Married Arthur Richard Jackson EALAND

Notes

  • The 1900 census reports a complicated household headed by widow Emma Hicks, with older children named Ealand and younger children named Hicks.  The Ealand children are reported as Emma's stepchildren, so it appears that Emma's first husband was a widower named Ealand who had these two daughters when Emma married him as his second wife.

    Based on the children's ages and surnames, Emma must have married the Hicks children's father between December 1890 (when Harriett was born) and about January 1896 (about 10-11 months before George Hicks was born).

    Christine Hesser was enumerated two times in the 1900 census.  In another listing, she is included with her parents' household in nearby Guadalupe County, Texas.

    Most genealogies lack Emma's parents, but most report her name as Hildebrandt.  One detailed genealogy clarifies that Christine is a half-sister, the last child of Emma's mother, who married a second husband named Hesser after only a few years of marriage to John Hildebrandt who died.  Another genealogy was confusing since it also had Hesser as Therese's maiden name of Emma and Christine's mother, Therese or Theresia Schneider.See the followintg Ancestry genealogy:

    One genealogy shows two husbands, but reports the first husband of Therese Hesser (Hesse) as one Heinrich Saenger, not a Hildebrandt.  This reports Emma and several other Hildebrandt children as children of Therese Hesser and this Heinrich Sanger, without any mention of the different surname.  The second husband of Therese in this genealogy is George Hesser, Christine's father.

    In 1910, the Ealand girls are not in the household.  They are married recently before the census in Milam County, Texas, to brothers Charles and Daniel Fowler.
