  	20180915HAv, pasted from BUfx: Martha "Mattie" Sine Rice Birth: Aug. 24 (21 -jcw), 1800 York County, Pennsylvania, USA Death: May 19, 1870 Monongalia County, West Virginia, USA [death -- pension payment records.] Twin to John Sine, Notes under Jacob Christy Sine in Chronicles of Core Page 155-- of his sisters: Martha SINE was the mother of - Parmelia SINE, who married Benjamin Ammons, and - Alpheus SINE, the father of Rezin Sine, and - Milton, the father of Albert Grant Sine. Through her marriage to Thomas Rice, (John Thomas Rice) Martha SINE became the mother of - John, - Minerva, who married Eli Shuman, - Mary who married William, son of Moses Mathews, and - Rebecca, mother of Landora, Jennie and Belle Rice. Mr. Core does not mention the infant daughter Peggy, named in the will of Stephen Archer 1824, first husband of Martha Sine. ("I leave to my wife Martha and her infant daughter PEGGY," next line, "to my wife Martha and OUR daughter") Martha Sine married Stephen Archer June 12, 1823 Stephen Archer 1775-1824 [He was a widow(er) when he married Martha Sine] Tennant's of Monongalia County, by John Michael Price Written: As stated before, Stephen Archer was a long-time friend of the Tennant family. His pension file revealed the following: - About 1783 at the age of thirty-eight he was married to an eighteen year old woman named Elizabeth. They had at least two daughters whom they named Elizabeth and Mary. Elizabeth was severely handicapped from birth and remained at home. They lived on the property of W. Alexander Clegg. Stephen taught school for many years to support the family but following a period of unsteady nerves he was without a profession and the family borrowed heavily from Mr. Clegg. In 1818 at the age of 73, without income or assets, Stephen filed for and was awarded a soldier's pension. Sometime after 1820 his wife may have died, for - on June 12, 1822 at the age of about seventy-seven he married Martha, the twenty year old daughter of William and Margaret Sine of York, Pennsylvania. About May 12, 1824 Stephen Archer died. An interesting footnote of "pension intrigue" followed his death. From his pension recorded it is revealed that his widow Martha remarried in 1835 to a man name John Rice who subsequently died in 1848. In 1853 via Stephen's service record Martha applied for and was awarded a widow's pension. In 1855 she was awarded 160 acres of bounty land. From there the story takes an interesting historical turn. In the files is a letter, dated 1881 from the office of one A. Stephen Hough of St. George West Virginia to W. W. Duley. Hough's stationery indicated that he was an "Agent for Subscription Books, Sewing Machines, Pictures, New and Used Inventions, Etc.: In the Letter Mr. Hough alleges the following: Transcribed as Written: Dear Sir I take the liberty of writing you (a case in point) - Dr. James V. Boughner Morgantown W Va, got a pention for Matty Rice as the Widow of Archie - a Revolutionary soldier and she drew a pension for many years (or as long as she lived.) My object in writing to you, is to make a plain statement of facts in the case. To wit: Matty Sine at the age of 18 married the Old man Archie and he died. She then ran off with her Bro in law whose wife was living and went to Ohio from W. Va. An had two children by him. She (Matty) got in the poor house in Ohio and got aquatined with John Rice an Irishman and then got married, they lived together and had 6 children 5 girls and one boy. Then Boughner got her a pension - Matty swore falsely when she said she was Archies Widow and had not remarried since his death - and each time that her pension papers were made out she swore falsely that she was Archies widow - and Bougher knew it. Now my object in writing you is to know if Uncle Sam can't pull back all the money off Boughner and make him Smoke for it. Any evidence you want can be turned you by writing to A. Stephen Hough, Saint George West Va Tucker Co please aser by retun mail (enclose-stamp) Investigation of the files reveals that Matty, regardless of with whom she had children, did in fact reveal that she had remarried but that her second husband had died. The fact that her witnesses were all named Sine - her maiden name - does raise