Samuel Hearing married Susan Helmick in Morgan County, Ohio on 29 Feb 1828. We have reason to believe that she died and he then married Susannah Fox. They had 9 children. Samuel and Susannah migrated to Indiana and then on to Putnam County, MO. In the spring of 1862 the five older children were married and had families of their own. They, with their parents and the younger children, joined the wagon train in Independence, MO and started for Oregon. After a trip of almost 6 months, the train reached the banks of the Snake River where, on 22 Sept 1862 Samuel Sr. died. Four days later Susannah died, and on 26 Sept, their son John died. They all are buried in the Rock Creek Cemetery near Haines, Oregon. I would love to hear from Hearing descendants - or??. I do have more to the story of their trip west.

How nice to hear from a representative of two mysterious people who approximate the time period and have marriages to cousins of the same family. Here we go: Susannah Thompson HEARING b. 18 Nov 1853 m. 1883 Crook Co.., OR Silas Eugene HODGES, an early pioneer with other relatives in helping establish Prineville, OR Susannah's parents - Amos THOMPSON and Elizabeth HON Why is Susannah's surname different from her father's? Was she previously m. to someone named HEARING? Hiram HEARNING? m. Sep 1879 Mary Emeline HODGES b. 5 July 1859 I do not know where this couple was married, if they had children or much of anything at all, but for the fact that Mary died 25 Oct 1924 - Seattle, King Co., WA Would it be a proper assumption that the extra "N" in Hiram's name is just a typo, and that it should also be spelled "HEARING"? If that's so, what is the relationship bet. hirram & susannah? If you could please shed some light here, please do so. If, indeed we are related, I would enjoy the story even more. The HODGES family came 1847, and families with which they became associated mostly c ame in '47, '52, and '53 . Thanks, Ken Robinson (b.
