This Mary Hanes/Hains may or may not be the sister or duplicate entry of Margaret Jane Ann Hanes, spouse of Matthias Shanor/er, son of David. Their husbands may or may not be the same people. Their children may or may not be erroneous entries or they may be named after one another, if so, their years of birth may be 1 year off or so. If the wives/children in these two families are crossed, the Mary Hanes (with her children) that is the spouse of Matthias, son of David Shanor, seems to be more valid than Matthias, son of Matthias.[shanor.FTW]

1860 census in Meigs Co, Salem twp with husband John Miller (farmer, personal property value $100), children Adesin and Martin (day laborer). Mary and both children born PA. Is Martin a Shanor or a Miller (probably a Shanor)? Why are none of the Shanor children with Mary? Most would have been in their late teens. What about Ellen and Arvina? An Ellen Shanor, age 13, was in HH of Jacob Mirser/Maser, Meigs, Rutland 9/8 1860. Martin at that age was likely Martin Shanor. Abraham was likely the A. Shanor with wife and child in Rutland Twp., 1860.

Mary signs for her share of Abraham's estate with an X. Her husband signs his name in German.

Per Joyce Davis: Coy Hill Cemetery in Salem Twp., John Miller, d. Feb 25, 1868, age 70 yr, 14 (sci) mo. Probably the correct John Miller. Also there is a Joseph E. Miller, d. 1871, son of J. & M. Miller, theirs?
