Descendants of Peter Hildebrand

16. JONATHAN⁶ HILDEBRAND (JONATHAN⁵, JOHN H.⁴, JACOB³, JACOB², PETER¹) was born 1783 in North Carolina (what became Tennessee), and died Abt. 1862. He married (1) MARY? Abt. 1810. She died Bef. 1828. He married (2) SARAH WICKERHAM March 22, 1829 in Jefferson Co., MO. She was born 1792 in OH.

Notes for JONATHAN HILDEBRAND:
Jonathan's first wife died between 1825 and 1828. He married Mrs. Sarah Jones (nee Wickerham) 22 March 1829. She was born 1792 in Ohio. Since the census (above) was taken in 1830, one year after this marriage, it is possible that some of the children listed by ages are Jones children by her previous marriage. She had been married to Marshall Jones who died before 6 Mar 1828. She was administratrix of his estate in Jefferson County.(Allan Huskey) We need to know the names and birthdates of the Jones children.

Some of the Jones family are listed on p. 433 of the 1850 census of Jefferson Co. There is a William C. Jones who married Ann Drennen 2 May 1838, Jeff. Co. and a younger William Jones living with Sarah Hildebrand. They had a daughter, Mariah Jones who married DeLafeyette Huskey. Who were Sarah's other children by the first husband?
In 1834 and 1840 Jonathan and wife Sarah, are listed in the Jacob Wickerham estate papers. (V214) They, with the other heirs of Jacob, sold some of the land from the estate to D. Pitzer for $60 in 1840. (Bk E, p.412)

In 1835 they sell land in St. Louis County. In 1840 Jonathan (no wife's name) sells 400 arpents in Jeff. Co. to Claiborn Thomas for $237.13. (E361). In 1848, Jeff. Co. Jonathan sells an Original grant to T. H. Maddox for $30, no wife mentioned. (I190) In 1849 Jonathan and Sarah sell land in Jefferson Co. to T. H. Maddox: 340 acres, cemetery excepted) for $1,203, an original grant, conferred to John Hildebrand who conveyed it to Jonathan from a St. Louis Co. record. (I378)
Some of the above records without a wife's name may belong to his father, Jonathan. A study of the original records needs to be made

In 1834 Jonathan gave testimony for John Payett's land claim (see Polyanthos, 1976, p. 203) ". . . being duly sworn, says that he is in his fiftieth year; that, in 1801 or '02, he cannot say which of those years, he passed by said Payett's house, but did not see any white person; there he found an Indian, with whom he passed the night in said Payett's house, the said Indian being a friendly one, and not an Osage; that in 1805, he saw the said Payette living on said place; that he knows said Payett lived on the land claimed till his death . . . " This would place Jonathan's birthday at about 1784. Also, this land was located on Negro fork.

In 1850 Jonathan, age 67, was living with his daughter, Elizabeth and her family, the Rogers. (Entry #408) His wife, Sarah, age 58, was in another house (entry #397) not far away. She had two children with her, possibly grand-children: William Jones, age 9 and Jane Fife, age 8. (The entry for Jane is in error because the sex is given as male). These were from her previous marriage. We do not know the reason for the separation but perhaps Jonathan was ill and the daughter was caring for him.

Anna Hildebrand, born 1813 is the Barbara Anna, daughter of Benjamin of Madison Co.. She md Griffith Stegall approximately 1840/2. He was from Washington Co. They resided in Reynolds Co. by 1850. They have a family story that Sam's wife and daughters spent the night with Anna's daughter, Frances, when they were hiding out. They were of the opinion that the food they prepared was for Sam while he was in hiding. Frances and Sam would have been 2nd cousins according to Shirley Blanton, researcher for Anna. This would tie Benjamin to the John Hildebrand line. There is still some discussion about this connection. See the Benjamin Hildebrand record for her children: BEN

(4) Son HILDEBRAND/HELTERBRAND

The fourth child of Jonathan Hildebrand (b. 1783) was born 1815-20). There was a William W. born 1818 and was in Maries Co. in 1880. His children bear the names of this line.

