(PROFILE MANAGER COMMENT)

My findings from this most recent research/inquiry and survey of Profile materials for ANNA HALLOCK revealed some curious outcomes, and seriously conflicting conclusions. As an “Example” of both Sourced, historically sound–and–referenced but unsubstantiated information, as well as details Not-Elsewhere-Found, I reference the Rootsweb WorldConnect Project Profile(s) for: William B. Hallock and Anna ‘Stephenson’ Hallock details below. The Profile for William B. Hallock contains relevant and important information per to Anna Hallock.

For easiest sequential integrity, and best clarity of subject material, this Overview reviews Anna’s information according to three time-periods:

PRE-1850 REGARDING:

• FAMILY OF ORIGIN
• RESIDENCE
• CONTROVERSY ABOUT MAIDEN NAME found in conflicting Profile accounts
• HISTORICAL RECORD EVIDENCE: Earliest Examples and implications
• IMPORTANCE attributed to PERCY LAWRENCE ELLIS HALLOCK as Historical Record Source Claim of Historical Priority

1850 – 1880 REGARDING:

• U.S. FEDERAL CENSUS COLLECTION for (WISCONSIN) 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880 (SOURCES) AS:
• Only Historical Record for Vital Information on Anna with any certainty of accuracy
• Only Historical Record of Residence
• Only Source for Historical Information regarding Family Of Origin
• Use of Supplemental Sources for: Biographical, In Memoriam, and Obituary printed and published materials regarding relevant Family Members and for Mentions of Anna

PRE-1850 Historical Record Evidence for Anna

In spite of unsubstantiated, un-supported “claims” alleging knowledge per to Anna’s Family of Origin, the fact is: there are no record identifications for ANNA HALLOCK prior to the 1850 U.S. FEDERAL CENSUS for Wisconsin. And the only reliable, worthy but inapplicable information regarding Anna’s parents, comes from her response recorded on the 1880 U.S. FEDERAL CENSUS (Wisconsin) providing a ‘birthplace’ for both her parents as: CONNECTICUT. Of Pertinence: NO OTHER INFORMATION OF MERIT is known regarding her Family, or their Origins.

Although Anna’s birthplace is consistently recorded as: NEW YORK STATE 1806/7 (Sources: Census’ 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880) No Relevant Record Matches are found among published record collections for New York State during 1806-1807. The premise itself, being complicated considerably in light of the historical controversy regarding, a correct maiden name and absence of other known family of origin information.

REGARDING THE ABSENCE OF HISTORICAL RECORD:

Because Province of Ontario Vital Records (prior to 1856) and Canada Census Collections (prior to 1850) were not standardized nor expected, no records for Anna or any of the Canadian-born Hallock children are found. Further, said records can be presumed 'Absent' or 'Not Collected'. Only two historical record identifications for William B. Hallock are certain – both are of historical merit, and neither are from Ontario Provincial or Canada Federal Collections. For detailed historical explanation please refer to:

• THE HISTORICAL CANADIAN CENSUS’ http://www.ancestry.ca/Census and:
• PROVINCE OF ONTARIO CENSUS – SEARCHABLE ONLINE DATA ONTARIO https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&i... and:
• THE HISTORY OF CANADA:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Canada
• ONTARIO VITAL STATISTICS AND CHURCH RECORDS, MARRIAGES http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/can/ont/ont_vsmarr.shtml
• CENSUS: LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES CANADA: http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/pages/census.aspx

The two record identifications for William B. Hallock are also relevant for Anna Hallock because by date the earliest record coincides with the most popular among Unsubstantiated claims for a date and place of their marriage. And the second (later) identifying record because it places William to a specific 'location' only four years before the family migrates to Hartford, Wisconsin in 1846, which is corroborated by Hallock children vital records and (The Biography and Memorial for: Catherine Borden (Hallock) (Her Profile Overview and Sources) from which residence/location (Anna) can be inferred for both dates and locations referenced.

1. The Early Days of Owen Sound (From the Owen Sound Sun) By: A.M. Stephens Published 1892 Page 13 Recounting Stephens ‘Arrival at St. Vincent, Grey County, Ontario Canada 1842 https://archive.org/stream/cihm_13892#page/1/mod

“The township at that time contained about seventy-five families scattered over its surface. The following is a list of those names I remember, some of whom I met the following day and others I became acquainted with subsequently:...

