NOTE: Hulbert married Mary in 1838 in Jackson County, Indiana. By1840, they were living in Parke County, Indiana. Halbert/Holbert isnot found in the 1840 Jackson County census. When he marries NancyBarnes in 1847, he was listed - known as Halbert L. Hamilton. (It'seasy to mistake an "o" for an "a", plus a fancy "L" and an "S", whentranscribing depending on the handwriting of the original person whowrote the name.)
