| Shared note | S.R. Durand: "[In 1960] I took time to look up in the Ohio State Records office the United States Census data of 1850 for Ohio. In these records for district 195 of Benton Township, Hocking County made September 24, 1850, the James Schooley family is listed under dwelling No. 159 and Family No. 161. James Schooley is listed as age 27 and his wife, Elizabeth, as age 25, both having been born in Ohio. Their children in 1850 were John aged 6, Joseph aged 5, William aged 4, Hannah aged 3, Mary aged 1, and Jane Smith aged 11 months. James Schooley is listed as a farmer with a real estate value of $800. I do not know why James Schooley's wife's name is recorded as Elizabeth when she was known to her descendants as Celeste. However, the children's names are the same as those remembered by Ada. Three more were born after 1850: Isaac and George in Ohio, and Sarah Jane in Wisconsin. Ada recalled that her grandmother's birth date was August 9, 1825. This would have made her 25 in September of 1850 when the census was taken, as it is recorded thereon. From the age of their oldest child, we can reasonably estimate that She was married to James Schooley in about 1843, when she would have been eighteen years old. In 1896, after her husband's death, Celeste (Smith) Schooley visited her son, Will Schooley, in Denver. On the back of a picture of her at this time is written in [her daughter Ada Abbott] Colvin's handwriting, 'Grandmother Celeste Smith Schooley at the home of Wm. Schooley in Denver on her 71st birthday. She was lovely when she had on her black bonnet trimmed with violets.' She went on to Portland, Oregon to visit her son, George, where she died and was buried." In October of 1999, I contacted Connie Thaxton, a cousin of Roger Raines, the gentleman with whom Bampo had corresponded regarding the Schooley line. Among the line she sent me, there was listed James Schooley, married to E.C. Smith. This suggests that our ancestress was indeed named Elizabeth, and that Celeste was her middle name.
