Whom We Suspect
Subjects are unknown.
They are possibly daughters of a sibling of Charlie or Minnie, but could be anyone.
Identification: none.
About the Photo
Photo taken by Johnson Portraits, 223 E. Main St., Jackson, Michigan.
Date: Unknown
No handwriting, or identification other than photographer information, was on the front or back of this photograph. The photographer's Negative No. is, unfortunately, missing or is totally faded, and, if ever present, may have been trimmed off.
Original photo is typical of those taken in the late 1800's and early 1900's and was trimmed (possibly to fit into an old-type photo album).
This photo is the cabinet type (pasted to thick cardboard).
What Else We Know
The photographer's Jackson location indicates these two young females were in that area of Michigan at the time of this photo.
Charles Hinton's obituary and funeral documents state he moved away from Jackson, Michigan, in 1901. Charles and Minnie, and their 3 daughters, are found on the 1900 Jackson City, Jackson County, Michigan census.
Stella Ann Hinton, Charles and Minnie's third child and youngest daughter, was born April 26, 1900 in Jackson, Jackson County, Michigan. (I include the following in hopes of finding descendants of Stella Ann Hinton Loucks)
Stella Hinton married April 24, 1916 in Boise, Ada Co., Idaho, Fred Raymond Loucks. The couple had four sons, Albert, Alden, Byron, and Fred. Albert and Alden died in infancy. Freddie died 05 Jan 1944 at the age of 23. Byron Loucks died July 27, 1995 in Boise, Ada Co., Idaho. His 1995 obituary mentions he was survived by two sons, Fred Loucks of Washington, and Byron Loucks of Oklahoma.
Our Reasoning
In 1900, Charles and Minnie Hinton lived in Jackson, Michigan, as did at least 3 other Hinton sons, William, Sturges Allen, and Arthur H. Hinton.
The James Henry Hinton and Martha Ann Moore family lived in Iosco County, Michigan. Their daughters Hazel Salina Hinton, born 23 Dec 1888, and Fern Elisabeth Hinton, born 02 Jan 1895, both married in Iosco County, MI, each to a husband with the last name of Schreiber or Schrieber, sons of John Schreiber, Sr. (or Johann Schreiber) and Susanna Grenke (or Susanna Grinkey). Neither of these unknown photo subjects resemble Jim Hinton's daughters.
Also residing in Michigan were members of our families NORTH and OLIVER.
We suspect the girls in this photo are descendants of the lost HINTON clan, though they could be from any of our families.
Comments
Charles Oliver Hinton was one of 9 sons. It is believed his parents immigrated through Quebec, Canada to the USA.
Charles Hinton's funeral preparation documents state that his parents were James Hinton born in England and Samanthy Oneal born in Ireland.
UPDATE: This is erroneous information by an informant unknown (not listed).
Parents are THOMAS HINTON and CELINA O'NEILL. Thomas was born about 1825 in England, Celina (aka, Sallany, Selina, Salina) born 27 Apr 1829 in Quebec, Canada.
09/24/2002 update: Conflicting names of parents found:
It is possible we were told the "familiar names" or middle names for this couple and some of their 9 sons.
1900 Michigan census records show 5 Hinton families which may be ours, 4 are definitely ours (Charles and Minnie, and Arthur and Lillie, William and Polly, James and Martha.).
Our search is in an early stage, so, naturally, we hope to find more traces of our family. Please visit the link below. You may recognize a name or face that would help us in our research.
