Alexander and Amanda Jane (Ewing) Hineman

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

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.

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:

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.
