AVIS, EBBINGHOUSE, EYESTONE, HAMILTON, REED, ROSS, STEELE

dlhamilton@tamu.edu Donny Hamilton Wed Apr 2 01:01:10 1997
First a general question. What court records in Fayette Co. would you look in to find commitment hearings. In Dec. 1857, my ggfm, Susan M. HAMILTON was committed to the Central State Hospital, which was the insane asylum of the day. I have an index card from CSH with basic data, but no other records survive. Since she was committed from Fayette Co., a hearing should have been held there. Since these records are new to me, I am not sure where to look. Susan HAMILTON was born Susan M. ROSS on 7 Apr. 1825, the daughter of Joseph D. ROSS and his wife Elizabeth. Susan married George E. HAMILTON in Fayette Co. on 26 Nov. 1848 and she died 25 Nov. 1860. I have her immediate Ross family and some of their descendants and I have the HAMILTON Family. George E. HAMILTON was the son of James HAMILTON and Mary "Polly" EYESTONE. Susan and George HAMILTON had four children: Thomas Jefferson Greenberry HAMILTON (my ggf)married Joanna EBBINGHOUSE
Delorus Cortenes HAMILTON (a son) married Emma REED
Florence Eleanor HAMILTON - married Homer STEELE
William Marshall HAMILTON - married Savannah AVIS
Interested in corresponding on anyone connecting to these lines and help on where to look to find the commitment court records. Donny Hamilton

I am quering information on the JEFFREY surname. Lewis Johnson JEFFREY and his wife Rebecca WILSON were listed in the 1840 census. Betweeen 1840 and 1860 several names have appeared in Fayette Co. Surely they probably were all related. Lewis was born in New York and Rebecca was born in Ohio. Lewis moved to Noble, in Wabash Co prior to 1850 and on to Quincy, IA. I assume John is a brother, who moved to Noble prior to 1870. Allen a blacksmith also probably a brother was already in Adams Co, IA. Lewis had several children born in Fayette County. John, 1842, William 1844, James my great great grandfather born in April 1846, and Alexander in 1848. Alexander may have been born in Wabash Co or Fayette Co. George M. and Marcelia were born in Wabash Co.(probably) In 1860, in Iowa Lewis had Parmita, Jennie and Addie.
