Andrew BOLLINGER
Eva Jane LAUVER

Please Note: the 1850 census raises a question as to whether the children attributed to Andrew are his or whether they're his wife's from a prior marriage. Consider this page tentative.

Comments:
We are plagued here with some obvious census errors, but possibly also a serious mis-conception. Some have suggested that our subject may have been of Fulton Co., PA, but the Andrew BOLLINGER in Fulton County is clearly not our subject because in the 1850 census he is age 45 [b. PA], has wife Elizabeth and children William, John, Benjamin, Jacob, and Rebecca; then, in the 1860 census, he's a widower (age 52, b. PA), with children William, Benjamin, Jacob, and Rebecca. Definitely not our subject. But our most serious problem is our subject's actual 1850 census record, in Stark Co., OH. Either the enumerator was grossly in error or Andrew and Eva were not yet married. Their not being married, yet, would explain why we do not find our subject as head-of-household in the 1840 census. The consequence, of course, would be that the four children attributed to Andrew are not his, but those of Eva's first husband. We desperately need Eva's marriage record(s)! If anyone has information to resolve this queston, please share.

2. 1790 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): Joseph BOLLINGER (or var.) not found. Henry LAUBER/LAUVER not found.

3. 1800 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): Joseph BOLLINGER (or var.) not found. Henry LAUVER (30010-30010-00) is living in Franklin Twp., Adams Co., PA (p. 484); six children in ten years is remarkable.

4. 1810 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): There are two Joseph BOLINGERs in Baltimore Co., MD, both old enough to be our subject's father. Eve LAUBER (22100-22100-00) is living in Cumberland Twp., Adams Co., PA (p. 57), and either she's fibbing about her age or the enumerator erred.

5. 1820 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): There are three Joseph BOLLINGERs in Baltimore Co., MD, but no Andrew. There are no LAUVER/LAUBER (or obvious variation) in Adams Co., PA.

6. 1830 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): There are four Joseph BOLINGER/BOLLINGERs in the census, one in KY, one in MO, and two in Baltimore Co., MD. There are two Andrew's: an Andrew BOLLINGER (æ 50-60) in York Co., PA, who is too old to be our subject, and an Andrew BOLINGER (æ 20-30) in Westmoreland Co., PA, who could be our subject. The only LAUBER (or var.) living in Adams Co., PA, is [John] Henry LAUBER (æ 40-50) in Berwick Twp.

7. 1840 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com): The only Andrew BOLINGER (or var.) in the entire census is one in Bedford Co., PA, and he is age 60-70, so cannot be our subject. The only LAUBER (or var.) living in Adams Co., PA, is John [Henry] LAUVER (æ 40-50) in Franklin Twp.

8a. 1850 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #2-3 of 114): District 138, Perry Twp., Stark Co., OH, Roll M432_731, pp. 210B-211A, enumerated 16-17 Aug 1850, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1850 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):

Elizabeth " 2 F "

If this record is correct, it calls into question what is believed about our subjects. It does confirm that Sylvanus, Mary, and Elizabeth were adopted, which actually solves a problem rather than creating one (i.e., that Eve is to old to be Elizabeth's mother). But it raises the serious question of whether Andrew and Eva were married at this point. If not, then the four children attributed to Andrew are Eva's from a prior marriage — to a Mr. MATHUS?/MATHIS?/MATHIAS? (I wish I could read the surname clearly, but I can't). There are eight MATHIAS's in the 1840 census of Stark Co., OH, including two Jacob's. Alternatively, we could simply have an enumerator here who didn't know what the [bleep] he was doing. Daughter Charlotte appears to have gotten herself enumerated twice (it happens), once here with Eva and again, a month later, with her married sister (see next source).

Mary Jane should be 36/37 and Elizabeth should be 31/32. Assuming the 1850 census is correct, they are step-daughters. Listed eight households from son, Andrew BOLLINGER (æ 43, b. PA, wife Polly). Their daughter, Charlotte (BOLLINGER) SPADY (æ 50, b. PA) is living in Bourbon Twp., Marshall Co., IN (p. 74A), with her husband, Joseph SPADY (æ 69, b. Switzerland).

The same file quotes the will of Eve LAUVER of Franklin Twp., Adams Co., PA, signed 17 Aug 1842, in which daughter Eva is not mentioned.
