Notes for RICHARD STORMS:

Richard & family traveled to Ohio from New York in a Lumber Wagon. The 1840 Ohio census, shows Richard,& Louisa settled in Madison Township, Sandusky County, Ohio with their children John, Charles, Hannible & Eliza Ann. In 1845 another son, Hamilton was born to the couple. Shortly after Hamilton's birth, Louisa was declared insane by a jury of her peers and committed to the Ohio Lunatic Asylum. Not too long after this Richard packed up his household and moved to Livingston County, Michigan, where he is found on a tax-payers list.

Sometime afterwards he moved his family to Litchfield Township, Hillsdale county, Michigan where they lived for the next 30 years.

In the 1850 census, Richard is living with his children: John, age 17; Eliza Ann, age 16; Charles, age 13 and Hamilton, age 7. 10 year old Hannible for some reason lived with his Aunt Sabrina & Uncle James Smith in Bridgeton township, Newaygo county, Michigan. All the children, with the exception of John, are attending school. Richard and son John are listed as Farmers.

His brother David, along with his family are living 2 farms down from Richard.

Richard married Anna Vrooman in 1850, and started a family. Between wives Louisa & Anna, Richard fathered 11 children.

In 1880, Richard was still farming his land at the age of 75, his wife Anna, keeping house. Their children, Daniel, Ella, Mary, Adelbert and George are all living at home, along with a granddaughter, Olive M. Ferrell. Sometime between 1880 & 1900 Richard died, no death record or grave has been found for him as of yet. After the death of her husband, Anna along with her sons Adelbert & Daniel moved to Bridgeton Township to be near her son James Franklin and stepsons, John, Charles, Hannible & Hamilton all of whom had moved north when they reached their majority. She died sometime after 1900, as of yet there has been no death record found for her.

Most of Richard's children are buried in the Bridgeton Township Cemetery in Newaygo County, Michigan.

Residence: 1840, Madison twp., Sandusky County, Ohio

Notes for LOUISA HILTON:

In 1846, a complaint was filed with the Sandusky County Court of Common Pleas against Louisa, the charge being Insanity. Witnesses claimed she was a danger to herself and others, and needed to be committed. She was taken to the Ohio Lunatic Asylum on the 21st of February, 1846. Whether Louisa was indeed Insane will never be known, according to men who knew her for quite sometime she the "disease" for 2 years. She had given birth to her son Hamilton only 7 months earlier, she may have been suffering from Postpartum Depression, which we now know can last years and cause violent behavior, depression etc.. Another possible reason for her "Insanity" could very well have been Menopause given her age and the hardships of being a pioneer woman. It took only 16 days from the time a petition was filed to the time of her commitment. It is not known when or where Louisa died, she is found alive in 1860, listed as a lunatic living in a Poorhouse.
