A Murdered Child In My Cousin's Family Tree
The murder came to my attention while browsing newspapers online. Little did I know that the child's mother was already in my family tree!
Evelyn/Eveline (Barnum) Hillier was the daughter of Joseph and Caroline (Pollock) Barnum and the granddaughter of Calvin and Evaline (Jennings) Barnum. My first cousins are also descendants of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Barnum. Evelyn Barnum married Robert Hillier on August 8, 1908.
Cause of Death for two day old Joseph Hillier was listed as unknown on his death certificate, 13 January 1909, in Genesee County, Michigan.
Robert E. Hillier was sentenced to the prison at Ionia, Michigan:
Evaline Barnum Hiller married 2nd Louis Bolio (1888-1917) in 1912. She married 3rd Rudolph Honewald.
Evelyn/Eveline (Barnum) Hillier was the daughter of Joseph and Caroline (Pollock) Barnum and the granddaughter of Calvin and Evaline (Jennings) Barnum. My first cousins are also descendants of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Barnum. Evelyn Barnum married Robert Hillier on August 8, 1908.
Robert E. Hillier, son of Leslie (or Wesley) and Mary (Deck) Hillier, age 20, killed his wife's child* in 1909 in Flint. One account of the murder indicated that a few months earlier Evelyn had filed an assault charge against her employer; was the baby Robert's child?

Charlotte Husted, Mother Of Eveline (Jennings) Barnum
A BARNUM researcher (Sharon) told me that she sent the Calvin Barnum family tree to the Montrose [MI] Historical Society and generously offered to help me update my research. Calvin Barnum's father, Joshua, bought property in Erie County, New York; Joshua's birthplace has not been determined. Calvin moved to Michigan; his brother Joshua (Jr.) moved to Missouri and another brother, Leonard, stayed in Erie County, NY. (My paternal aunt married Ray Barnum, one of Calvin's descendants). Calvin (1836 - 1891) is buried in the Montrose Cemetery.
Calvin Barnum was married to Eveline Jennings (1842 - 1928), daughter of Joseph & Charlotte (Husted) Jennings. After being contacted by Sharon, a closer look was in order for my Barnum/Jennings file. It was time to resolve the question of whether or not Charlotte (Husted) Jennings had married John Warner. The question was implied when a Frank Jennings was found living in the household of John and Charlotte Warner in 1880. Who was Frank Jennings and what was his relationship, if any, to the Warners?
There was a marriage between John Warner and Charlotte Jennings on 29 August 1879 in Saginaw Co., Michigan; was the bride Charlotte (Husted) Jennings?
My notes reflected that Joseph & Charlotte Jennings and their children Evaline (who married Calvin Barnum), Margary, age 11, and Susan, age 3, were living in Atlas Twp., Genesee County, Michigan in 1860:
Jennings, Joseph, 52, b. NY
" , Charlotte, 42, b. NY
" , Evaline, 18, b. MI
" , Margary, 11, b. MI
" , Susan, 3, b. MI
In 1870 Joseph & Charlotte Jennings were still in Atlas Township and were joined by their daughter Mary (Margary), her husband, George Thorett, and their son, Franklin. The Jennings' son Eli, was living next door with his family:

Franklin Thorett, age 3, was the right age to be Frank Jennings in the 1880 census living with Charlotte; but his surname was Thorett, not Jennings. However, when Frank J. Jennings married Mrs. Electa (Bassett) Bennett, his parents were listed as Geo. Thorett and Margery Jennings.
Based upon the records above, Frank Jennings enumerated in the 1880 census was the son of Margery Jennings and the grandson of Charlotte (Husted) Jennings. Charlotte (Husted) Jennings married John Warner based upon said records.