....William Hallock, Benjamin Hallock..."

From this one meager piece of historical information, we can place William Hallock (corroborated by family memories, reminiscence and the Hallock children vital record details), Anna and the children between 1827 and 1840, in Meaford and St. Vincent. But we have only inferred reasoning as merit - derived from the grown Hallock children vital records for "Place of Birth" as secondary source evidence for a fixed geographical location Birth, Marriage, Death. (See: individual children’s Profile's Sources and Overviews)

And:

2. The Ontario Historical Society: Papers and Records: Vol 5 Published in Toronto 1904: Pages 187-236 The Marriage Register of Rev. William Smart 1812-1837:http://my.tbaytel.net/bmartin/wsmart.htm

Recorded as “Banns Wit.” (formal witness) for two different marriages Rev. Smart performed on August 30,1825 in Elizabethtown, Leeds County, Ontario Canada identifying William Hallock. Rev. Smart's Register also provides record identifications for three of William's brothers (Benjamin, Caleb, Lorenzo) also Banns Wit. for other weddings on various dates.

Rev. William Smart, https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=16&ca... Presbyterian Minister a contemporary, noted peer and friend of Reverend William A. Hallock (William B. Hallock's) father. (COMMENT MINE: It is unremarkable that the Hallock children are noted in Marriage Record Collections of Rev. Smart, fulfilling the requirement for legitimate acknowledgment of a marriage by both Church and Crown. What we're viewing here (I'm convinced) is an instance of one Clergyman's grown son's helping out their family friend, and also, Clergyman. The recorded presence of Banns Wit., was a formal requirement - and if the couple could not/did not provide one....often the Church would have to. It makes perfect sense that Rev. Smart would call upon the Hallock son’s to witness his weddings (in need of a Banns Wit.).

Both the 1825 and 1842 record identifications for William are relevant to Anna, yet neither record indicates information per to William’s Household or status of Marriage.

Regarding historically un-supported claims re: dates and location of marriage: (See Example Profile below)

The historical evidence contradicts a basis for (Unsubstantiated) claim(s) of marriage as taking place in: Meaford, Grey County, Ontario because the relevant material alleging Meaford (471 miles from Elizabethtown!) See: (RAND MCNALLY DISTANCE CALCULATOR :http://maps.randmcnally.com/mileage_calculator to prove distance) is also self-incriminating...so rendering the material suspicious overall, inviting further scrutiny on basis of two issues:

1. It mistakenly asserts that the Hallock Household was resident in Meaford in 1825 or 1826. That 'Claim' is not historically possible. The Rev. William A Hallock was Installed at the Wall Street United Church [of Canada] as Clergy shortly after Immigration to Ontario in 1800 (Profile Overview, Sources) and there remained (Kittley/Elizabethtown) until his recorded death in 1836. Asking us to consider that an Installed Clergyman and Household to be living 471 miles from his Congregation is beyond reasonable! And because it is so specific to detail, we have no ‘premise’ for other allowance.

Now, as a claim it offers an attempt at brokering a familial tie between the Hallock and Stephenson households which (not so surprisingly) also insinuates historical evidence for Anna's (Family of Origin) but it also is completely invalidated as historical evidence because it is self-contradicting. Even if modeled upon a historical source it is useless...because it specifies the incorrect relational context between: date, place, and subject relevance. It also is problematic in that:

2. It presumes William's 1825 record identification in Elizabethtown (Rev. Smart Register) would be incidental and merely circumstantial pertaining to date and location…(or that in effect), he would have been only 'visiting' home on August 30 1825 returning the 471 miles to Meaford, Ontario for his marriage sometime later that same year, or that said marriage occurred prior to August 30th. Either way, it is a lot to assume without source validity and considering the base conflict.

To me, it would make much more sense realistically (if even relevant to ponder) that the location of marriage would have been Elizabethtown, William’s hometown and known location as of 1825 (consistent with noted ‘dates’ of unsubstantiated claims for marriage in Meaford).

