Hiram Owens
Found Census records for this man in Montgomery Twp., Marion Co., OH. It appears that his wife Sarah apparently died between 1860 and 1870 and that he remarried to a woman named Jane. Given the age gap between the children, it is pretty clear that Hiram's third child was with his second wife.
- 1860 Census - OH, Marion Co., Montgomery Twp., La Rue PO: Hiram Owens, age 38, born in DE, "farmer"; with wife Sarah Owens, age 33, born in OH; and children all born in OH - Minerva, age 9; and William, age 4; and with live-in domestic servant Selena Warner.
- 1870 Census - OH, Marion Co., Montgomery Twp., La Rue PO: Hiram Owens, age 48, born in DE, "farmer"; with wife Jane Owens, age 38; and children both born in OH - son William H., age 14, and daughter U. A., age 6; plus an 82-year-old woman Margaret, born in DE, presumably Hiram's mother.
- By the 1880 Census, still in Montgomery Twp., Hiram no longer appears because Jane is "widowed," Margaret Owens is still in the household, now at the extraordinary age of 93, as are children William H. (or "A.") and daughter U. A., now listed as "Augusta.
Note: To assist those who may be interested in this photo for genealogy, other photos found with this one indicate that Hiram's first wife was Satira(?) "Sarah" Sprague, that their daughter Minerva married a Mr. Campbell, that their son William went by the nickname "Chesney"; and that Hiram's second wife was Jane Carey, half sister of Sarah Day, and that their daughter Augusta married a Mr. Osborn. We have not searched records to verify this information, but it appears on inscriptions on other photos.
