Family of Alfred LINN and Jane Phoebe MCGOWAN
Alfred LINN b. 1835~4877 at Alabama4877. d. 1893 Jan 91905 at Philadelphia, PA1905. bd. Green Mount Cemetery1905.
Jane Phoebe MCGOWAN b. 1835~797 at Dutchess Co., NY5555. d. 1892 Dec 204989 at Philadelphia, PA4989. bd. North Cedar Hill Cemetery4989.
Married5579 18702279 at Pennsylvania?2279.
The marriage date is assumed from the 1870 census2279 for Philadelphia, PA, in which Jane McCard appears with children Mary, Emma and Wallace, enumerated in June; and Jane Lynn appears with children Mary, Emma and Wallace, enumerated in November.
In 1850, Phebe J McGowan, age 15, resided5554 in Stockport, NY, in the household of Clarissa McGowan, age 60, along with Clarissa McGowan, age 20. All three were listed as born in New York. In 1855, Jane P Mcgowan, age 20, resided5555 in Stockport, in the household of Clarissa Mcgowen, listed as Clarissa's child. Her full name is assumed from those entries. That 1855 census indicates that Clarissa and Jane Magowen were residents only 2 years, which conflicts with their appearance in the 1850 census in Stockport. It may be that they moved from Stockport shortly after 1850, and moved back to Stockport about 1853.
In the 1870 census2279 for Philadelphia, it seems that Jane appears twice: as Jane McCard, with children Mary, Emma, Wallace and John (McCard), residing in the household of Clark Alkins, her brother-in-law (enumerated June 25); and as Jane "Lynn," apparently the wife of Alfred Lynn, with children Mary, Emma and Wallace, next door to Clark and "Clarency" Alkins (enumerated Nov 17.) The ages of Mary, Emma and Wallace, are the same in both occurrences. The death certificate4989 for Mary E Clarke, born Jun 27, 1856, in New York, lists her parents as "Janes" (typo?) McCard, b NY, and Jane Macgowan, b NY. From that information it appears that Jane married first James W McCard, and married second, between June and November 1870, Alfred Linn.
Jane P Linn died4989 Dec 20, 1892, age 58, married, a resident of 1812 Hazzard St; she was buried Dec 24, 1892, in North Cedar Hill Cemetery.
