Janice,
Had you asked me this question last week I could not have answered. However, just this week I signed up for a month of Ancestry.com. I found some information for you looking through census records.
Jennie Scoville was born approx. 1859 in Wisconsin. The 1860 census lists her as Sarah J, so I assume her full name is Sarah Jennie Scoville. Census records also show her last name spelled as Scoville, Scovill, and what appears to be Scovele. The 1880 census shows her living with her mother and both have an occupation of dressmaker.
Jennie's parents were Philo Scoville and Mary Key (or Kay). Philo was b. in CT between 1816 and 1821 and Mary was b. in England in approx 1840. They were married in the 1860 and 1870 census but divorced in the 1880 census. I don't know the cause, but perhaps it had something to do with being married to a man as old as her father. Philo and Mary also had a son named James born approx 1862.
Mary Key's parents were William and Jane Key. William was b. in England approx 1815 and Jane was b. in England approx. 1807. In 1850 they were living in Rock Co., WI and had 4 children: Mary-age 10, John-age 7, Hannah-age 4, and David-age 1.
George Harris McNitt was b. in Ohio approx 1853. Both his parents were born in PA. The 1910 census shows George and Jennie's children as Clayton age 19 and Lulu age 13. I saw the birth records of Clayton and Lulu at the historical society and they both list another sibling named Harvey.
Clayton McNitt eventually married Nettie Henry. Nettie had a sister named Mary. Mary Henry married Chester Freedlund. Chester had a sister named Edna. Edna Freedlund was my great grandmother. So, you see, there is a connection to my family. Not much of one, but a connection none the less. I looked up some of this information in the past because I thought I might be related to Clayton (I'm not) and because a lot of my ancestors lived in and around Avon, WI and I like to see how all the families fit together.
I hope this all helps.Good luck with your search!