some suspiction. It is unclear whether Boughner ever did indeed Smoke for the allegations made by the vigilant Mr. Hough. Note: Is this A Stephen Hough related to Asbury Hough that married Margaret Sine daughter of Jacob C. Sine. and why was he so interesting in the life of Martha. MY NOTE: Martha would have continued to receive this pension because she had a daughter PEGGY with Stephen Archer. MY NOTE, MYSTERIES AND QUESTION: Between 1824 and 1835 Who was the brother in law that Martha ran away with. What 2 children were born to Martha and this brother in law? Were these two children: Alpheus 1827 and Milton 1828. We may never know, until we discover what brother in law Martha ran off with to Ohio. Was the brother in law an Archer?,(probably so, there are many Archer's in Ohio and some on the 1830 1840 census in Greene County, PA and Monongalia Co. WV) Or was he the husband of her two sisters, Sarah or Ruth. No information has been found on these two sisters. Was one of these sisters married and still living in 1824 and if so to WHOM? According to some listings Martha Sine married John Thomas Rice April 24, 1835. I can't find any marriage record for Martha and John Thomas Rice. My assessment of the 1830 where it seems Martha and her children are living with her parents: 1830 Census: Western Monongalia, Virginia M19_191 Page: 420 Image: 833 2 males 0-5 born 1825-1830 (Probably grandsons: Alpheus 1827 and Milton 1828) 1 male 10-15 bn 1815-1820 probably grandson Unknown name 1 male 70-80 bn 1750-1760 William Sine, Sr. 1763 1 female 5-10 bn 1825-1830 (probably grand daughter) Permelia Sine born 1828 1 female 10 -15 bn 1815-1820 (grand daughter Margaret Sine Archer born 1823) 2 females 20-30 bn 1800-1810 (daughters Margaret 1802-Rebecca 1809) 1 female 30-40 born 1790-1800 (daughter Martha Sine born 1800) 1 female 60-70 1760-1770 (wife Margaret Christy Sine 1768) 1840 This census would be where her children Alpheus, Milton, Permelia, and Margaret were living with their grand parents: 1840 Census: William SINE Township: West, Monongalia, Virginia Roll: M704_567 Page: 133 Image: 268 2 males 10-15 bn 1825-1830 (Alpheus 1827, Milton 1828) 1 male 80-90 bn 1750 - 1760 William Sine, Sr. 1763 1 female 5-10 bn 1830-1835 Grand daughter Permelia 1828 (not quiet in the bracket) 1 female 15-20 born 1820-1825 probably grand daughter Margaret Sine Archer 1823 1 female 30-40 bn 1800-1810 daughter Margaret born 1802 1 female 70-80 bn 1760-1770 wife Margaret Christy Sine 1768 1840 John RICE: Monongalia, Virginia, United States 1 male under 5 bn 1835-1840 son John Jr. 1839 1 male 40-49 born 1791-1800 John bn 1799 1 female under 5 born 1835-1840 Rebecca 1837 1 female 40-49 born - 1791-1800 Martha bn 1800 1850 District 37, Monongalia, Virginia Martha Rice 49 Rebecca Rice 14 John Rice 11 Manirva Rice 8 Mary Rice 4 1860: District 7, Monongalia, Virginia Martha Rice 59 Rebecca Rice 23 Minerva Rice 17 Mary E Rice 14 Priscilla J Rice 10/12 (Priscilla (Jennie) daughter of Rebecca) Landora O Rice 4 daughter of Rebecca Living on Miracle Run, Maybe she buried in Miracle Run Cemetery.

  	Martha "Mattie" Sine Rice Birth: Aug. 24, 1800 York County, Pennsylvania, USA Death: May 19, 1870 Monongalia County, West Virginia, USA [death -- pension payment records.] Twin to John Sine, Notes under Jacob Christy Sine in Chronicles of Core Page 155-- of his sisters: Martha SINE was the mother of - Parmelia SINE, who married Benjamin Ammons, and - Alpheus SINE, the father of Rezin Sine, and - Milton, the father of Albert Grant Sine. Through her marriage to Thomas Rice, (John Thomas Rice) Martha SINE became the mother of - John, - Minerva, who married Eli Shuman, - Mary who married William, son of Moses Mathews, and - Rebecca, mother of Landora, Jennie and Belle Rice. Mr. Core does not mention the infant daughter Peggy, named in the will of Stephen Archer 1824, first husband of Martha Sine. ("I leave to my wife Martha and her infant daughter PEGGY," next line, "to my wife Martha and OUR daughter") Martha Sine married Stephen Archer June 12, 1823 Stephen Archer 1775-1824 [He was a widow(er) when he married Martha Sine] Tennant's of Monongalia County, by John Michael Price Written: As stated before, Stephen Archer was a long-time