I'm back to the family mysteries.... One name on the family tree that has done a masterful job of eluding me is that of Levin Hubbard's 2nd wife & the mother of Sarah Hubbard. Levin was married three times. Of course, I have identified the 1st & 3rd wives [Lydia Marshall & Charlotte Adams], but the 2nd has proved elusive.
Lydia was the mother of six children born between 1795 & 1806. All births have been recorded in Dorchester Co., MD. Very little has been found on Lydia, however.
Charlotte's four youngsters have been identified thanks to the 1850 census for Clinton Co., Ohio. [Levin died there in 1849.]
The middle family has proven to be a somewhat more difficult project. Levin moved to Delaware either after his 1st wife died or he married for the 2nd time. Selah/Selia [born between 1810 & 1815], John [1816] & Nancy [c1817] were born either in Maryland or Delaware. Sarah [c1819] & Levin Jr. [c1822] were born in Delaware. Elizabeth [c1823] was Ohio born.
I tackled the "Hubbard Problem" in Salt Lake City back in 2009 & made very little headway. One hopeful note was that one Sarah's siblings died after death registrations were filed in Indiana. That fizzled. The father's name was incorrectly recorded & the mother listed as "unknown."
To make the story really interesting, Sarah Hubbard Wolary died between 1860 & 1863, leaving her husband William with three minor children. Sina, Sarah's younger half-sister, had a baby whose father was killed during the Civil War. William Wolary married Sina & adopted the baby. They also had a child of their own.
My great-grandmother, Margaret Jane Wolary Prall was between 4 & 6 when her mother died, so was raised by Sina for most of her childhood..
In researching my biological great grandmother Louisa Bradley I'm finding information that indicates her grandparents were Theodrick Johnson and Sarah Elizabeth Hubbard. I've been finding many obviously conflicting pieces of information on Elizabeth's mother. I greatly appreciate your sharing your research findings.
