Ancestry of Isaac Hearn b.1804 in MD d.1861 in IN
This person (and his siblings) are cited in two books used commonly as source material by others researching this line.
Each provides a uniquely different ancestry.A volume published in 1907 by William T. Hearne has Isaac as the s/o
Isaac (Sr) & Nancy Parsons where Isaac (Sr) has descended from a William Hearne emigrating from England to MD ca. 1688.
A volume published in 1926 by Rowena Emmeline Hearn Randle
has this same Isaac Hearn b. MD 1804 (and likewise his siblings) as the s/o Elijah Hearn & Sarah Parsons.Elijah was b. ca.1750 in Wales and emigrated to MD.One would think that the 1926 author was aware of the 1907 publication which might imply that her account intentionally disputes the other.
Does anyone have any knowledge - or opinion - of whether one of these histories is more reliable than the other?
