Notes:

Although it states that Edward is a widow at his death, he is not. His wife does not pass away until 1976. I think that maybe when asked the question they asked her her marital status or that is how she understood it and stated she was Edward's widow. Edward is listed as Edwin in the 1900 Census and is listed as being born January 1879.

Edward married Louisa Elizabeth Madden on 26 Nov 1902 in Allen County, Indiana, United States. Louisa (daughter of Dennis Madden and Mary Ellen Jundan - Jordan) was born on 3 Dec 1886 in Allen County, Indiana, United States; died on 1 Mar 1976 in Fort Wayne, Allen, Indiana, United States; was buried on 4 Mar 1976 in Prairie Grove Cemetery, Fort Wayne, Allen, Indiana, United States.

Notes:

Anna is listed as Ann in the 1850 Census. She is listed as Annie in the 1920 Census. She is also listed as being born in 1840 in the 1920 Census. In the 1900 Census it shows her being born in February 1839

It is stated in the 1900 Census that Anna is the mother of 10 children, also stating that all of the ten children are still alive.

In the 1870 Census there is a child listed as Hawel. There are people that think Hawel is a different child than Mason. However, if that was the case Mason would have been listed in the 1870 Census and he was not except for the mis spelling of his name as Hawel. There is a reson that a tombstone cannot be found - because it does not exist because the child does not exist. In the 1880 Census all 8 children are listed in the household. In the 1900 Census, Anna is listed as being the mother of 10 children, with all 10 children living so the idea that Mason and Hawel are 2 different children is answered as no with this listing.
Anna is listed as being born in February 1839 in the 1900 Census

Notes:

Married:
Anna's last name in the marriage records is spelled Stainton

Notes:

Married:
When this marriage was recorded for searchable documents on family search, they documented as the marriage taking place on 14 May 1824, however, when you enlarge the document, no where do i see a 1 in there at all. Due to this I am recording it as 4 May 1824. If anyone can prove the 14th, I welcome the correction with documentation.

• Residence: 30 Jul 1870, Seville Station, Wayne, Ohio, United States

Notes:

In the 1860 Census the last name is spelled incorrectly. It should either be Stainton or Stanton and they have it as Staunton. The Sainton comes from Peter's baptismal record in England so that is what I have left his name at.

Peter is also listed in the 1860 Census as being born in 1797 which I find incorrect considering his baptism record clearly shows 1798 for his birth year.

There is a Mary New living within the household of Peter and Freelove in 1850. By some people's research they say this is a daughter of Freeloves from a previous marriage however, the dates don't mesh with the father of Mary dying in 1859 when Freelove is clearing in a new marriage in 1835.

There is a Howell D Newton born about 1857 in Wisconsin that is living within the household of Peter and Freelove Stanton/Staunton in 1860.

When looking for Peter in the 1870 Census, you may have to look with the last name of Stanley. This Census record is very hard to decifer. Both Ancestry and Family Search got the last name wrong, and they both got Freelove's name wrong. I have put in alternate information in hopes that it can be found under the last name of Stanton.

Peter + Freelove Groger. Freelove was born in 1801 in Connecticut, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Some people have Freelove having the surname Groger.I did verify that her last name was Groger with her daughter Anna's death certificate. Supposedly she was married previous to Peter Sainton/Stanton and that is possible with the 19 year old that is living within the household of Peter and Freelove. However, the family search family tree states that her first marriage to David Nye was in Vermont. Her first husband, if she indeed did marry this previous man, died in 1859 whereas her and Peter were in the same house living as husband and wife in 1850. So unless the supposed first husband died in 1849, this is impossible. Although divorces did happen back then, it was very uncommon for it to happen. It was frowned on to divorce.
