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 “1766-1775” 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 “1775” 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. (“Shipp” may be a misspelling of “Snapp”?)
Note that Mary’s maiden name was “Trigg”, but she was previously married to a
“Snapp”.) (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
“Earlewine” 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 George’s daughter
Elizabeth.
The next
page also has interesting people. There is a “Mary Earlywine”, who I think is
the widow of George’s brother Daniel? Also George’s sons Jacob Earlywine and
Daniel Earlywine are on the page, living near their half-brother George Snap.
There are two additional “Snap” 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 George’s daughter Elizabeth) is in same census. (Son Jacob has already
moved to Rush County, IN. Daughter Elizabeth and husband Jacob Mann will soon
follow.)

Spouse: Mary
TRIGG
Birth: abt 1750? 1775? KY, PA, or VA

One source
reports that first husband Johann George Snapp was killed by Indians at “George
Summit’s Station”, Nicholas County, KY in 1785, and that he left two children,
George Jr. and Susanna. Susanna was age 2 when father was killed. (Reported as
taken from a Nicholas Co., KY, history book 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, who married James Hillock.