It is completely plausible (as the concept is defined) to entertain that a relationship existed between the Hallock Household and the Family Household Anna came from.....but it most certainly did not take place in Meaford! It would had to have been Elizabethtown, Kittley, or adjacent locale (if that is) a historicity and authenticity of underlying source existed for what now is a fundamentally flawed assertion (stating) the households of the Hallock’s and Stephenson’s was in Meaford, not Elizabethtown (See Example Profile cited).

I think a fair and needed question must be: which would make more sense... Meaford or Elizabethtown? So long as, we acknowledge a concluding opinion either way to be conjecture subsequent presently absent historical validation – and as long as it excludes from consideration, a relevance between the vital record information of birth for the Hallock children, beginning with the 1827 birth of: James De Groat Hallock in Meaford and St. Vincent. Just because James and the other children were born there certainly does not preclude William and Anna’s marriage occurred there! And we have absolutely nothing to historically associate Anna to anywhere in Ontario prior to February of 1827! And their (William and Anna's) relative ages in context opens an additional vista of potential for dates even earlier than 1825! In truth, they could have met anywhere…but it seems reasonable to propose Elizabethtown the most likely bet, if bet we must.

Because the grown Hallock children (of William and Anna) produce fairly reliable US Vital Record information (Marriage, Birth of Children, Marriage of Children, and Death) we can infer with some credible certainty that:

• That at least six Hallock children were born in or near to: MEAFORD and ST. VINCENT, GREY COUNTY, ONTARIO, CANADA beginning with the first birth of: February 1827 James De Groat Hallock and reasonable last birth of 1840: William J. Hallock
• That THE HALLOCK FAMILY departed from Ontario by no later than 1846 based in part to referenced residence of Hartford, Wisconsin 1846 according to details from: THE BIOGRAPHY OF CATHERINE A. BORDEN (HALLOCK) http://www.wiclarkcountyhistory.org/0data/3/3920.htm Additionally, 1846 circumstantially makes some sense because it is also the year that eldest son, James married Sarah Ann Elizabeth Markle (his Profile: Sources). Only James (and possibly sister Louisa MalloryHallock) remained in Canada, and did not immigrate with the Family in 1846. Both being adult and married. Louisa and husband migrating to Wisconsin first, and then James and his family several years later.

But in terms of historical record evidence for residence and location of Anna Hallock PRIOR TO 1850; this is as close as we can come.

However, beginning with THE 1850 UNITED STATES FEDERAL CENSUS for: WISCONSIN and the subsequent Census Collections of 1860, 1870, and 1880 (Wisconsin and respective Counties) we have a span of thirty years of historical record exhibiting coherent vital detail, consistently cited historical information, and high degree for confidence for same source-informant person as: ANNA HALLOCK for each enumeration.

Using the 1880 Census as measure of 'Control' based upon the fact in 1880: Anna was the sole Household Head and Self-reporter (Subsequent the 1875 death of William) each earlier Census record was evaluated in terms of historical consistency and agreement. The data is historically consistent in each category interviewed. (Sources: Census)

______________________________________________________________

• PERTAINING TO CONTRADICTORY CLAIMS For historicity of: MAIDEN NAME(s) FOR ANNA HALLOCK

As already mentioned, the absence of credible historical information regarding Family of Origin for Anna, itself seriously challenges any assertions for a maiden name – particularly complicated here – because veracity of claim alleging source credibility (as the original name) is not supported by historical record evidence; producing a resulting conflict of noteworthy importance. Because of the relevance of the Example Profile in this matter, I will be referring to specific details it provides. Of first note is: The primary conflict of name(s) between:

• STEPHENSON versus STEVENSON

William B. Hallock of Iron Ridge, Dodge Co. WI his wife was Anna_________ (1808-1883) These Hallocks lived for a time at Meaford, Ont. Canada where they married and five children were born.

And what was the maiden name of Anna?

• Reply in same magazine.

“My request for data about Mr. and Mrs. Wm. B. Hallock of Iron Ridge, WI and Loyal WI. has brought me conflicting statements about the maiden name of Anna, the wife.

