Notes from a posting by Alex Thompson: "The middle son, Hugh A. TINNIN, remained in Stoddard Co. and Hugh A. "TENAN" and wife Elizabeth Caroline MABERY, with the first three of five children: Elizabeth, Benjamin and Missouri, were listed in the 1860 Census of Pikes Twp. Stoddard Co. MO (immediately south of Cape Girardeau Co.). Hugh was born about 1829 and died about 1867 in Stoddard Co. His wife Elizabeth Caroline MABERY was born Oct. 1835 in AL and died after 1900 in TX. After Hugh's death, his widow Caroline married Joseph STAGGS. This is known from estate records, uncovered by Joyce Brown, of Caroline's father Joshua MABERY, who died intestate in Stoddard Co. His estate was administered by his son Jesse B. MABERY, with a share going to Caroline STAGGS, wife of Joseph STAGGS. In the 1870 Census, Caroline STAGGS was already a widow, with her son Benny and two daughters, Parthena and Hannah TINNIN, who were born after the 1860 Census; and a two year old daughter Victoria STAGGS, who apparently died before the 1880 Census. Hood Co. TX records show a Feb 1, 1877 marriage between Benjamin TINNEN and Mary F. BRINLEE, which is apparently applicable to this son of Hugh A. and Caroline. Research by Margaret McClesky has shown that Margaret Parthena TINNIN married, first, Martin L. INGLEY (2 children) and then Jacob C. HINKLE (7 children). Hannah apparently married, but her husband hasn't been identified. The widow Elizabeth Caroline MABERY TINNIN STAGGS married (25 Dec 1799 in Hood Co. TX) a widower Benjamin SPARKS, who died before 1900; they had no children. Their marriage record gives her name as Caroline TINNEN, a good indication that daughter Victoria STAGGS had already died. In the 1900 Census, widow Caroline SPARKS was living with her daughter Parthena M. HINKLE and her husband Jacob C in Dallas Co. TX. Caroline reported she had 6 children, 3 of whom were still living."
