Thompson A. Hineman was the son (and youngest child) of Alexander Hineman and Amanda Jane Ewing.

Because he was born in 1881, Thompson does not appear on any census record with his parents, however they are listed on his death record.

Something I noticed on the 1880 census: There was a Thompson family living near the Alexander Hineman family. Not sure if there is ANY connection at this point, but something I will try to research further.

Okay, on to what I have found so far: Thompson seems to have been a bit of a delinquent. According to the 1900 census, he was an inmate in a reformatory.

NEW PRISONERS RECEIVED — Guard Anderson brought to the reformatory from Lisbon, Columbia [sic.] County, Charles Nelson, Edward Hanselman and Thompson Hineman.

Evidently, he was quite the crafty fellow:

Now, for his wives, Flora Unknown and Dessie D. Straight (Hawkins) :

SECOND WIFE: Dessie D. Straight, born 09 Apr 1890, Marion Co., WV, daughter of:

William E. Straight, born 13 Apr 1868 WV, died 24 Dec 1936,  Mannington, Marion Co., West Virginia

Dessie D. Straight was first married to Charles Jasper Hawkins, on 04 Mar 1909. They had two children; a son, Merle, born about 1909 PA, and Julita M., born abt 1911 WV. Evidently, they divorced sometime before 1917.

Thompson Hineman and Dessie (Straight)  Hawkins were married on 24 Dec 1917 in Fairmont, Marion Co., WV.

This marriage probably didn’t last very long as Dessie went back to using the Hawkins surname.

I can’t find Thompson anywhere, under any name variation in 1930, but he should have been in East Liverpool, Columbiana Co., OH, I would think. He died there 28 Jul 1941.

Dessie Straight Hawkins Hineman Hawkins died 16 Aug 1936 in Marion Co., WV.

As an aside, I think this is Dessie’s father in 1930:

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1868
Birthplace: West Virginia

** Ancestry is being funny and won’t load any census images right now, so I can’t check to see the name of the  facility/prison or whatever. I had looked at it before, but didn’t make a note of the name.

I am posting this information regarding Alexander Hindman/Hineman to show his connection to John and Mary (McConnell) Hineman, who were his parents.

West Virginia Death Record - cropped

This is the left portion of the death record which lists the name of parents and  the informant. Informant was Alexander’s daughter, Kathrine Elsina Hineman Wern, who went by Ella. **see her death record further down.

Birth: 04 Nov 1831 PA

Death: 25 Jun 1917 – Clay, Hancock Co., WV

Parents: Alexander Hineman and Amanda Ewing

Informant: Thomas Wern

***********************

Now, on to Edward McConnell Hineman (aka Eddo, Eddy, Mac, Mack) and his twin sister, Edna Myrtle.

Once again, I have cropped the image in pieces to make it easy to see the important information.

West Virginia Birth Record 1871 - Hancock Co.

This is indexed as Eldis McC  Hindman, but if you compare the last letter of his first name to other “s” on the same document, you can tell it is not an “s”. I think it is an “e” for Eddie, even though it does look different from the “e” at the end of Myrtle. In addition, Nancy too a look at it too, and noticed the “M” in McC looks like a “W” until you compare it to other ones on the page, plus it does look like the “M” in Myrtle.

Now, for the parents:

West Virginia Birth Record 1871 - cropped

NOTE: On the original image, the father and mother are listed next to each other, but I cropped and moved Amanda’s part so it would fit  better in this post. Notice it says she had 2 babies, so twins. The parents for Edna Myrtle were left blank, but then the parents of the child below them was accidentally put there, then erased, so that is what you see.

*************

I also found the following marriage information (which I posted previously) for Alexander and Amanda:

Hancock Co., WV GENWEB has name listed as Alexancer HINDERMAN to Amanda Jane EWING, 14 Aug 1856. Source listed as Marcie McClelland.

I have checked the WV vitals, but I can’t seem to pull up marriage records for anyone in 1856, so they must not have them on there yet.

Children (some)  of Alexander Hindman/Hineman and Amanda Jane Ewing:

Here is her 1915 marriage record:

*This one uses the HINEMAN spelling. ** Also note it says she is 18 years-old! She was only about 14/15 years-old. Edward Stoner was quite a bit older.

Laura/Lora was living with grandparents in 1910. Alexander and Amanda give her permission to marry:

*Notice how he/she spells HINEMAN: HINDMAN

*This part also spells surname as HINDMAN.  one uses the HINEMAN spelling.