• Mrs. Marian Cooke of Loyal says that Mrs. Hallock was Anna Near;
• Mr. Ben S. Hallock of chili, WI., believes that her name was Anna De Groot and the death certificate of one of her daughters gives the mother’s name as Anna Stephenson
• Both Mrs. Cooke and Mr. Hallock are grandchildren of Anna and the above mentioned death record was made out by another grandchild.
• Which name is correct? Is it probable that Mrs. Anna Hallock had been married before and that one or two of the suggested names were of other husbands?
• February 1994 – “Anna’s maiden name was Stephenson" . The Stephenson’s lived near the Hallock’s in Meaford. William’s father was Rev. William Hallock who married Catherine De Groat
• Census records give birthplace for both parents as New York. Another son shows Connecticut. He (William) was a blacksmith and apparently moved from Meaford to Iron Ridge, Dodge County, WI where they were mining and smelting Hematite, producing 5 tons of pig iron a day which sold for $26.00 a ton in 1849.
• Meaford is probably not correct as the area was not settled until circa 1830.
• He was one of the organizers of Loyal Township, in 1865
• F. Cook: daughter

Additional HALLOCK FAMILY Members Biographical, Birth, Marriage, Obituary and other vital record transcripts and references supporting STEVENSON as her maiden name found at: CLARK COUNTY, WI. HOME PAGE: (HALLOCK) http://wvls.lib.wi.us/ClarkCounty/

Any serious claim for any name other than STEVENSON would need to account for the multiple publications for different family members, all citing this name and not STEPHENSON. Personally, I find it inconceivable, that Anna’s children and grandchildren with knowledge of her maiden name would allow for historical inaccuracies to accrue over a period of some 32 years and upon public record and citation without correction. Obviously, someone would have caught and corrected such a mistake – if one had existed.

This already complicated and marred subject matter is further compounded by details provided in the cited Example Profile, pertaining to the recollection of a maiden name for Anna, from two grandchildren worthy of consideration.

HALLOCK replied and provided their recall on the issue. What for me qualifies these two grandchildren with merit, was the historical context between their households, and that of William and Anna. The Borden Household being especially relevant considering proximity of neighbors, and mentions in other biographical/local historical materials alluding to the closeness between the households.

With respect that ancestor information is frequently lost at the ‘second generation’ level of remembrance, still if any Family memories were worthy of consideration, it would be these two. And do either support Stephenson, or Stevenson? NO! To the contrary… they offer two additional names to the mix! And as the comment from the editor of the WISCONSIN FAMILIES 1941 edition makes perfectly clear:

“My request for data about Mr. and Mrs. Wm. B. Hallock of Iron Ridge, WI and Loyal WI. has brought me conflicting statements about the maiden name of Anna, the wife”.

• REGARDING THE PROPOSED MAIDEN NAME: NEAR

This name to my knowledge, is nowhere else mentioned in relation to Anna. Whatever the basis or circumstance for Marion Cook’s memory, it is not attested to on other record sources or material references.

• REGARDING THE PROPOSED MAIDEN NAME: DEGROAT or DEGROOT

As for Benjamin S. Hallock’s proposal of: DeGroot / DeGroat I believe it clearly a matter of mistaken ‘grandmothers’. The maiden name of Anna’s mother-in-law (William’s mother) was DeGroat See: Catherine Hallock

• REGARDING THE POSSIBILITY ANNA WAS PREVIOUSLY MARRIED (prior to William) AS SOURCE FOR THE CONFUSION AND MULTIPLE NAMES:

Ultimately, taking into account her age at the approximate date of marriage to William Hallock, it could be plausible. HOWEVER, it still would not negate the primacy of STEVENSON as it occurs in the early, printed, published, source material as her correct Maiden Name.

So, as late as 1941, and arising from two sources of considerable mention…the issue of ANNA HALLOCK’s maiden name was still being debated and with no forecast of clarity on the horizon! There is also reference to another grandchild’s provision for Stephenson related to the death record for an unidentified daughter of Anna. But as is, this information is far too vague and without historical, contextual relevance for consideration.

• REGARDING THE 1994 REFERENCE PERTAINING TO MAIDEN NAME STEPHENSON and HISTORICAL MENTION PER TO FAMILY OF ORIGIN IN CONTEXT OF RESIDENCE IN MEAFORD, ONTARIO

As previously commented on, this reference is unusable because it contradicts historical known details precluding a plausible Hallock Household residence in Meaford, Grey County, Ontario (at any point in time, related to the Household of Rev. William A. Hallock from 1800 until 1836).

