Hiram Nowland

Abt 1824 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	Hiram Nowland  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1824	New York, USA   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Death	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	Hiram Nowland was not with his parents in the 1850 census, so may have been married by then. The only census in which he has been found so far is 1880, when he was in the Village of New Boston, Huron Tp, Wayne Co, Mich. He appeared to have a middle initial of R., but that interpretation is not certain. He was 56, and employed as a Nursery Agent. His (second) wife Eliza was 52, born in Michigan, both her parents born in New Jersey. With them were John and Edna O'Coner, aged 25 and 21, undoubtedly the daughter Edna reported by CWW. John was a brick mason. There was a widow Eliza Nowland in New Boston in 1900, born Dec 1824, who could be Hiram's widow, shaving her age about 4 years. But this Eliza was born in New York, and both her parents too instead of New Jersey. She was with John and Mina Neaman in their 40s, both of German parents, and Mina was born in Germany also. There were children in the household, then "Father" Cristan Kahl aged 74 and born in Germany, followed by Eliza Nowland who was called "Sister". How she could be sister to either John or Mina Neaman is hard to fathom, since there was no sign of a German background. So she still remains a mystery. Mina Neaman and Cristan Kahl had both come to America in 1874. DBRX gave only one wife for Hiram - Eloisa Jane Smith, b ca 1829 - Mich. the names "Eliza" and Eloisa" could have been confused by the census taker, and be the same person. CWW's source for the name Cornelia is not known. [2]
