    1. Hubbard Mills Stewart
    2. Sharon R Shaffer
    3. I was wondering if anyone has any info on Ader/Ada b 1906 in Clay Co mentioned below. She was married to a Lloyd Mills but had this child Robert Stewart. I don't know if she was married to Mills at the time or the name of the father. This is when Ada died in Knox Co. Ada Mills died Oct 10, 1975 in Knox County. Age 70 Death Certificate 25441 in Vol 51. This is what I know. Ader/Ada's mother was Lucy Hubbard d/o Isaac Ike and Julia Ann Gray Hubbard from Clay Co. Lucy married first Bev Davis/Davidson in 1900 they had Ada and both re-married someone else. Lucy married Irvine Harris but neither Bev or Lucy raised the daughter. You always find Ada living with Ike and Julie but living next to the Harris's in clay Co. Lucy had more children but I think Ada just kept the name Hubbard. I have found a Harris relative and he told me for sure that Ada married a Mills and that Robert Stewart was Ada's son but died in an Auto accident. I am not sure yet if this Arnold and June Mills are hers but Roberts is. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. On any of the names connected to Ada Hubbard. Thanks, Sharon It also appears that Ada may have had these children. From the KY Birth CD's: STEWART, Robert b. 8-5-1928 in Knox Co.; maiden name of mother: Ader HUBBARD MILLS, Arnold, b. 5-19-1939 in Knox Co.; maiden name of mother: Ada HUBBARD MILLS, June, b. 10-7-1940 in Knox Co.; maiden name of mother: Ada HUBBARD 1920 Clay, White's Branch, Precinct #12 Dwelling 111-111 HARRIS, Irvin, husband, 45, b.

He will if he belongs to the Knox Co. Message Board. He and I have shared some interesting information which he had and some which I had with regard to Barren D. ALLEN. I'll forward some of this on to you. Something interesting he pointed out was that B. D. ALLEN married yet a 4th time (other wives dead per marriage cert.) to an Emeline MERIDA. Have you ever heard of her? She gives her age as 52 years, born in Knox Co., her 3rd marriage (other husbands dead). They married on april 27, 1914 in Knox Co. Also, I believe the first wife of B. D. ALLEN listed as Eliza Jane (nee HAMMONDS/HAMMONS) was the dau. of Elijah HAMMONDS and his wife, Nancy CROOK who married in Knox Co. By 1860 they are gone from Knox Co. but on the 1870 Orange Co., IN Fed. Census they reappear. She is listed as Jane HAMMONS there. On the 1850 Knox Co., she is a one year old Elizabeth. Elijah was the son of Obadiah HAMMONS. Anthony sent their marriage record to me. Another family I found in Orange Co., IN in 1870 was William COPE who is on the 1850 Knox Co. with wife, Mary or Polly (nee HAMMONS, dau. of Obediah). So also is Shadrach ALLEN, father of B. D. ALLEN with a wife and other siblings. found in Orange Co., IN as of 1870. Some of the MILLS were also there at that point. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA

    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CBB.2ACE/5107 Message Board Post: This is my grandmother. When she married Adison Merida in Knox County it was second marriage for both. I have recently been in contact with a Moore family member and have been able to find some additional information. I am willing to share information that I have. Adison and Mary left an infant son buried in Big Richland Cemetery (unmarked grave) and came to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) in December of 1903 with their four sons and four daughters. My Dad, Clint Merida, was 19 years of age at the time. Janie
