--- "WILLIAM DYER'S WILL State of Indiana, Hamilton County In the name of God, Amen. I, William Dyer being weake in body but of sound mind, memory considering the uncertainty of this mortal life, Do make this my last will and testament in manner and form following that is to Say...I, hereby appoint Joseph Dyer, Executor of my last Will and testament...In witness thereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this fourth day of April in the Year of Our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and twenty six.

Indiana Towit ) Hamilton County )
Personally appeared before me the undersigned Clerk of the Hamilton Circuit Court and as such Clerk of the Probate Court of Said County on this twenty seventh day of April A.D. 1826, William C. Blackmore and on the twenty ninth day of same month also came James Steel two of the subscribing witnesses to the foregoing last will and testament of William Dyer, deceased and made oath that they saw William Dyer signe seal publish and declare the foregoing instrument of writing as and for his last will and testament and that they believe he was of perfect since [sic] and memory at the execution thereof.

State of Indiana, Hamilton County - May 26th, 1826, Sale Bill of the Property of William Dyer, Deceased...Wm. Hartly to S. Kettle [price paid was faded out evidently]...Wm. Hartly to buchel $3.1 [price paid evidently was partially faded]..."
... The "Kettle" purchased by Wm. Hartly might have been a Sugar, Stew, or Small kettle and the "buchel" probably was a bushel of some commodity considering the part of the price we can see. It is well to note that Wm. Hartly attended a public sale in Hamilton County, Indiana, on May 26th, 1826, with the need to purchase the items he bought. JDS

--- "William Hartley...males...(26 to 45) 1...females...(< 10) 2, (10 to 16) 1, (26 to 45) 1, (45 <) 1, (Foreigners Not Naturalized) 1...(Persons engaged in Manufacture) 1..."
...The lid for this material shows "Total All Persons...3" and "Number of Persons - Engaged in Agriculture: 1." I disagree with both presentations of fact. Pages 26 and 27 show the totals for Sprigg Twp. which gives a person the sense of where the columns are when coupled with the faded lines showing at the top and bottom of pages 27 and 29. Therefore, William Hartley is involved in manufacture. I counted the names down from the top and up from the bottom, thereby establishing the appropriate line using the well-defined column of persons in agriculture and William Hartley was not in agriculture. But, this same method showed me the line that included the marks which were for those residents of his household. The paper, the ink(?), time and storage, if not something else, caused fading and deterioration in the original copies. We should be happy to have access to what we have, but, I am not. It appeared to me that, after a few perusals on four different occasions, the fading and deterioration were hiding something. Thanks to a good computer with some quality programs and the capabilities provided with the materials I was researching, I was able to determine that several marks in the columns labeled "16 to 26" and "26 to 45" of the females were nearly invisible including a mark for William Hartley's wife. Thus, the "Total All Persons..." for me is 6. William's age is 26-44, his wife's age is 26-44, another female is 45+, two girls are <10 and another girl is 10-16. I'm assuming Hartley's wife was born in 1792 and William, himself, to be born after 1775, which does allow for a 10-year-old daughter who is difficult to attribute to the 45+ yrs. lady who might be William Hartley's sister or mother [not proved]. This extra person might be unrelated but the information given is too inspecific to prove. JDS
1830 U S CENSUS -- Ohio, Adams Co., Monroe Twp. -- 1 June 1830 (official census day)---p. 17 >
Name, Birth, Spouse, Children, Residence, Notes/Quotes
--- "William Hartley...males...(40 to 50) 1...females...(10 to 15) 1, (20 to 30) 1, (40 to 50) 1..."
...The lid for this material shows "Total All Persons...8" and "Home in 1830...Tiffin, Adams, Ohio." I disagree with these presentations of fact. The "Total All Persons...8" was derived from William Laughridge who was listed immediately prior to William Hartley. The "Home in 1830...Tiffin, Adams, Ohio" represents the majority of entries on page 17, while William Hartley is one of the last eight entries on the page, all of whom are residents of Monroe Township. (It appears to me that the 45+ yrs. female from the 1820 census is either dead or has moved elsewhere and, more than likely, Squire Hartley was born during the fall of 1830 and was not available for the census. Less likely is the possibility that William reported to the enumerator that he was currently married and that his wife was living in Hamilton Co., IN, during the incapacity of her father and did not know of the birth of his son.) This census caused me to adjust Sarah's age to the point that I think she may be Thomas and Mary Morris' firstborn child. Again, maybe Sarah did not know her own birth year, nor William's, and William, likewise. JDS

...I think William Hartley and family had moved to Hamilton Co., IN, as early as they could after the 1830 census, but at least by April 1834, since he had to liquidate his business, or sell nearly everything and recoup amongst his wife's relatives, the Morrises. JDS
