From Lizzie to Auntie

3_sistersMom, Van, and I worked on figuring out who these were recently. On the back, written lightly in pencil on black paper was a note, but it was almost unreadable even after enhancing with the computer. It was obvious they were sisters, but it took a lot of studying her handwriting and guess at her misspellings to finally be able to understand it all:

From Lizzie to Auntie
Ora on the right – and then
myself and Tena [Christina] I thought
you would presate [appreciate] this better
than any thing else I could
send you
to Auntie
 
Years ago, that wouldn’t have helped, but we have expanded the family tree a bunch and finally had some matching names. I found the daughters of Mary Etta Stanbrough (1848-1934) matched. Mary Etta is sister of Susan Stanbrough Hine (Addie Hine Bucklin’s mother).
 
Ora Wicker (or Whicker) (1869)
Elizabeth “Lizzie” Wicker (1881)
Christina “Tina” Wicker (1874)
 
We don’t know much about them, but its nice to have their photo and Lizzie’s note.

Merry Christmas to my Bucklin/Hine relatives. A few weeks ago I posted a photo of George Henry Hine on his birthday. Now it is time for his wife Susan G. Stanbrough Hine.

1900 - Susan Stanbrough Hine

Susan G. Stanbrough Hine circa 1900

She was born in 1851 in Westfield, Indiana, and died in 1933 in Hathaway, Louisiana. She is what is referred to as a gateway ancestor. She comes from a long line of Quakers who were really good about keeping family records. So I know the names of all of her parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and great great grandparents. I did this with the help of having my DNA tested at 23andMe. I’ve been able to identify segments of our DNA that come from her great grandparents. I kinda like Susan Stanbrough. She’s got lots of descendants

1900 - George Hine

George Henry Hine circa 1900

169 years ago today, my great great grandfather George Henry Hine was born in Hamilton County, Indiana (Nov. 27, 1846). He married Susan Stanbrough in 1873, and their first child, a daughter, Addie May Hine (my great grandmother) was born 3 years later. She was followed by five brothers (all of those Hines in Jennings). The family moved to southern Louisiana in 1894 and lived in the Hathaway area. He died on May 3, 1919 and was buried at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery in China, Louisiana.
