore Stewart, b 1844, d 1927, bu Middlebury-Union Cem, md Adeline Primmer on 6 Feb
1870 in Keeneyville.
Curtis Albert Stewart, b ca 1851 in Farmington, md Ruth Cady. No other info.
Samuel Eugene Stewart, b 3 Aug 1852 in Farmington, d 10 Jun 1928 in Jasper, Steuben
Co, NY. Md Mary Jane Carl of Tioga Co ca 1872.
Frank J Stewart, b ca 1856 in Farmington - other than above mention in 1880 census, no
further info re death or spouse but have some info on kids.
Richard Stewart, b 20 Jun 1858 in Farmington, d 5 Aug 1865. Bu with his mother at
Pleasant Valley Cem.
Sarah Jane Stewart, b ca 1860 [did not appear in 1860 census but was 19 for 1880
census], md Bion Warren.
Mary Adella Stewart, b 16 May 1862 in Farmington, md Sherman Warren.
Sarah and Mary Adella [Adele] lived together in Farmington for the 1880 census.
That's enough for tonite - just a note that Samuel Eugene and Mary Jane produced 10
kids - my grandmother was the oldest of the lot.
One other note - Robert Stewart was the son of Peter Stewart who obviously lived in NY at
one time but I have nothing further about him or his spouse. Robert had two sibs -
Clinton [nothing further] and Olive, who married a Wheaton. So far I have nothing further
there either.
If any of you folks have a fountain of knowledge about any of these folks and some of the
questions they raise, please throw some of it my way.
Good night
John Dunham
