    • I have not yet found proof of William and Mercy's marriage location. My assumption is based on the fact that I believe Mercy was living in Howard, Steuben County, in 1850 (this hasn't been proven as of yet) and William Was living in Urbana, Steuben County, 1850 an 1855, that they were married somewhere in Steuben County.

      Estimated date based on date of 1855 census and birth of birth child (minus 9 months)


      I wonder if William and Sarah (his second wife) were having an affair, resulting in the birth of their daughter Ellen Hawley (Between 1869 - 1871). What makes me question this more is the fact that Mercy (his first wife) bought property in her own name right next to William in January of 1869. In July 1871, Mercy died of an accidental gunshot wound. The property she had purchased wasn't left to William but was instead left to her daughter Minnie Belle.

      Mrs. Hawley, whom we spoke of last week as having accidently shot herself, died on Sunday morning. She was supposed to be getting along very well up to a few hours before her death. She morning been quite deranged for two days and nights, - at times almost unmanageable, - requiring the constant care of her husband and nurse; but on Saturday evening she fell into a deep slumber from which she never aroused. The nurse, worn out with constant watching, had laid down, leaving the husband to watch the sufferer. Soon after Mr. Hawley call her, saying that he could not hear his wife breathe, and upon examination she was found dead. She had quietly passed away. The deceased was about thirty-five years of age. She was the first white woman to settle west of the North Branch. Mr. hawley settle on a homestead about four years ago, and by hard work the family were making for themselves a comfortable home, when this calamity fell upon them. Mr. Hawley is left with three children to continue the struggles of life alone. He has the heartfelt sympathy of all who knew the family. The deceased died at the residence of J.A. Case, in this city, where she received every care and attention that humanity dictated. Everything was done to save her, but the injuries were of such a nature as to render all means unavailing.