Name:    Maud Stoner
Home in 1920: Steubenville Ward 1, Jefferson, Ohio
Age: 19 years
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1901
Birthplace: Ohio
Relation to Head-of-house: Wife
Spouse’s name:     Edward
Father’s Birth Place: Ohio
Mother’s Birth Place: Ohio
Marital Status: Married
Household Members:
Name     Age
Edward Stoner 27
Maud Stoner 19
Evelyn Stoner 2 6/12

*Notice Edward has aged 3 years since the marriage and Maud has aged 1 year.

NOW, it seems they are not longer married in 1930. In fact, I can’t find a Laura or a Maud with a daugther Evelyn at all. However, I did find a Margaret married to an Edwin RANKIN, with two STONER daughters, one an Evelyn of the correct age, living in Youngstown, Mahoning, OH:

***
Name:   Evelyn Stoner
Home in 1930: Youngstown, Mahoning, Ohio District 62
Age: 12
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1918
Birthplace: West Virginia
Relation to Head-of-house: Stepdaughter
Mother’s Name:     Margaret
Household Members:
Name     Age
Edwin Rankin     24
Margaret Rankin 29
Evelyn Stoner     12 (step daughter)
Cathleen Stoner 9 (step daughter)

Edwin Rankin appears to have been living with his parents in Summit Co., Ohio, in 1920. The Edwin Rankin living in Summit Co., Ohio was Claude Edwin Rankin, who died in 1935, so he is not the same Edwin Rankin.

This appears to be Edwin’s Social Security Death Record:

Name: Edwin Rankin
Last Residence: 44507  Youngstown, Mahoning, Ohio, United States of America
Born: 31 Dec 1905
Died: Sep 1985
State (Year) SSN issued: Ohio (Before 1951)

And here is Margaret Rankin:

Name:  Margaret Rankin
Last Residence: 44507  Youngstown, Mahoning, Ohio, United States of America
Born: 25 Jul 1900
Died: Jan 1986
State (Year) SSN issued: Ohio (1965-1966)

SO….IS this Laura Maud Hineman? I don’t know.  Actually, now I do think it is the same person. I just found a tree (starr/bucey family tree) on ancestry that lists her name as Margaret Maud HINDMAN. This tree does not list any children for Maud and Edwin Rankin.

Even better, it has Laura Maud Hineman’s mother’s family listed! ANCESTRY.COM LINK

If this is the correct family, Laura’s mother was born in Delaware Co., Iowa, not in Missouri, as listed on one of the census records (1900). Her year of birth is also off, but that seems to be kind of usual for these Hinemans, and being they were living next to Mack’s father, Alexander, maybe he or his wife gave the info to the census taker.

Name: Laura M Tegard
Birth Year: abt 1882
Birth Place: Delaware
Gender: Female
Census Date: 1885
Residence state: Iowa
Residence County: Delaware
Locality: Earlville
Roll: IA1885_176
Line: 28
Family Number:     13
Household Members:
Name     Age
Josiah A Tegard 33
Laura Tegard     26
William Tegard     11
Mabel Tegard     9
Ethel Tegard     7
Laura M Tegard     3

This Tegard family did end up in East Liverpool, I think one sister was in Newell, WV.

One thing, probably not connected, but I haven’t had time to check yet: One of Laura’s (Laura Maud’s mom) sisters married a SWAN. I found a SWAN connection that is related to the DUGAN line (one of Edward Mack Hineman’s sister married a Dugan) and will post the new info after I gather it all together.

________________________

I think I might have posted some of this info below, but just to try to keep this family in one place, I am posting again:

Edward Mack Hineman appears to be remarried to Caroline Anna Pfaffenbach by 1920, and living in Wellsville, Columbiana Co., Ohio in 1910.

Name: E M Hinsman
[E M Hineman]

Mack Hineman must have died between 1910 and 1920:

Name:  Callie Hineman
Home in 1920: Wellsville Ward 2, Columbiana, Ohio
Age: 57 years
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1863

Here is Caroline’s death record. Notice it lists Mac as her deceased husband:

Anna Caroline’s mother was Rosetta/Rosina, depending on the record. Frances’ middle name appears to be Rosetta, based on the West Virginia marriage record:

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Frances and Roy were married very long. I still need to do some more searching for her and the two STONER sisters.

The family search site has just added marriage records for Hancock Co., WV. They don’t have digital copies, just a transcription.  West Virginia Vital Records has birth, marriage, death records, some with digital copies, but no marriages for Hancock Co. as of yet.

Here is what I found for HINEMAN, with my notes to help identify them:
