    • Cemetery: 2 Oct 1928, 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:

    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.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 17 Sep 1850, Canaan Township, Wayne, Ohio, United States
    • Residence: 23 Aug 1860, Old Hickory, Wayne, Ohio, United States
    • 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]


  4. 11.  Freelove Groger was born in 1801 in Connecticut, United States; and died.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 17 Sep 1850, Canaan Township, Wayne, Ohio, United States
    • Residence: 23 Aug 1860, Old Hickory, Wayne, Ohio, United States
    • Residence: 30 Jul 1870, Seville Station, Wayne, Ohio, United States

    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.

    5. William M. Stanton was born in 1846 in Ohio, United States; and died.

  5. 12.  Henry D. Dishong was born in 1802 in Pennsylvania, United States; and died.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 12 Aug 1850, Licking Creek Township, Fulton, Pennsylvania, United States

    Notes:

    There are people that say that Henry died in 1865. However, in 1860, Margaret, his wife is living with her son Robert at the time and Henry is not listed so it is assumed she is already widowed at this time. If I am able to locate documentation on his death I will change not having a death date for him.

    Henry + Margaret Woodcock. Margaret was born on 2 Mar 1805 in Hopewell, Bedford, Pennsylvania, United States; died on 3 Aug 1884 in Van Wert County, Ohio, United States; was buried in Middle Point, Van Wert, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  6. 13.  Margaret Woodcock was born on 2 Mar 1805 in Hopewell, Bedford, Pennsylvania, United States; died on 3 Aug 1884 in Van Wert County, Ohio, United States; was buried in Middle Point, Van Wert, Ohio, United States.

    • Residence: 12 Aug 1850, Licking Creek Township, Fulton, Pennsylvania, United States
    • Residence: 17 Jul 1860, Bluffton, Wells, Indiana, United States
    • Residence: 11 Jun 1870, Murray, Wells, Indiana, United States
    • Residence: 11 Jun 1880, Washington Township, Van Wert, Ohio, United States

    Notes:

    There is a George W Woodcock that is 22 years old, being born in 1828 in Pennsylvania living within the household of Henry and Margaret. If what others say is correct, this could potentially be Margaret's brother.
    The 1850 Census has Margaret born in 1809. The 1860 Census has Margaret being born in 1806. She is also living with her son Robert, so evidently her husband, Henry passed before 1860.

    Find a grave is not an exact documentation for demographics (vital records). However, it seems plausible that this is her birth and death dates. I assume that is where she is buried due to the fact that she was living with her son in 1880.
