CLARINDA3 HILLS (JOEL2, ELISHA1) was born August 09, 1815 in Maulino, Onondaga County, New York, and died February 15, 1898 in Albany, Green County, Wisconsin. She married (1) JONATHAN MATHERS. She married (2) LINUS HARE August 31, 1840. He was born September 28, 1811 in Onondaga County, New York, and died February 01, 1883 in Albany, Green County, Wisconsin. Notes for CLARINDA HILLS: Obituary from The Monroe Sentinel Wednesday, February 16, 1898 Mrs. Clarinda Hills, widow of the late Linas Hare, and recent wife of Jonathan Mathers, of this city, died at her residence, on Tuesday, February 15th, yesterday. Her son, Mr. Alva Hare, and daughters, Mrs. Henrietta Burt and Mrs. C. J. Stephens were at her bedside when she passed to her rest. Clarinda Hills was born in Maulino, N.Y. 1818, was married to Mr. Linas Hare, August 31, 1840. Came west to Michigan in 1844, and in 1846 came to Sylvester and resided there until 18 years ago when the family removed to Monroe. Mrs. Hare was married to Mr. Jonathan Mathers in 1891. The funeral will be held at the Gap Church, Albany township tomorrow, at 11:00 o'clock A.M. The service at the house will be at 8 o'clock A.M. Mrs. Hare was an excellent Christian woman, and many who knew her live to bless her memory. This is my GG-gparents family. Wm. Charles Sanders and Louisa Hills who were married in Manlius, Onondaga Co., Ny abt 1830. Census of 1855 Lincklaen Chenango Co., NY Read on 16 August 1850 Family #1123 William Sanders 43 b. NY (everyone in household born NY) Loisa Sanders 37 Dinison Sanders 19 Calista Sanders 16 Lucella Sanders 13 Polly Sanders 11 Collumbus Sanders 07 Eunice Sanders 06 JOEL Sanders 05 Emaretta Sanders 03 Duane Sanders 01 Family #1183 JOSHUA SANDERS 81 B. RI OLIVE SANDERS 78 B. RI (I believe the above are the parents of all the children including William, Joshua Jr., Abel, etc. The oldest were b. RI the younger NY.) Other families of Sanders listed in 1850 Lincklaen include: Joshua Sanders (Junior, I suppose) 50 b. RI and his family. His wife Mary was b. RI as was an elderly woman Lydia Champlin 81 who may be Mary's mother. All the offspring were b. NY. Abel Sanders 41 b. NY He appears to be a widower and all children b. NY =============== Although William and family are not listed in Lincklaen in 1855, other members of his family are. They include: #99 George and Olive Baker George was b. MA, Olive RI She is a Sanders as her mother, Olive Sanders 84 b. RI is in household listed as Mother-in-law. Another member Nancy Carpenter 61 b. RI is listed as sister so she too may be a Sanders. Joshua Sanders Sr. must have died by this time. Abel Sanders 46 and family are there; he's been 25 years in town of Lincklaen and born in Chenango Co. Joshua Sanders 55 b. RI has been in town for 30 yrs. His wife Mary 51 also b. RI and children born Chenango Co. George Sanders 57 b. RI has been in town for 40 yrs. ================ Do you have evidence that William went to the midwest in the 1850's? I do think that the families listed point to circumstantial evidence of Joshua (ca. 1769) and Olive (ca. 1772) Sanders being the parents of Nancy (ca. 1794), Olive (ca. 1796), George (ca. 1798), Joshua (ca. 1800), William (ca. 1807) b. RI and Abel (ca. 1809) b. NY. This would indicate their arrival from RI ca. 1808 and they'd be counted in the German census for 1810. According to the 1810 census: Males: 2/2/0/1/0// Joshua Sr. would be 45 or under (about 41) William and Abel would be under 10, (about 3 and 1), George and Joshua would be 10 to 16, (about 12 and 10) Females: 1/1/1/1/1// The woman in the over 45 category may have been Olive or Joshua's mother Olive would be in the under 45 category (about 38) Two daughters I've identified are Olive Baker and Nancy Carpenter so I'm missing a third according to the 1810 census which identifies a girl under 10 (???), one between 10 and 16 probably Olive who would have been about 14, and another between 16 and 26 probably Nancy who would have been about 16. Of course, they could have had more children after 1810 as well. Guess that's enough for now .. who knows, we may find more about this whole family yet! Hope this is all interesting for you. By the way, Manlius in Onondaga Co. wouldn't have been too far from Lincklaen. There were probably family connections there as well. Please be adivised that Joshua and Olive relationship is only tentative as to being parents of My GGgfa Wm. Sanders. Stan Brookshier, Sr.
