I have almost all / most of the early Pierce / Pearce families in Climax down, well sourced and properly placed. Philo is one of my grandparents. Yes, his death record correctly gives Hamlin as her name but the main the source is when Clarissa applies for her husbands War 1812 pension and states her name as Hamlin. This whole White / Hamlin thing had been an ongoing pain with just a few family members that I thought was cleared up. I think the inaccurate information came from the death record of one of Philo's siblings. The person that put the information on the Kalamazoogenealogy.org site put the information that's contained at a couple different places in Kalamazoo and had no way to know differently. I've sent better, complete records for them to use at this point. They had all good intentions. :) If you'd really like to find something... who is the Mrs. King buried in Prairie Home Cemetery in Climax? No dates.. just the name, Mrs. King known so far. Knowing who she is would be very helpful and greatly appreciated to know. Wayne looked into it before and couldn't match a death and I've been looking out for her for years and can't figure it out. Cemetery only has Mrs. King also and no more information that I've found in their data base. Here are the people she's buried with: Smith Francis L. 1842 1914 Original 6 1 (Husband of Martha) Smith Leora 1882-1886 Original 6 3 (Daughter of Francis and Martha) Smith Martha 1859 1921 Original 6 2 (Daughter of Elipha Spicer and Isaac/ Isiah Filkins) Wells Mrs. Worden 1809-1893 Original 6 4 King Mrs. N/Available Original 6 5 I know all of them except her. Mrs. Worden Wells is Elipha Spicer Filkins Wells and I wouldn't doubt that this Mrs. King is a possible daughter or granddaughter. I just don't know for sure. Could also be step daughter or step granddaughter as there are many children involved with her marriages. You'll probably notice I've posted a lot of information on this message board for years ;) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