• REGARDING CITATION CLAIM OF SOURCE HISTORICITY FROM: FAMILYSEARCH PROFILE MATERIAL according to: PERCY LAWRENCE ELLIS HALLOCK as historical source for: maiden name: Stephenson and location of death: York Twp., Clark County, Wisconsin
• FAMILYSEARCH FAMILY TREE PROFILE OF: ANNA STEPHENSON (HALLOCK) https://familysearch.org/tree/#view=ancestor&section=details&person...

To my knowledge, unique to the FAMILYSEARCH SITE PUBLIC MEMBER FAMILY TREE PROFILE SOURCE DESIGNATION as HISTORICAL in merit; is provision for ancestor-specific profile ‘source’ claims that allow as ‘SOURCE’ citable; the “Memory” of a family member (relative of) the ancestor (and accordingly, given subject matter).

In this case, it pertains to transmission of “Memory” regarding Anna’s maiden name, and location of death; as recalled by her great-grandson, Leroy ‘Percy’ Hallock

Obviously, conflicted historical accounts owe to some source. The question becomes: Can the source(s) for conflicting history be recovered? In Anna's case, I believe it can.

• PERTAINING TO: FAMILYSEARCH PUBLIC MEMBER FAMILY TREE PROFILE OF: Percy Lawrence Ellis Hallock KPW4-7TN 12 September 1896 – 13 July 1990: https://familysearch.org/tree/#view=ancestor&section=details&person...

Normally, my attitude toward toward 'Familial' sources for historical basis' is very favorable, within reason. And my issue here, is not with 'Percy' himself per se, but does bring to question two aspects of historical concern:

• 1. Percy was not born until 13 years after Anna's death, and:
• 2. Percy's father was: Benjamin S. 'Benny' Hallock: one and the same respondent to the 1941 WISCONSIN FAMILIES query per to Anna's maiden name (Recall: he proposed DeGroat as her name) which was incorrect. So,...if Benjamin (her grandson who had a relational, historically contextual basis for an expectation of accurate recall) but was still unable to name Anna correctly, then how is it that his son (who never knew Anna, and without relational context), so many years later was able to do so accurately? Lastly, bias cannot be ruled out. Norman Stevenson Hallock, was Percy's paternal grandfather and that may have colored his memory, unconsciously.

First of all, it is entirely plausible, that Percy's memory was based upon "partial" historical premise. One that may have recalled a period in which, Anna may have lived with son NORMAN STEVENSON HALLOCK in York, Clark County, WI. Additionally, perhaps owing somewhat to knowledge of the: DRAPER AFFIDAVIT, Percy's memory that Anna lived with his grandfather finds validation. Even as I will repeat in my concluding opinion; regardless of my purview, Anna would still be 'unaccounted' for in terms of residence after the 1880 Census; and until sometime in 1881, as deduced from the dating's of Anna's 1883 Obituary. A provisional, temporary residence in York with Norman, may well have occurred, and was basis for Percy's recall. I'm not going to quibble over Percy's Memory in any degree. But I do find myself obligated to offer some reasoned explanation for his recall as a source for conflicting historical account data. In this manner, that allowance can be permitted without need for further qualification.

Lastly, even though I had benefit of discovery for the transcript of Anna's 1883 Obituary as an important Source in my decision making process; many of the CLARK COUNTY, WISCONSIN HISTORICAL records COLLECTIONS did not become "published" and therefore, publicly available for Online Research until as late as: 2010. It is entirely possible, that many of the earlier Profile accounts did not have benefit of transcribed source records. In such event, absence of the 1883 Obituary would be significant in a Researcher's assessment of available information on the subject.

Reduced to it's most basic and elemental context (without benefit of the Obituary): which account on the surface would appear more reasonable....that Anna died in the same County she'd lived in for so many years (and Household residence of son Norman) or, that she died some 400 miles distance from Clark County, Wisconsin, in Bath Twp., Brown County, South Dakota (even with considering Household residence of another son: William J.?) A reasonable conclusion, based solely upon geography, would be: Clark County, WI.

