Ellen Jane HILT or HESTER ?
Please any one answer if you have an idea what I might of found or some
family data or answers for me.
I have been searching the family of my great great grandmother Ellen Jane
Helt.
So I look again in the LSD free 1880 census and see mygreat great grand
father is not married to her yet he is home and he is 23.
I decide to start to page around at the house holds in the same area for
clues.
I find this family in this order 11 house holds down in 1880 LSD in West
Ward Sunbury Pa.
Gideon LANDAW husband
Hester LANDAWwife 38
Kids
Emma M LANDAW 10
John LANDAW26
William LANDAW23
Adam LANDAW6
Clara LANDAW1
ELLEN J HILT 18daugther at home
Elizabeth LANDAW4
Could this be my Ellen J HELT?
Why is she a daughter of a LANDAW?
Not listed as a Step daugther but a daugther?
It seems that the mother of this crew is not old enought to have a son 26
years old.
Maybe this is the husbands second marriage to her and maybe its her second
marriage?
I Think this might be the family ofmy great great grandmother but she she
is not a LANDAW.
Maybe she was married once and widowed at the age of 18?
But I don't think so its is some thing about the mother Hester she is too
young for the oldest boy and maybe boys.
Ellen J HILT is probably her daughter.
But was that her maiden name or was she married and widowed ?
Please any answers.
Thank you Jeanie
