There are many web pages purporting to list the ancestors of the author Ernest Hemingway BUT source documents are rare.  Through US census records it is possible to trace Ernest Hemingway, son of Clarence, son of Anson, son of Allen - then the past - like the wikitree profiles - is murky.

     Need to find document sources to prove or disprove Allen Hemingway as son of Jacob Street HEMINGWAY and Lucretia SMITH.  Some internet family trees say Jacob Street HEMINGWAY married Polly HINMAN.

   Allen HEMINGWAY household includes Lucretia SMITH [1850 census Plymouth, CT & 1860 census Leyden, IL] - So IF this is his mother without her husband's surname is she estranged from her purported husband Jacob residing with family # 125 Plymouth, CT -  Jacob S 68 yrs farmer, Polly 65 yrs [wife ? sister ?], Samuel S 31 yrs, Esther B 23 yrs, Emily A 1 yr.

I sent you a private message on inquiry before seeing that I could have replied here-here's copy/paste of my email to you:

Hi, Sheila...I see that earlier today, you posted an inquiry regarding documentation (sources) of Allen Hemingway's parents and marriage. See the attachments to this message...I haven't had the time to attach whatever documentations I have for my family tree on Wiki as I am trying to manage 2 other sites as well as work a job but seeing your inquiry, I thought I'd at least send you what I have. The first attachment shows documentation that Harriet Linsey Tyler is Allen's wife. The second attachment shows name of Allen's mother. On the 3rd attachment, Allen's father, Jacob, for the Sons of the American Revolution Membership Application, Jacob's name is spelled wrong so I sent you Jacob's obituary (4th attachment) for proper spelling and middle name documentation....Sent this documentation so show that Jacob is Allen's father. Nalani

As the above is a copy/paste of email to you, refer to that email for attachments sent as proof of documentation. I hope the attached documentations address most of your inquiries.

Thank you for the lead to the SAR applications.  I will email you after I have looked through it all.

If we could get the probate file for Jacob Street Hemingway that could solve the question of his descendants.

Best regards,