friend of the Tennant family. His pension file revealed the following: About 1783 at the age of thirty-eight he was married to an eighteen year old woman named Elizabeth. They had at least two daughters whom they named Elizabeth and Mary. Elizabeth was severely handicapped from birth and remained at home. They lived on the property of W. Alexander Clegg. Stephen taught school for many years to support the family but following a period of unsteady nerves he was without a profession and the family borrowed heavily from Mr. Clegg. In 1818 at the age of 73, without income or assets, Stephen filed for and was awarded a soldier's pension. Sometime after 1820 his wife may have died, for on June 12, 1822 at the age of about seventy-seven he married Martha, the twenty year old daughter of William and Margaret Sine of York, Pennsylvania. About May 12, 1824 Stephen Archer died. An interesting footnote of "pension intrigue" followed his death. From his pension recorded it is revealed that his widow Martha remarried in 1835 to a man name John Rice who subsequently died in 1848. In 1853 via Stephen's service record Martha applied for and was awarded a widow's pension. In 1855 she was awarded 160 acres of bounty land. From there the story takes an interesting historical turn. In the files is a letter, dated 1881 from the office of one A. Stephen Hough of St. George West Virginia to W. W. Duley. Hough's stationery indicated that he was an "Agent for Subscription Books, Sewing Machines, Pictures, New and Used Inventions, Etc.: In the Letter Mr. Hough alleges the following: Transcribed as Written: Dear Sir I take the liberty of writing you (a case in point) - Dr. James V. Boughner Morgantown W Va, got a pention for Matty Rice as the Widow of Archie - a Revolutionary soldier and she drew a pension for many years (or as long as she lived.) My object in writing to you, is to make a plain statement of facts in the case. To wit: Matty Sine at the age of 18 married the Old man Archie and he died. She then ran off with her Bro in law whose wife was living and went to Ohio from W. Va. An had two children by him. She (Matty) got in the poor house in Ohio and got aquatined with John Rice an Irishman and then got married, they lived together and had 6 children 5 girls and one boy. Then Boughner got her a pension - Matty swore falsely when she said she was Archies Widow and had not remarried since his death - and each time that her pension papers were made out she swore falsely that she was Archies widow - and Bougher knew it. Now my object in writing you is to know if Uncle Sam can't pull back all the money off Boughner and make him Smoke for it. Any evidence you want can be turned you by writing to A. Stephen Hough, Saint George West Va Tucker Co please aser by retun mail (enclose-stamp) Investigation of the files reveals that Matty, regardless of with whom she had children, did in fact reveal that she had remarried but that her second husband had died. The fact that her witnesses were all named Sine - her maiden name - does raise some suspiction. It is unclear whether Boughner ever did indeed Smoke for the allegations made by the vigilant Mr. Hough. Note: Is this A Stephen Hough related to Asbury Hough that married Margaret Sine daughter of Jacob C. Sine. and why was he so interesting in the life of Martha. MY NOTE: Martha would have continued to receive this pension because she had a daughter PEGGY with Stephen Archer. MY NOTE, MYSTERIES AND QUESTION: Between 1824 and 1835 Who was the brother in law that Martha ran away with. What 2 children were born to Martha and this brother in law? Were these two children: Alpheus 1827 and Milton 1828. We may never know, until we discover what brother in law Martha ran off with to Ohio. Was the brother in law an Archer?,(probably so, there are many Archer's in Ohio and some on the 1830 1840 census in Greene County, PA and Monongalia Co. WV) Or was he the husband of her two sisters, Sarah or Ruth. No information has been found on these two sisters. Was one of these sisters married and still living in 1824 and if so to WHOM? According to some listings Martha Sine married John Thomas Rice April 24, 1835. I can't find any marriage record for Martha and John Thomas Rice.

