I recently was given info from a family Bible that showed siblings to HIRAM which included; CHARLEY JEFF (poss JEFFERSON)born about 1860 JAKE LEO HATTIE MATTIE LIZA (who married KINDER) HIRAM had a twin brother who died young (above in family Bible) EVE born about 1870 THOMAS born about 1868 (info from 1870 Census) I located a 1870 Census with the following info; Name spelled SLINKHARD Bryd Twsp., Jackson PO, Cape Girardean Co., MO This information showed HIRAM and his siblings, but included EVE and THOMAS. It showed JAMES, born about 1837, MO as head of household and MARY, born about 1855, MO, his wife. Census info shows James 33 yrs., farmer Allen, Burch 18 male Illinois farm hand & Martha Wirarffer (possible spelling?)18 yrs listed as help. I located a 1850 Cape Girardeau Census which showed JAMES SLINKARD 12 or 14 yrs JACOB SLINKARD 12 ? living w/ family of Miles, Doyl 61 yrs Eve wife? 44 yrs Leo N18 Theodore 16 L. female 12 Caroline 8 or 2? Hiram 3 months I don't know if this is the same JAMES SLINKARD, but his sons were named HIRAM & LEO and his daughter, Eve. HANNAH ELIZABETH HAHN is the daughter of DAVID HAHN (1834, MO -- 1887, Bollinger Co., MO)buried in the HOLT Cemetery and CAROLYN NISEWONGER (1837, Cape Girardeau, MO -- 1900, Bollinger Co., MO) buried in the HOLT Cemetery. Does anyone know which SLINKARD line JAMES connects to? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Linda
