Brickwall - Barron(e) and Hane

By Pamela Pattison Lash (updated 10 October 2011)

I thought I'd share some information on a brickwall concerning the surnames Barron(e) and Hane.  A researcher sent a query letter to the WCPL and after several hours work, here's a brief summary of what we've found.  If anyone has suggestions, please email me.

Jane Kelly (Local History and Genealogy Director at the Williams County Library in Bryan) and I worked on a researcher's questions concerning Barrone-Hane in this county; Jane checked probate listing, cemeteries, marriages, family files, and obits while I filled in some more data on these.  For my part I can relate there would be NO Mella Hane birth documentation, nor death info for Barron or Hane here as birth and death records were not kept until 1867.  Church records are sparse, as well as obits as early as 1852 are sparse.  Newspapers are spotty until CW period.  We do have good marriage, cemetery readings if stones existed c1950's, probate 1824 - present, and land records for the county.  Other places to check would be the Record's Center for probate and Recorder's Office for land. 

I have put together what was found, the little extras, for you.  I hope if nothing else, this is food for thought.

Please keep us in the loop if you find more info as we always want to stay current with early families.

Early Marriages of Stark Co, OH, v1 1809-1840, AGS, 1986

Hane, Joseph/Elizabeth Barren  16 Oct 1831 – 352  A213

There are several more listed but I imagine you already had this.  I checked this to get a feel for the families before they came to Williams County.

1830 Sugar Creek Twp, Stark Co, OH federal census p324

George Berone

1m 5-9

1m 10-14

1m 30-39

2f under 5

1f 10-14

1f 15-19

1f 30-39

So it looks like the travel pattern for the Barron/Hane group is Stark Co, OH to Wood Co, OH to Hillsdale Co, MI (see below) to Williams Co, OH to Lebanon, Clinton Co, MI for Hane

Internet sites give this as possible Barron lineage

Nicholas Barron and wife Catharina Christina

Johann Philip Barron and wife Eve

George Barron and first wife unknown and second wife Margaret Bechtol, which checks out if the rest of this is true – the children of George Barron and unknown wife are:

1. Elizabeth – Joseph Hane

2. Mary – James Black

3. Elias – Lydia Hane

4. Simon – Barbara Wentz

5. Susana

6. Lydia – Uri Cramton, married 2 Oct 1844, Hillsdale Co, MI

7. Hiram

There is no mention of a brother George, so the Margaret Bechtol probably is new stepmother unless you know there was a brother George.

George Barron of Wood Co, OH – Section 3 – 10S 1W – Section 3 -10S 1W – 80A – 16 Mar 1837

George Barron of Hillsdale Co, MI - Section 33 -9S 1W – 160A -15 June 1837

Joseph Hane of Wood Co, OH – Section 34 – 9S 1W – 160A – 16 Mar 1837; Section 3 – 10S 1W – 40A – same date

1m 15-20

1m 20-30

1m 40-50

John Harve

1m under 5

1m 30-40

1f under 5

1f 20-30

Joseph Harve

1m under 5

1m 5-10

1m 30-40

1f under 5

1f 5-10

1f 20-30

These were listed in order – it is possible that these are mistakes on surnames and could translate to George Barron, John Hane, and Joseph Hane – right area and time frame; note that George appears to be a widower so if this is George Barron, his wife has died bef 1840

Williams County, Ohio Marriages

Elias Barrone/Lydia Hane – V1 p51 – 25 Mar 1841

George Barrow/Margaret Ann Bechtol – V1 p61 – 9 Oct 1842 (there are Bechtols in 1850 Superior Twp – Adam and Ezra families)

Lydia Margaret Han/Philip Fisher – V2 p100 – 14 Oct 1847 (they live in Center Twp 1850; she b 1827 in Verga??)

Williams County, Ohio Probate

Wife - Margaret
Seven children listed
1. Bitsey (Elizabeth) wife of Joseph Hane
2. Nancy wife of James Black
3. Elias
4. Simon
5. Lydia
6. Susana
7. Hiram - to be sent to Westmoreland Co, PA to be brought up by testator's connections there; if not possible, then the court of Williams Co was to appoint a guardian
Executors - John Rings and George Ely
Signed with his mark
Witnessed by Alanson Pike and David Angel 

………my thought is that George came here and married second wife in 1842; died in 1844; no burial records for cemeteries in Millcreek Twp which we checked; no death records; no church records; same for Hane as well as no birth records there for anything before 1867; no obits as well for Barron or Hane…….another question is what happened to Margaret Bechtol Barrone after his death?

According to Issue Docket, Clerk of Court, 1846-1852, the estate of George Barrone, final settlement, continued in the March 1851 Term and in September 1851 Term the estate was finally settled.  This would mean it took approx seven years to complete the task of this estate settlement.

Henry Hane - #314 estate – 17 May 1853

Jacob and John Hane - #1050 guardianship – 3 May 1866

Next you asked for Hane children:

2. Catherine Hane 9 Apr 1834 – 10 Jan 1893………if this is true where is she in 1850 census??

Online sources say this about Hane family –

John or Johannes Hane and wife Catharine have

1. George Washington Hane mar Mary Ann Hoffman in Pickaway Co, OH and end up in Nevins, Vigo Co, IN but there are too many different parents for this GW – suspect info

2. Joseph

3. John

4. Jacob

5. Henry

No daughters mentioned that I could find; #2-5 look like brothers to father and mother John and Catherine; again no death, probate, or burial records for them