Through her marriage to Thomas Rice, (John Thomas Rice) Martha SINE became the mother of - John, - Minerva, who married Eli Shuman, - Mary who married William, son of Moses Mathews, and - Rebecca, mother of Landora, Jennie and Belle Rice. Mr. Core does not mention the infant daughter Peggy, named in the will of Stephen Archer 1824, first husband of Martha Sine. ("I leave to my wife Martha and her infant daughter PEGGY," next line, "to my wife Martha and OUR daughter") Martha Sine married Stephen Archer June 12, 1823 Stephen Archer 1775-1824 [He was a widow(er) when he married Martha Sine] Tennant's of Monongalia County, by John Michael Price Written: As stated before, Stephen Archer was a long-time friend of the Tennant family. His pension file revealed the following: - About 1783 at the age of thirty-eight he was married to an eighteen year old woman named Elizabeth. They had at least two daughters whom they named Elizabeth and Mary. Elizabeth was severely handicapped from birth and remained at home. They lived on the property of W. Alexander Clegg. Stephen taught school for many years to support the family but following a period of unsteady nerves he was without a profession and the family borrowed heavily from Mr. Clegg. In 1818 at the age of 73, without income or assets, Stephen filed for and was awarded a soldier's pension. Sometime after 1820 his wife may have died, for - on June 12, 1822 at the age of about seventy-seven he married Martha, the twenty year old daughter of William and Margaret Sine of York, Pennsylvania. About May 12, 1824 Stephen Archer died. An interesting footnote of "pension intrigue" followed his death. From his pension recorded it is revealed that his widow Martha remarried in 1835 to a man name John Rice who subsequently died in 1848. In 1853 via Stephen's service record Martha applied for and was awarded a widow's pension. In 1855 she was awarded 160 acres of bounty land. From there the story takes an interesting historical turn. In the files is a letter, dated 1881 from the office of one A. Stephen Hough of St. George West Virginia to W. W. Duley. Hough's stationery indicated that he was an "Agent for Subscription Books, Sewing Machines, Pictures, New and Used Inventions, Etc.: In the Letter Mr. Hough alleges the following: Transcribed as Written: Dear Sir I take the liberty of writing you (a case in point) - Dr. James V. Boughner Morgantown W Va, got a pention for Matty Rice as the Widow of Archie - a Revolutionary soldier and she drew a pension for many years (or as long as she lived.) My object in writing to you, is to make a plain statement of facts in the case. To wit: Matty Sine at the age of 18 married the Old man Archie and he died. She then ran off with her Bro in law whose wife was living and went to Ohio from W. Va. An had two children by him. She (Matty) got in the poor house in Ohio and got aquatined with John Rice an Irishman and then got married, they lived together and had 6 children 5 girls and one boy. Then Boughner got her a pension - Matty swore falsely when she said she was Archies Widow and had not remarried since his death - and each time that her pension papers were made out she swore falsely that she was Archies widow - and Bougher knew it. Now my object in writing you is to know if Uncle Sam can't pull back all the money off Boughner and make him Smoke for it. Any evidence you want can be turned you by writing to A. Stephen Hough, Saint George West Va Tucker Co please aser by retun mail (enclose-stamp) Investigation of the files reveals that Matty, regardless of with whom she had children, did in fact reveal that she had remarried but that her second husband had died. The fact that her witnesses were all named Sine - her maiden name - does raise some suspiction. It is unclear whether Boughner ever did indeed Smoke for the allegations made by the vigilant Mr. Hough. Note: Is this A Stephen Hough related to Asbury Hough that married Margaret Sine daughter of Jacob C. Sine. and why was he so interesting in the life of Martha. MY NOTE: Martha would have continued to receive this pension because she had a daughter PEGGY with Stephen Archer. MY NOTE, MYSTERIES AND QUESTION: Between 1824 and 1835 Who was the brother in law that Martha ran away with. What 2 children were born to Martha and this brother in law? Were these two children: Alpheus 1827 and Milton 1828. We may never know, until we discover what brother in law Martha ran off with to Ohio. Was the brother in law an Archer?,(probably so, there are many Archer's in Ohio and some on the 1830 1840 census in Greene County, PA and Monongalia Co.

Stephen Hough, Saint George West Va Tucker Co please aser by retun mail (enclose-stamp) Investigation of the files reveals that Matty, regardless of with whom she had children, did in fact reveal that she had remarried but that her second husband had died. The fact that her witnesses were all named Sine - her maiden name - does raise some suspiction. It is unclear whether Boughner ever did indeed Smoke for the allegations made by the vigilant Mr. Hough. Note: Is this A Stephen Hough related to Asbury Hough that married Margaret Sine daughter of Jacob C. Sine. and why was he so interesting in the life of Martha. MY NOTE: Martha would have continued to receive this pension because she had a daughter PEGGY with Stephen Archer. MY NOTE, MYSTERIES AND QUESTION: Between 1824 and 1835 Who was the brother in law that Martha ran away with. What 2 children were born to Martha and this brother in law? Were these two children: Alpheus 1827 and Milton 1828. We may never know, until we discover what brother in law Martha ran off with to Ohio. Was the brother in law an Archer?,(probably so, there are many Archer's in Ohio and some on the 1830 1840 census in Greene County, PA and Monongalia Co. WV) Or was he the husband of her two sisters, Sarah or Ruth. No information has been found on these two sisters. Was one of these sisters married and still living in 1824 and if so to WHOM? According to some listings Martha Sine married John Thomas Rice April 24, 1835. I can't find any marriage record for Martha and John Thomas Rice.

