I am attempting to find out which cemetery Hannah is buried in, and then eventually obtain a photograph of her tombstone. Any information would be appreciated. Tim L. Nelson of Crescent City, CA

Actually, I don't think this was Illinois - it was still part of "Indiana Territory." Did you possibly mean 1905? Or that she was BORN in 1805? Where did you get the information that she died in Tampico in that year? See below - is this your person? The following was found on line: Descendants of Thomas Reinhart who died in 1793z Contact: Ann Winters ID: I99 Name: Hannah RINEHART Surname: Rinehart Given Name: Hannah Sex: F Birth: 20 Aug 1805 in Pennsylvania Death: 6 Nov 1889 in Tampico, Whiteside, IL Burial: Tampico, Whiteside, IL _UID: 68780BA17700D6119957444553546170DB6C MARC: Abt. 1827, 1840, and 7 July 1851 MARC: Abt. 1827, 1840, and 7 July 1851 Emigration: 1850/1851 Illinois Emigration: 1850/1851 Illinois Note: She is buried in Tampico, IL.

Rinehart in his will leaves a one-eleventh share to "my daughter, Hannah Adams" His wife, Susannah (Strawn) names "my seven daughters" and then leaves $5 to Hannah Adams. From this it would seem that Hannah is the step daughter of Susannah Strawn Rinehart. Emigration: Hannah must have moved to Illinois between Nov. 1850 when she was on the Jefferson Twp, Greene Co, PA census and July 1851 when she (by that time the widow Hannah Love) married William Adams in Illiinois. In 1854 Joseph Rhinehart (son of Thomas) married Margaret Jane Adams( Daughter of Wm F.

"Harriet Craddock, born in Greene County, Pennsylvania, Sept. 6, 1841, daughter of George and Hannah Rhinehart Love, died August 12, 1938 in Chicago at the home of her daughter Olive at the age of 96 years, 11 months, and 6 days. Her father died when she was a small child. When she was 10 years old her mother was married again to William Adams, one of the very early settlers in Bureau County. (fall of 1840), who had returned to Pennsylvania for a visit to his boyhood home. The personal property of of Mrs. Craddock's mother was loaded on a flat boat at Pittsburgh, Pa., for the long trip to Illinois. They came down the Ohio to it's mouth, up the Mississippi to the mouth of the Illinois River thence up the latter stream to Peru or De Pie, where the goods were unloaded and taken overland to the home previously established by Mr. Adams at the east edge of Fairfield Township, not far from Green River. There Mrs. Craddock grew to womanhood with two brothers, William J. Love and Martin Love, three half brothers, Rhine Leonard, Jonah F. R. Leonard, and Frank Leonard, and the Adams children. One girl in the Adams family, Katie Adams became the wife of Nathan Meek, and the two girls grew up together as devotd to each other as if they had been flesh and blood sisters. The step-brothers, Samuel, Jacob, and Frank Adams. All of those have long ago passed to the Great Beyond. The latch string at the Adams home was out to the traveler who covered the trail from Rock River to Green River, and many there were who stopped overnight in the big log house with it's huge fireplace that stood a bit south of the house now owned by William Long of Sheffield, whose wife is an Adams, a descendant of this remarkaable family...... At the age of 20, the girl Harriet was married to William W. Craddock on June 18, 1861. He was a school teacher from Weedsport, NY....." Ruth Meek Hall tells me that Margaret Jane, oldest of the Adams children, married Joseph Rhinehart (son of Thomas Rhinehart). He fought in the Civil WAr. About 1880 the family moved to Webster Co., Iowa. Change Date: 17 Apr 2003 at 15:29:30 Father: John Thomas RINEHART b: 1 Oct 1782 in Prob. Greene Co. , PA Mother: Mary?

Administrator Denise 483 posts Dec 28, 2006 8:04 AM	Mr. Nelson has emailed me - Here is a portion of the email - perhaps of interest to others: The person I am primarily researching is Jonah Fritz Randolph Leonard, my great-great grandfather, born to John Leonard and Hannah Rinehart of Pennsylvania in 1832. He died in Washington Co. Iowa 1921. I had very little information on the Rinehart line at this time, so every little bit helps. I have more information on the Leonards if you or anyone is interested. Timothy Leonard Nelson Crescent City, CA Denise Family History Coordinator Tampico Area Historical Society
Anne Winters 2 posts Mar 30, 2009 12:20 PM	The school teacher William Craddock may be the Wm Craddock on the 1850 census in Brutus, Cayuga, New York, not too far from Weedsport. He was 13, so born abt. 1837, and is living with a family probably headed by Adams Dow, age 54. A Thomas Dow and his wife Nabby are buried in Weedsport Rural Cemetery. They are on the 1840 census in Brutus, Cayuga, NY. I've put a picture of their gravestone on the Winters Family Tree at ancestry.com.

