Hi Larry,
ReplyDelete"It is not known why on the 1880 census the wife of John Shively, Jr. is listed as Hannah and the mother-in-law is listed as Sarah Smith"
Hellen Remy's parents are Elias Remy and Sarah Gardner. Elias and Sarah are my 2nd great grandparents. After Elias died in 1849, Sarah remarried in 1855 in Vinton County to Joseph Smith. That is why the 1880 census lists Sarah Smith as John Shively's mother-in-law. Sarah's second husband Joseph Smith died in 1871, which explains why Sarah was living with her daughter and son-in-law in 1880. The person you list as Hellen's father, John Remy is the half-brother of Elias. John and Milberry did have a daughter Ellen, who lived 1846-1909. Ellen married Rufus Ramey in Vinton County in 1872.