  	20180915HAv, pasted from BUfx: Martha "Mattie" Sine Rice Birth: Aug. 24 (21 -jcw), 1800 York County, Pennsylvania, USA Death: May 19, 1870 Monongalia County, West Virginia, USA [death -- pension payment records.] Twin to John Sine, Notes under Jacob Christy Sine in Chronicles of Core Page 155-- of his sisters: Martha SINE was the mother of - Parmelia SINE, who married Benjamin Ammons, and - Alpheus SINE, the father of Rezin Sine, and - Milton, the father of Albert Grant Sine. Through her marriage to Thomas Rice, (John Thomas Rice) Martha SINE became the mother of - John, - Minerva, who married Eli Shuman, - Mary who married William, son of Moses Mathews, and - Rebecca, mother of Landora, Jennie and Belle Rice. Mr. Core does not mention the infant daughter Peggy, named in the will of Stephen Archer 1824, first husband of Martha Sine. ("I leave to my wife Martha and her infant daughter PEGGY," next line, "to my wife Martha and OUR daughter") Martha Sine married Stephen Archer June 12, 1823 Stephen Archer 1775-1824 [He was a widow(er) when he married Martha Sine] Tennant's of Monongalia County, by John Michael Price Written: As stated before, Stephen Archer was a long-time friend of the Tennant family. His pension file revealed the following: - About 1783 at the age of thirty-eight he was married to an eighteen year old woman named Elizabeth. They had at least two daughters whom they named Elizabeth and Mary. Elizabeth was severely handicapped from birth and remained at home. They lived on the property of W. Alexander Clegg. Stephen taught school for many years to support the family but following a period of unsteady nerves he was without a profession and the family borrowed heavily from Mr. Clegg. In 1818 at the age of 73, without income or assets, Stephen filed for and was awarded a soldier's pension. Sometime after 1820 his wife may have died, for - on June 12, 1822 at the age of about seventy-seven he married Martha, the twenty year old daughter of William and Margaret Sine of York, Pennsylvania. About May 12, 1824 Stephen Archer died. An interesting footnote of "pension intrigue" followed his death. From his pension recorded it is revealed that his widow Martha remarried in 1835 to a man name John Rice who subsequently died in 1848. In 1853 via Stephen's service record Martha applied for and was awarded a widow's pension. In 1855 she was awarded 160 acres of bounty land. From there the story takes an interesting historical turn. In the files is a letter, dated 1881 from the office of one A. Stephen Hough of St. George West Virginia to W. W. Duley. Hough's stationery indicated that he was an "Agent for Subscription Books, Sewing Machines, Pictures, New and Used Inventions, Etc.: In the Letter Mr. Hough alleges the following: Transcribed as Written: Dear Sir I take the liberty of writing you (a case in point) - Dr. James V. Boughner Morgantown W Va, got a pention for Matty Rice as the Widow of Archie - a Revolutionary soldier and she drew a pension for many years (or as long as she lived.) My object in writing to you, is to make a plain statement of facts in the case. To wit: Matty Sine at the age of 18 married the Old man Archie and he died. She then ran off with her Bro in law whose wife was living and went to Ohio from W. Va. An had two children by him. She (Matty) got in the poor house in Ohio and got aquatined with John Rice an Irishman and then got married, they lived together and had 6 children 5 girls and one boy. Then Boughner got her a pension - Matty swore falsely when she said she was Archies Widow and had not remarried since his death - and each time that her pension papers were made out she swore falsely that she was Archies widow - and Bougher knew it. Now my object in writing you is to know if Uncle Sam can't pull back all the money off Boughner and make him Smoke for it. Any evidence you want can be turned you by writing to A. Stephen Hough, Saint George West Va Tucker Co please aser by retun mail (enclose-stamp) Investigation of the files reveals that Matty, regardless of with whom she had children, did in fact reveal that she had remarried but that her second husband had died. The fact that her witnesses were all named Sine - her maiden name - does raise some suspiction. It is unclear whether Boughner ever did indeed Smoke for the allegations made by the vigilant Mr. Hough. Note: Is this A Stephen Hough related to Asbury Hough that married Margaret Sine daughter of Jacob C. Sine. and why was he so interesting in the life of Martha. MY NOTE: Martha would have continued to receive this pension because she had a daughter PEGGY with Stephen Archer. MY NOTE, MYSTERIES AND QUESTION: Between 1824 and 1835 Who was the brother in law that Martha ran away with. What 2 children were born to Martha and this brother in law?
