Sources & Information:
Name clarification’s are always helpful. The name of Mary A. Himes has also been shown and recorded in records, as Mary A. Hines, Mary A. Homes and Mary A. Hynes in 9 different entries. The developed information available throws considerable weight, on the correct name as Mary A. Himes. All other variations have come about through misinformation furnished or incorrectly recorded by State, County, Township or City officials responsible for record keeping, along with newspapers and family recordings in letters and personal records. In an autograph book originally belonging to Amelia A. Beckwith wife of Christopher John Ellsworth and known to be in the possession of Shirley Jean Bates is found the following:
L. W. Himes Detroit December 24, 1881.
C. A. Himes Detroit December 30, 1881.
Lizzie Himes Detroit December 30, 1881.
Mrs. L. C. Himes Detroit December 30, 1881.
Our original information gave Detroit as a former residence or home for Mary A. Himes prior to her marriage to Emanuel Ellsowrth.
