Here's what notes I have on William Whear (and I have a picture of the family of William and his wife Mary as well). Follow my account name to get my email address, and I'll send a copy to you.I have a family picture of Mary's family (siblings/parents) if you would like a copy of that.
Marriage: 12 Dec. 1881 (As reported in the Mifflinburg Telegraph of 12 Dec 1881).Whear-Maister - On the 12th Dec. by Rev. A.C. Whitmer, Mr. Wm. H. Whear, of Hartley Twp, and Miss Mary Maister of Lewis Twp.

Whear (51) and Mary Whear (48) (married 29 years), along with children Laura Whear (20) and Paul Whear (12).All were born in Pennsylvania, and all parents were born in Pennsylvania.Looks like there were 5 or 6 born, with 3 living now.Location is Justice Precinct 2, Colorado, Texas.Roll T624_1540, page 3B (Image: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~usgenweb/tx/colorado/census/1910/21-03b.gifhttp://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~usgenweb/tx/colorado/census/1910/21-03b.gif )
