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.
