  Notes	William Edward appears in a couple of public member trees at ancestry.com as either Edward William or William Edward and the owners of those trees have him as the son of John H Minter and Elizabthe DOWNIE, with further ancestors back to Joseph Minter and Hannah TOMLIN of Fauquier County, Virginia. As of September 2015 I've been unable to verify this ancestry, which is why William Edward Minter appears unlinked to the other Minter families on this site. I chose to call him William Edward because that's how he appears on the record at findagrave.com. The latter is also the source for Emma's name. The following is copied from findagrave.com: "William Edward Minter, b. 31 Aug, 1835, in Parke Co. Ind. M 1st to Emma Jane Smoot, 2nd to Sarah Haskell, 3rd to Elizabeth Hightower. He served in the Civil War in Kansas. HIs children were: Harold Jefferson, Edward Franklin, Ida Belle, Martha Jane, and William Howard Minter." 1870 US Federal Census: in township 56, Range 31, Clinton County, Missouri (all MINTER) Edward (38, brick mason, born Indiana), Emma J (25, keeps house, born Kentucky), Edward (3, born Iowa) and Ida (1, born Missouri). 1880 US Federal Census: in Center township, Atchison County, Kansas (both MINTER) Edward (44, divorced, stone mason, born Indiana, father born Virginia, mother Kentucky) and Frank [ = Edward of 1870] (14, son, stone mason apprentice, born Iowa). In 1900 Edward now 64 was living with son Edward Frank, whose name it seems was Edward Frankin - see his record.
