• Notes

  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. The placement of Rebecca Winner is a bit problematic considering her birth of about 1829 if the 1850 census is correct. It would be nice to have another census or two to get an age confirmation. If the birth year is correct, then she would have been about 18 years old when she was married in 1848, which is of course plausible if not just a tad young. At this time in Brown Co., Ohio, there were only two potential fathers for Rebecca: Jonathan or his son Isaac. Jonathan and Sarah would have been about ages 50 and 49 respectively, which seems a little oldish especially considering Sarah started having children abt 1801. On the other hand, the 1840 census for Jonathan reports males: 1@60-70 and females: 1@10-15; 1@20-30; 1@50-60. The youngest female is the right age for Rebecca, the middle female could be the next older daughter Azubah who was born abt 1821 and married in 1848. We currently believe Isaac was living with his father in the 1830 census. He was born about 1802 and would certainly have been of the right age to have fathered Rebecca. (See more below on 1830 census.) He may have actually had a first marriage of which Rebecca was a child. That first wife may have perhaps died and Rebecca was raised by her grandparents. We do see Isaac married (perhaps for a second time) in 1847 to Mary Whited who was born in 1812; they have a child Sarah J. Winner. Looking at the 1830 census, we see males: 1@20-30, 1@50-60; females: 1<5, 2@10-15, 1@15-20, 1@20-30, 1@50-60. We can presume perhaps the following: Isaac was the younger male and his father was the older male. Sarah would be the oldest female, the dau. Sarah would be the one 15-20, and Amy would be the 20-30 daughter, and Elizabeth and Azubah would be the two 10-15 daughters - this leaves one explained female under age 5 who most likely is our Rebecca. This does not clear up who is Rebecca's father, but it does place Isaac at home and Rebecca being born from 1825 to 1830 where we would expect her. Summarizing, I suspect the age in the 1850 census for Rebecca is more correct than not considering the age disparity with her husband (I think if the census taker was estimating he would not have had such a large disparity). I believe Sarah would not be bearing children for 28 years with one husband since a 20 year spread is more typical - also there is roughly an eight year spread between Rebecca and the previous child Azubah. For now, my best guess is to assign Rebecca as a daughter of Isaac and an unknown first wife. I wish we had more data to work from. 2. Censuses: 1850 US: Miami Township, Clermont, Ohio, 10 Sep 1850, 918/918: Henry Kelley, 33, carpenter, CT. Rebecca, 21, OH. Mary E., 1, OH. This family seems to disappear after 1850 in the censuses.

D70. -Lowis Winner and George Mitchell, 11 Dec 1828, upon oath of applicant and Isaac Winner, D13." -Mary Winner and Isaac Scott, 1 Dec 1855. [This would be Mary Whited's second marriage after Isaac Winner, son of Jonathan, died.] -Sarah Winner and James Brown, 2 May 1833, D87. -Rebecca Winner and Henry Kelley, 3 Sep 1848, G136.