Important as well to my opinion regarding maiden name: it would be plausible for FAMILIAL ambivalence in terms of spelling (i.e, STEVENSON OR STEPHENSON), if perhaps Anna's Family's Origin did not speak English as its native language. In such event, the name could have been derived from any number of non-anglo Northern European, or even Eastern European Family Groups with the same name Etymology. Phonetically it would sound 'similar' but spellings in English could have experienced variation and evolution (See: STEVENSON https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevenson ).

CONCLUDING OPINION REGARDING THE MAIDEN NAME OF ANNA HALLOCK

If termed Historical in Claim, the more correct and evidence-oriented name would be: STEVENSON. The multiple examples cited in print, could only successfully be argued against, if it would be equally permissible to assume either:

• No one noticed the oversight for 32 years of printed, published citations or:
• No one considered it of merit to acknowledge as worthy correction of their mother's maiden name spelling, and therefore no correction was ever voiced. And their Familial affiliation and identity were not rooted in some degree, to how that surname was being spelled. In other words: STEVENSON, STEPHENSON...meh, Whatever.

I vote: STEVENSON. _______________________________________________________________________________

• PERTAINING TO: THE MATTER OF CONFLICTING PROFILE ACCOUNTS FOR ANNA'S LOCATION OF DEATH: and the matter of the alleged: JUNE 5 1933 AFFIDAVIT FILED BY F.W. DRAPER

(PROFILE MANAGER COMMENT):

With respect to 'space' already allotted for foregoing subject materials; and with regard to my perceived importance of this Profile Subject matter some abbreviation for specific source information has been rendered (always so noted) jlphawn

Fact: The only known (and evident) source citation for the alleged: Affidavit 202955 Filed June 5 1933 by F.W. Draper occurs with the above cited Example Profile; but undoubtedly, has been influential as source for some Profile Material developments in terms of decision regarding conflicting accounts for: The Location of Anna Hallock, on September 25 1883

A Google-Search for: F.W. Draper and date of 1933 and a location of Clark County Wisconsin produced copious record materials and sources with certainty of correct identity. To remain dedicated to my above statement, I refer any curiosity to: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&i.... for full inventory of available website and historical information on: FREDERIC WILLIAM DRAPER

For purposes here, it is sufficient to remark upon Mr. Draper's well attested to, much respected life-long affiliation with public office including ten years as: Clerk of Court, Clark County, Wisconsin. As such, familiarity with Affidavit process and procedure as preferred forum for dispute resolution and as legitimate complaint would have been assumed as result of his elected term as County Court Clerk. That stated, I was still unable to verify document historicity with provided details - with various search parameters and at both STATE and COUNTY levels of relevant Circuit Court, and associated government offices.

My assumption is that either: The precise Collection containing the Complaint was not searched or: The document is not part of WISCONSIN PUBLIC RECORDS or: The Information as provided is not precise nor accurate therefore producing no results.

Another consideration would be: The Affidavit as identified was withdrawn prior to being Heard: which would leave no evidence solely based upon FILING date and COMPLAINT number. There would be no redundant record identification for it. Whatever the circumstance, I was unable to locate it.

I do accept however, that something was FILED upon said date, and accordingly: said Subject. The exact identification of Fred Draper is too remarkable for consideration otherwise. How and Why Draper would have become involved with respect to Where a woman unrelated to him, died some Fifty-years prior is simply unknowable at this point. It is interesting to me however, that at 50 years later: neither Anna's Children nor likely Witness Source for events on September 25 1883 yet survived.

At its' bare-bones, the subject is: A Contested Claim for where Anna died: as either the Household of son, NORMAN STEVENSON HALLOCK, or the Household of son, WILLIAM J. HALLOCK.

As noted precisely relevant earlier, availability of transcript Record Source Material for Online Ancestry/Genealogy Research pertaining to the OCTOBER 9 1883 PUBLICATION OF THE NEILLSVILLE TIMES OBITUARY REGARDING the DETAILS OF: ANNA HALLOCK'S SEPTEMBER 25TH DEATH cannot be overstated in terms of importance for any informed findings and concluding opinion. Exactly the same as regarding Researcher Profile Outcome per to Maiden Name; the Obituary record may not have been available as published publicly available material of CLARK COUNTY, WISCONSIN HISTORY for earlier Profile materials and equally of consequence in terms of "Findings" .

