I found the birth and death dates for Stephen's second wife, Mindwell Hastings. She is on the list of folks on the record below. I am assuming that her maiden name was Hastings.
Found it! I think that I probably miss such records of these because I don't notice where to look beyond what first comes up.
Whoever originally set up this profile for Stephen Condit Pierson has Mina H Glazier as the second wife, but with no source for it. The 1900 Census has her as Mindwell Pierson - the record that you found seems to clearly be the same Mindwell Hastings so I have changed her name on the profile for Stephen. Now she needs her own profile. In the 1910 Census Stephen appears to have a third wife - Sarah?
I have also not located sources for all of the children listed for Stephen and Hannah.
Yes, this was a strange situation...I found it when I was looking for the name of a Latimer, who is on that list. I really don't like using the Charles Hale collection as sources, because is it not an official record, but sometimes you can't find anything else.
I have been working on the many many profiles appearing on the Suggestion List correcting the Ct. to Connecticut from one specific profile manager who uses abbreviations for the states on profiles he creates. He may have over 100,000 profiles, but a whole lot of them need corrections for formats. Also, there were a lot of profiles created without sources, and then orphaned. Couldn't even take the time to add the "Unsourced" template...
