Father George Elkanah SLAUENWHITE, b. 4 May 1833, Conquerall Bank, Lunenburg, NS d. 5 Feb 1896, New Road, Mill Village area, Queens, NS (Age 62 years) Mother Mary Ann HUBLEY, b. 26 Apr 1835, Laconia [Lakeview], Lunenburg, NS d. 16 Sep 1909, Nictaux, Annapolis, NS (Age 74 years) Marriage 27 May 1858 Bridgewater, Lunenburg, NS [6] Notes - There are two theories as to whom the Mary Ann HUBLEY b. 1835 married. The case for her as the wife of George Elkanah SLAUENWHITE rests on the following evidence:
a. She is born in New Dublin Township and, after marriage, a Census places the family in the Dublin portion of that township.
b. George Elkanah SLAUENWHITE was born and lived in an area near where this Mary Ann HUBLEY was born and lived.
c. On 27 May 1858, a Mary Ann HUBLEY marries George Elkanah SLAUENWHITE at Bridgewater, which was originally a part of the New Dublin Township.
d. The ages given for George Elkanah SLAUENWHITE's wife in the various censuses, together with her child-bearing years (1857-1879), all fit an 1835 birth.
e. The case for her as the wife of Joseph SEILER, who married a Mary Ann HUBLEY(age unknown) at St. Stephen's Anglican, Chester, in 1853--seems to be based solely on the fact that were she born in 1835, that would make her 18 in 1853, a good age for a first marriage. But it would seem likely that the Mary Ann HUBLEY who marries in Chester would be from the Chester or St. Margaret's Bay area. It would also seem that she is of the wrong religion, as the Mary Ann HUBLEY of Dublin would most likely have been married at Chester Baptist, were she married at Chester.
f. As George Elkanah and Mary (HUBLEY) SLAUENWHITE grew older, their oldest son, George, took over the family farm, which was just barely able to sustain the family. At that point, all of the children of George and Mary move to the Annapolis Valley. I believe the reason they did so is that this is where all of their HUBLEY aunts, uncles, and cousins are know to have moved to a bit earlier. After her husband's death, their mother joins them there.
g. The age at death in her death register entry is 74 yrs, which exaclty matches an 1835 birth.
So while there is no smoking gun to prove that the Mary HUBLEY who marries George Elkanah SLAUENWHITE is the daughter of Alexander HUBLEY 1809, I believe that the circumstantial evidence leaves almost no room for doubt. [Bob H]