With respect to the alleged: Claim of the 1933 Affidavit: compared to details of: The Obituary of Anna Hallock the two accounts are in Diametric Opposition and are not reconcilable whatsoever! Anna may well have resided alternately within both sons Households; but she most certainly only died in ONE! It is one or the other, but no permissible allowance for consideration of either/or.

My Findings concerning Independent Record Source Evidence (PRO or CON) regarding premise of the 1933 Affidavit Claim supporting the Household of NORMAN STEVENSON HALLOCK, and Location of York Township, Clark County, Wisconsin (excluding from consideration) any claim for Historical merit - as one corroborated by Claim and Source citation of PERCY ‘LEROY’ HALLOCK (for the reasons already discussed) for a Location of Death consistent with the 1933 Affidavit; there are in my opinion no relevant historical record source references nor significant examples for circumstantial evidence supporting Location of death as: York Township, Clark County, Wisconsin and in the Household of son NORMAN S. HALLOCK apart from the Affidavit Claim as alleged, and aside corroboration by consideration for Source Claim attributed to: PERCY LAWRENCE ELLIS HALLOCK.

And regarding the same as proposed above but instead pertaining to the premise of the October 9 1883 published and printed details concerning the September 25 1883 death of Anna Hallock the following source and reference materials were considered by me of particular relevance both as direct support and as circumstantially significant

Circumstantially, it could be of significance fixing a location and residence for WILLIAM J. HALLOCK at: Bath Township, Brown County, South Dakota during a relevant time-span, or at the same time period consistent with Anna's September 25 1883 death.

I found two independent relevant mentions for William in connection with Bath Township, Brown County, South Dakota:

BATH TOWNSHIP by Charles Creed and W. H. Wenz [P73]

"Dr. A. Grant was in Rondell in 1880 but did not settle in Bath until the following year. John Helmka arrived in Columbia in the spring of 1880 and in August he filed his homestead in the township. His family arrived the next spring with Miss Ida Ellsworth. John and James Regan were here in 1880 and drove on to Bismarck, returned the next month and located. James spent the following winter at his old home in Iowa. John started to walk to Watertown February 19, 1881, and was found dead on the river just a month later, a half-mile below Rondell. This was the first death to occur among Bath Settlers. The first death in the township was that of Morris M. Jones, who died suddenly in the summer of 1882 while at work on the house of WILLIAM J. HALLOCK." ______________________________________________________________

These sources provide corroborative and independent source, and circumstantial evidence placing WILLIAM J. HALLOCK to the geographic location and record of residence consistent with the details from the OBITUARY of October 9 1883. Further, the "finer-details" of when his house was being built, or the birth of daughter Alfretta in South Dakota additionally concur.

Finally, an additional context of relevance for the location of Bath, Brown County, South Dakota gains substantial merit from previously cited BIOGRAPHICAL and MEMORIAL/OBITUARY materials for Borden Family Members as they also place other children of EBENEZER and CATHERINE BORDEN HALLOCK in BROWN COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA. So, WILLIAM J. and Household including ANNA were not there alone. They were part of a larger extended-family migration and relocation from Wisconsin to South Dakota.

For me, this cumulative and specifically detailed information is compelling warrant for a concluding opinion in favor of: LOCATION OF DEATH on SEPTEMBER 25 1883 as BATH, BROWN COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA.

This conclusion does not provide either explanation for or premise to the F.W. DRAPER AFFIDAVIT or controversy regarding an allegation that by definition: pits the descendants of NORMAN STEVENSON HALLOCK against those of WILLIAM J. HALLOCK as who would be entitled rightful regard. But my perspective is: in terms of implication and consequence directly for the Memory of ANNA HALLOCK, the allegation itself has nothing whatsoever to do with ANNA HALLOCK herself. Whatever the basis, circumstance, or reality of the matter historically, it is of secondary significance overall. The weight of evidence is I believe clear and consistent: THE OBITUARY contains evidence for historicity of claim and certainty of details
