Further research indicates that Anna's mother was probably Sarah Brown, a daughter of
Henry and Jane (Maple) Brown from Jefferson County, Ohio. The 1860 census shows Sarah
living with her mother and stepfather William Bradford in Coshocton County, Ohio. (Henry
died in 1854.) By this time Sarah's last name is changed to Householder, so she must
have married some fellow with that name, probably in Guernsey County, Ohio, about 1859.
The 1870 census shows Sarah and her 3-year-old daughter, Anna, living in Randolph County
with the family of Edward Wright. Sarah married Zimri Reynard in Randolph County on March
10, 1871. Her last name is incorrectly list as Hinshaw in the online marriage index, but
the original record at the county clerk's office shows the last name was really
Householder. The question remains as to who is Anna's father, as Anna was born before
Sarah married Zimri. Anna claimed on her marriage license application in Jay County that
her father's name was Thomas Rey!
nard. Is it a coincidence that her father and stepfather had the same last name, or did
Zimri also use the first name of Thomas? To add to the confusion, Zimri was married to
Martha J. Gillum before he married Sarah.
