  • Notes 
    • FamilySearch.org shows David marrying Polina Lane in Brown County, Ohio on January 7, 1830
      It also lists David, son of James and Elinore Wilson, as dying in 1867 in New York. No other details.

      The 1850 census shows John Sears married to Polina from Ohio. Mildred Graham Willits has indicated that David's children included Wilson and Fredilla, names who are listed for John Sears and Polina.

      The 1860 census for Spiceland, Henry County, Indiana lists David Sears married to Polina and having 4 children at home - Phridilla -17; David -12; John 9; (illegilble - may be Schaline) -7. Thus we can confirm that John and David are the same people.

      Oral family history claims that his mother, Elinore, was disowned by her parents for jumping out a window and marrying James 4 Sears. As she became older, she asked her son, David, to travel with her to New York to claim the family inheritance.
