H.B. Verner & sister Amantha Verner - b AL 1820s
Who are the parents of H. B. Verner and his sister Amantha Verner?
Harvey B. Verner was known as H.B. Verner.He was born 1821 in AL and died in 1893 at his home near Vineyard, Wise County TX.Here are dates and places where I've placed H.B. Verner
1821 – born AL
1844 – marries Rebecca Boutwell in Fannin County, TX
1850 & 1860 – in Fannin County, TX censuses
1861 – marries Amanda E. Byers in Fannin County, TX
1863-1869 – Member Masonic Lodge in Gainesville (Cooke County), TX
1869 – Marries Martha Sills in Jack County TX
1870 & 1880 – in Jack County TX censuses
1879 until death – member Masonic Lodge in Chico (Wise County) TX
1893 – dies at his home near Vineyard, Wise County TX
The "B" in H.B. may stand for Bloomfield.
H. B. Verner's sister, Amantha Verner, was born Jan 29, 1825, in AL and lived to be 102.She was apparently married to a Hawkins, but I do not know his first name.I have been unable to find Amantha in the 1850 census.Amanthalived with or near her brother H.B. in the censuses of 1860, 1870, & 1880; there was no husband with her in any of the census records.Her death certificate does not name her husband or parents.At least two census records state that she had six children; I've identified three:
Nancy Hawkins, b Jan 1850 in either TN or AL; died between 1900 & 1910
Harvey B. Hawkins, b abt 1853 TN; died between 1880 & 1900
Harriet Rebecca Hawkins, b 1855 in Arkansas; d 1926 Pittsburg County OK
There was a newspaper article about Amantha's 100th birthday.The article states that "She was born in Alabama but grew to womanhood in Tennessee.From Tennessee she moved to Georgia where she was married."