The land records show a William and wife Elizabeth owning a considerable portion of land in Sections 27 and 34 of Twp 42, R3. They sold in three transactions in 1837 & 8. They sold to Henry Hildebrand, Jonathan Drennen, and James Owen, all relatives. Witnesses were Samuel Hildebrand, Samuel Graham, James Winn, and J. McCustion. (See Roots Researchers H-35 Jefferson County Deed Records).

Some of the above persons listed as children of Jonathan may belong to the Mr. Jones and Sarah from her previous marriage. She did have children but their names and ages are not researched. It would also seem likely that they would name one son for Jacob Wickerham as that was tradition.

It seems appropriate at this point to make a listing of some families who have not been placed in the family tree and may belong in Jonathan's branch. It must be remembered that there was an influx of Germans into the St. Louis area in the mid 1800s and some of them bore the Hildebrand name or some of the variations. With clerks writing the names as they heard them, it will be difficult to sort out these families.

In Reply to: Re: Marshall Jones & Sarah Hildebrand by Allan Huskey

I find DeLafayette Huskey in the 1850 census born 1825 and married to a Lucy b. 1826. Was his marriage to Mariah Jones a second marriage?

Sarah Wickerham, b. 1792 in Ohio was probably the sister to Aquilla Wickerham b. 1788 in PA Heir of Jacob Wickerham (probate bk V, p.
214)in Jefferson County, Missouri

Sarah was married first to a Mr. Jones, then married Jonathan Hildebrand 22 Mar 1829 as his second wife in Jefferson Co., MO.

Seeking the Jones children from her first marriage. Names and birthdates needed. She is listed in the 1840 census of Jefferson County, MO
with children but unable to ascertain which are Jones and which are Hildebrand children.

I found Marshall Jones estate papers yesterday at Hillsboro. Here is a little of it ;" Inventory of property belonging to the estate of Marshall
Jones,late of the county of Jefferson,deceased has been taken and disposed of by Sarah Jones(the Widow of said dec.),now Sarah
Hellibran,which has been accounted for by the said Sarah to the administration of the said deceased,to wit...lists of livestock...I hereby certify inventory is correct,John Willson,May 8,1832."
But Marshall died a few years before this. On Mar.6,1828 Joshua Herrington and William Wright were appointed to appraise the property of
Marshall Jones by John Willson,Adm.On Mar.16,1828 ,"Rec,d John Wilson $50.62 1/2 cents from property of my dec,s usband,(signed) Sarah Jones. On Mar.9,1829 "Sarah Jones"receives $150.00 from estate. This pretty well proves who the Jones was Sarah married.

17. SARAH⁶ DRENNEN (ANN⁵ HILDEBRAND, JOHN H.⁴, JACOB³, JACOB², PETER¹) was born Bef. 1807 in Jefferson Co., MO, and died September 14, 1884 in Jefferson Co, MO. She married (1) ISAAC HERRINGTON. He was born Abt. 1800, and died 1821. She married (2) JOSHUA HERRINGTON Abt. 1822, son of BARTHOLOMEW HERRINGTON and ELIZABETH. He was born May 27, 1800 in near Harrisonville, Monroe Co, IL.

Notes for SARAH DRENNEN:
Sarah Drennen married Isaac Herrington and they reared their family in Jefferson County. Her husband died about 1821 and their heirs are listed in File #241:

HERRINGTON, Elizabeth md 1) John Lefler 2) Isaac Benton
HERRINGTON, Margaret who md James Hannaway
HERRINGTON, John (the 1830 census of Jefferson Co., Meramec
Twp. has a John Herrington b. 1780s with 5 sons and two daughters)
HERRINGTON, Samuel
HERRINGTON, Sarah who md Austin Brown 19 Apr 1835
HERRINGTON, Jemima who md James L. Wideman by 1840.
HERRINGTON, Isaac II

The last three children were listed as minors at the time of their father's death in 1821.

Jane Drennen married Peter Sullens. It is likely that this Peter was born ca 1770-4 and was the son of John and Virginia Childress Sullens.

The testimony of Elizabeth McCourtney was that John had at one time gone down to Natchez where two of his daughters were married. If there were daughters other than Ann, we have not located any record of them. We wonder if her memory was wrong, that John had gone to Louisville, KY, where his daughter was married. Perhaps a descendant of this other daughter will contact us.
