William Henry Muncy [1] |
- There is confusion on Internet sites about the parents of William H. Muncy. Ancestry trees are in error.
Samuel/Elizabeth Muncy of Giles Co., VA are not the parents of this William Henry Muncy. A person with that name is listed with them in the 1850 census in Giles Co., VA --BUT our William Henry Muncy is in Dallas County, Texas in 1850.
Samuel Muncy / Hannah Black are not the parents of our William Henry Muncy - and it is hard to see why people think they are. Their son William was born in 1831 in Ohio (not Virginia or Kentucky). He died in Ohio in 1853. He could not be William Henry Muncy in Texas marrying about 1851 and having children in 1853, 1855, and 1858.
1850 Census - Dallas Co., TX shows a William H. Muncy (b, ca 1820) - state of birth "unknown." He was living with the Collins family. It is likely that someone other than William provided the answers since he is likely to have known the state he was born in, and the age 30 may have been an estimate. The 1850 info should be considered unreliable.
1860 Census - Dallas Co., TX - shows him born in Virginia ca 1827. He is married to Sarah E. Muncy, with three children.
STATE OF BIRTH: the 1860 Dallas, Co. census shows him born in Virginia. Gilford (his son) in 1900-1910-1920 censuses shows his father born in KENTUCKY. Daughter Zerelda death certificate shows father W.H. Muncey born in Kentucky. NOTE: After the Civil War, some were anxious to distance themselves from the confederacy and it is possible that they said "Kentucky" since it was not a part of the confederacy. Both Kentucky and Virginia should be considered possibilities.
Daughter Zerelda death cert shows mother as Sarah Riley. Most census records show Sarah E. Muncy to have been born in Illinois, but Zerelda's death cert shows Kentucky (probably an error guessing that was born in same state as W.H. Muncey, who was shown born in Kentucky.
No records to indicate this for sure, but William and Sarah were probably married in Texas around 1850-1852. Best guess is 1851.
