Cynthia's Connection to Jacob Hooton (by Ron K Taylor , <ronktaylor@southbell.net>): My grandfather, Paul Alfonte Taylor, was a family historian, and kept a journal, all typed out on notebook paper, of the family genealogy. That book whetted my interest in continuing the ancestry, after he died in 1945. There I found a note that Cynthia Hooton was a cousin of Jacob Hooton (1830-1899), my 1st cousin, 5 times removed, who married my 3rd great aunt, Emily Jane Taylor. That Jacob was the grandson of Thomas Hooton, mentioned above. So, if he and Cynthia were cousins (presumably first), who could have been her father? It would have had to be one of Thomas' sons, right? (First cousins are sons/daughters of your parents' brothers/sisters) So, I went to work studying those male sons of Thomas and Susannah Green. Thomas had another wife, Orender Bush, a later marriage, but their children were mostly too young to have had Cynthia. Most all of Thomas and Susanna's grandchildren were identified, so most were eliminated in the process. Some had relocated to other states, eliminating them. To make a long story short, Cyntha's father had to have been Jacob Hooton (1795-1879), and he had at least two unnamed children. Jacob left Kentucky at least by 1819, was in Dearborn County, Indiana in the 1820 census, and then to Rush County, Indiana, as you know. The 1850 census cinched it for me, as Cyntha "Slain" and her children are living with Jacob and Martha Hooton, in Rush County. And why?? Well, William Harrison Slane had left her and their children. Where else for them to go?.... to Momma and Daddy's home, of course!! (except that Martha was Jacob's 2nd wife, and not Cyntha's mother; her mother, Martha(?), died in 1839) 15:59, 30 October 2011 (EDT)15:59, 30 October 2011 (EDT)15:59, 30 October 2011 (EDT)15:59, 30 October 2011 (EDT)~~