Kimmel 4 posts Apr 01, 2009 4:29 PM	---------- Joyce A. Kimmel Husband (John) Descendant of: Hannah (Rhinehart)LEONORD, LOVE, CRADDOCK, William W. Craddock was my husbands (John Delos Kimmel) GGGrandfather. W.W. Craddock was born 23 Nov 1837 in Weedsport, Cayuga Co., NY. W.W. Craddock received his teaching certificate in 1856 @ Princeton, Bureau Co, IL. W.W. Craddock was a teacher @ Burden School (Bureau Co.) which is around Yorktown, IL. On June 18, 1861, Harriet Ann Love was married to William W. Craddock in the hotel at Morrison, IL. Mr. Craddock had hired a top buggy for the sum of $5 for two days. To this he had hitched his own horses, and after the marriage the wedding trip continued to Fulton and across on the ferry to Lyons, now Clinton, Iowa. Harriet Ann Love was the daughter of Hannah Rinehart (Rhinehart) and George Love. To the Craddock's six children were born. Two daughters died in childhood. The eldest son, Delos,(John Delos Kimmel's namesake) passed away in January, 1933, and a daughter, Mrs. Nellie Craddock Jacobs, of Tampico, succumbed on her mothers 92nd birthday. The other son, Glenn, lived in Morrison and the other daughter, Miss Olive Craddock, lived in Chicago. In visiting with Mrs. Harriet (Love) Craddock one hears many interesting incidents of the early days. Here are some of the things she says of her life in Pennsylvania: "There were no spools of thread. Mother bought short skeins of single white cotton thread. I boiled them in ashes and water to soften them, then doubled and twisted the thread and wound it on a reel. My half-brother, Jonah Leonard, helped me sometimes. He was better than the other boys about helping in the house. "We didn't eat potatoes in Greene county (PA) as much as we did after we came out here to the new country. Folks did not raise them so much out there. "My mother had a carpet woven of linen thread and wool, from the flax she raised and from my father's sheep. "A woman came to Waynesburg one time and preached, I remember very well that she wore a sun-bonnet. "My Grandfather Love's old home is now the Greene County Poor Farm." (In PA) And the following are some of her memories of early days in this new country: Recalls "New" Country "I never heard an oath until I was ten years old --- never knew people swore until I heard them doing so on the boat from Pittsburgh. "I remember when the Brubaker family came to live in New Bedford. They saw children holding to the tails of cattle they were driving home, and not knowing the name of the town, they called it "Tailholt" and so it was called for some years. "We used to cross Rock river to the mill at Como on a ferry which was pulled across by horses. One time we crossed from Como to Bureau county in the snow and the only living things we saw were two skunks. "My stepfather (MR. Adams)and our neighbors thought it was too far for their little children to go to New Bedford to school, so they built a log schoolhouse with a big fireplace in it, and my first teacher was John Meyers. "One time, we children arranged to go to the Sunday school in what was known as the Whittington schoolhouse. We walked about a mile to meet the family with whom we were to go, and then rode in a lumber wagon drawn by a team of big black oxen. We never went again. It was too much jolting in the hot sun! "A neighbor girl wanted to go out to work because her family was so poor. Her father protested that she would be talked about, but she said that if a girl conducted herself properly there was no reason why anything should be said against her. So she worked out for thirteen months and got along all right. "When I was 15 or 16 years old I used to ride horseback the five miles to New Bedford to get the mail. It cost 25 cents to send a letter here from Pennsylvania. "About that time my mother was ill. When she was able to sit up she cleaned and picked wool and I colored it blue. Then it was taken to Empire, now Emerson, to be carded in the mill there, after which it was spun into thread by some girls named Medley, and I wove it into cloth. My mother made a winter suit for my stepfather out of that cloth. "Stepfather Adams went west one time and when he returned he brought two buffaloes. One of them was stolen the first night after he got home, but the other one roamed with the cattle. Young men often brought their lady friends to see the tame buffalo. It made a place to go! The buffalo would not jump fences. He just went right through them, and finally my stepfather traded him to a wagon maker for a wagon. Moved To Tampico "After I was married and went to live on the Craddock farm near Tampico, a man named Dir came from Bureau county and bought a neighboring farm. There was no preacher in that community and whenever there was need for one, old Mr. Dir was always called. He and Mrs. Dir had thirteen children, and Mrs. Dir helped neighbors in case of sickness. "I remember when my oldest boy, Delos, was a baby, Mr. Craddock and I went to a political rally at Walnut Grove. A man shouted 'Hurrah' for the candidate of the other party, and somebody brought out a rope to hang the man who shouted! "The first time my son, Glenn, ever voted, he cast his vote for my half-brother, J. F. R. Leonard, who ran for president of the United States on the ticket of the United Christian Party."

I would love to talk to you about the DOW line (my grandmother's maiden name) as well as the RHINEHART/RINEHART, LEONARD, LOVE and CRADDOCK lines! I travel a lot with my job so I am not sure where I will be during those 10 days. The best thing would be for you to get my email address by sending an email to Denise and she can send it to you and we can compare dates. Thanks, Les
