Hi.This is rather late, but I have some info concerning William & Elizabeth.William was married first to Margaret Rebecca Hoover, on Oct. 5, 1847, Daviess Co.They had one daughter, Nancy, who married John Cochran (my ancestors).Margaret died young, and William then married Elizabeth Hammersly, on Feb. 9, 1853.Elizabeth (b:Jan 1834) and William (b:Aug 10, 1824-D:Oct 28, 1902-buried in Sandborn Cemetery, Knox Co In) had the three children you noted.Heenan (Heanan?-abt 1859), Anna (abt 1862), Sears (Sayres?-abt 1876).Census records show different spellings for Heenan and Sears through the years.
William's father was Edmund Hulen (b: abt 1795 NC), and his mother was Nancy Cunningham (b: abt 1795). They were married Apr 28 1817, Edwardsport, IN; their children were Simpson (abt 1819), John (abt 1822), William, and Edmund, but they may have had more.
This family is very difficult to research, as there were so many repeated family names.Most of my info came from marriage and census records, but I gathered some from Ancestry.com and other places.I have Edmund's father as Ambrose (b: abt 1766), and his mother as Jane Bicknell (b: abt 1772.They had 11 children.
