Misc. Notes
AGES:
Census information suggests that the ages I have for this family have
significant logical inconsistencies.
If you combine data from the 1810, 1820 and 1830 census, it suggests
that George must have been born between 1766 and 1775, and that wife Mary must
have been born between 1760 and 1765. Further, I think their youngest son was
born in about 1805, not 1825 as some show (one site says he was married in
1830, so "1805" fits everything much better!
The
above birth range for George of Ò1766-1775Ó causes concerns about military
service, suggesting that if he was in the military, he must have been born
closer to 1766? Also a date as late as Ò1775Ó would be awkward for his marriage
in 1787?
History
of Nicholas County, complied and edited by Joan Weissinger Conley 1976 and
states on page 214 (NOTES ABOUT GEORGE AND HIS BROTHER DANIEL):
DANIEL
EARLYWINE was born in PA. He
enlisted in the 13th VA Regiment of Foot about 1777 for the duration of the
War. In 1778 he was with George
Washington at Valley Forge and in 1779 was at Fort Pitt. around 1785 he and his brother George
came to KY and settled in that part that later became Nicholas County. He married Mary Fight in Bourbon County
July 24, 1786. His children were:
Phoeba, Susannah, Elizabeth, Daniel Jr, Rebecca, George, Nancy, Jesse, Christina
and Mahala.
GEORGE
EARLYWINE was born in PA and served in the PA Militia during the Revolutionary
War. After the war he came to KY
and married Mary Snap (my input...she was a Trigg who had first married a
Snapp), widow of George Snap, Feb 17,1787 in Bourbon County. The family lived in Nicholas County, until
1825-30. At this time they sold
their property and moved to Indiana.
His children were William, Jacob, Daniel, Sallie, Elizabeth, James and
John.
Memo
by Fred Coffey: I can find other sources that show Daniel Earlywine military
service. However I cannot verify anything for George.
From
"Bourbon County, KY Marriage Bonds", George witnessed the marriage of
John Adkins to Elizabeth Stockwell on March 21, 1789. In the "Kentucky
Gazeteer" Volume V, Number XLI, June 23, 1792 is a short article that
reads: "George Earliwine, 15 February 1792, found a mare in Bourbon County
near Summit Station." Bourbon County is just N.E. of Lexington, KY. George
bought 100 acres from John Cook on March 8, 1799 for 30 pounds. Recorded in
book E page 145 at Paris, KY Courthouse. Served in Pennsylvania militia.
Paid
taxes in Nicholas Co., KY in 1800 per AIS Census Report pg. 154. Summit Station
was a settlement in Nicholas Co. 12 mi. from Lower Blue Licks. See Pennsylvania
Archives 6th series Vol. 2, pg. 30.
The
marriage of George Earlywine and Mary Shipp on 19 Feb 1787 is recorded in the
Bourbon County, Kentucky Marriage Records. (ÒShippÓ may be a misspelling of
ÒSnappÓ?) Note that MaryÕs maiden name was ÒTriggÓ, but she was previously
married to a ÒSnappÓ.) (Note also Mary had two children by her first marriage,
George Snapp Jr. born in 1780, and Susannah in 1786.)
NICHOLAS
COUNTY PROPERTY TAX LISTS, 1800-1811:
George
Earlywine appears as paying taxes in all years. He does not own slaves in any
of these years. His brother Daniel also appears in all years. His son Jacob
first appears in 1808, when he becomes of age.
1810
CENSUS, KENTUCKY, NICHOLAS CO.:
George
ÒEarlewineÓ is found, age 26-44, with wife age 45+. Children are a male under
age 10, a male 16-25, a female under age 10 (that would have to be Elizabeth),
two females 10-15, and one female 16-25. I suspect the household includes their
son Daniel, and his wife?
Their
son Jacob is found in the same census for Nicholas County. Household consists
only of him and his wife, both age 16-25. Kentucky marriage records say Jacob
married Heziah Dotson on 25 Jan 1810.
1820
CENSUS, KENTUCKY, NICHOLAS CO:
George
Earlywine found, he and his wife are over age 45 and they have one female child
age 16-26 living at home. (Since Elizabeth got married in 1818, that child
would presumably be Sarah.)
They
appear to be living next door to a William Earlywine, who is of the right age
to be their son. George does not own slaves, but son William owns four. Also on
same census page is Jacob Mann, our ancestor, who married GeorgeÕs daughter
Elizabeth.
The
next page also has interesting people. There is a ÒMary EarlywineÓ, who I think
is the widow of GeorgeÕs brother Daniel? Also GeorgeÕs sons Jacob Earlywine and
Daniel Earlywine are on the page, living near their half-brother George Snap.
There are two additional ÒSnapÓ cousins, Daniel and Samuel, on the page.
1830
CENSUS, KENTUCKY, NICHOLAS CO.:
George
is of course dead, but wife Mary Earlywine is found in the census. She lives
alone, and is age 60-70. However she lives next door to son William Earlywine
and his family. There is also an adjacent David Earlywine, but I don't know how
he fits into the family. Son Daniel is a couple of pages over. None of these
people own slaves.
Jacob
Mann (married GeorgeÕs daughter Elizabeth) is in same census. (Son Jacob has
already moved to Rush County, IN. Daughter Elizabeth and husband Jacob Mann
will soon follow.)

published in 1976).Mary had two children by her first husband, Johann George
SNAPP. They were George Snapp Jr. born 18 Feb 1780, and Susannah born 24 Jan
1786.
