  • Name Hannah J. FREASURE 
    Born CA 1843  Meigs Co, OH Find all individuals with events at this location  [1
    • Age 32 shown at time of 1869 death would put birth in about 1837. But marriage record and 1860 Census show it as about 1843. Also, birthplace of Doddridge County shown in death record is at variance with Meigs County, Ohio birthplace given in marriage record. It is likely that the death record informant erred in confusing her birthplace with her childhood residence.

    Notes 
    • There is some confusion regarding the parents of Hannah J. Freasure, wife of John Wesley McNemar. There are two entries reported for Hannah and John's Aug 1859 marriage in Doddridge County. The first entry identifies her as Hannah J. Freasure, age 16, daughter of Franklin Freasure. The second entry identifies her as Hannah J. Frashure, age 16, b. Meigs Co, OH, daughter of Allen & Elizabeth Frashure. And her March 1869 death record in Harrison County identifies her as Hannah McNemar, 32, daughter of David & Elizabeth Freashure.
