If you look at the image of the family tree from family search you will see that the daughter of Mary Ann Hagey, Martha H. Lukens married Reece Hagy Hunter.  Reece Hagy Hunter's mother was Elizabeth Lewis Hagy (1813 - 1885) and she was the daugther of Jacob Hagey and Hannah Levis Robeson.  So most likely Mary Ann and Elizabeth Lewis are first or second cousins.

Erik,

I don't have the actual answer to your question, but on the 1880 US census for Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA states that both of Mary's parents were born in England. (Her birth year doesn't exactly match your records, but the children's names match your Mary's family).

"United States Census, 1880," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9YB8-37K?cc=1417683&wc=QZ2W-WDJ%3A1589394781%2C1589410714%2C1589401700%2C1589406305 : 24 December 2015), Pennsylvania > Philadelphia > Philadelphia > ED 469 > image 17 of 24; citing NARA microfilm publication T9 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.).

Reba

Reba, this listing of the 1880 census data, the way you have it, looks very helpful. How do you get this data to list like that? Or, did you have to write each entry out by hand?

Alexandra,

I wish I could give you a simple answer.  I did a combination of cut-and-paste, and editing.  Do you know how to get the cut-and-paste version of the census on FamilySearch?   It still doesn't come out perfectly for me, and in this case, since the census headings didn't show, I added the dashes and a couple of extra words to "explain" some of the data.

For example, I added the words "age" before the ages, and I added the words "born about" before the year given.  FamilySearch will give you an estimated year of birth when you cut and paste their transcripts -- but they are strictly calculated by subtracting the age from the census year, and can be off + or - a year.

When I add this type of information to a Wikitree profile, I put a " : " (colon) in front of the names when I want  each person to have their own line.  Otherwise, Wikitree just puts it all in an unorganized long sentence.  I'm trying to learn "tables", which would put the census in a more census-looking format, but I pretty much forget how to do it every time, so it's a work in progress.

That's probably way more than you wanted to know (or way less). Let me know if I got anywhere close to answering what you really wanted to know.

Reba

Thank you, Reba! I will save your email so I can refer to it each time, until I get the hang of it!

Just found on an ancestry tree that her parents are Samuel Hagy (1804 - 1891) and Martha Mulvany (1808 - 1851).
