The following is a combination of three emails that I sent to the Wapello Co list in response to your request for information. I wasn't sure it was being posted to this list, so came here to do it separately today. It appears that my email to the list didn't post. So, here is all the data I found for you.

Ollie B b March 1870 mother of 1 child/none living TX OH MYMore Info:
found Sarah E. Humiston, Arthur's mother, in Clark Co, Jackson in 1910 page 37 as head of household only with a boarder....says she was mother of 9 and only 2 living.
In 1920, Sarah was in Marshall Co, Marshallton page 214 in the household of her daughter Sada M., husband and family.
Charles, brother of Arthur, in 1900 and 1910 was in Louisa Co, Marshall. If you need those page numbers, let me know...I forgot to jot them down.

Julie Bissell Tupker
have found some additional data for you....
In 1860, Louisa Co, Marshall page 872
I found James Humiston (and family) on this page along with another family two households away with Humiston young people. It looks like James' mother had been widowed and remarried.
James Humiston 25 CT
Sarah E 20 OH
Ellen J. 2 IA
Charles P 1 IAThomas Forbes 63 NY
Lucy 49 CT
Lucy A Huniston 17 CT
Sarah (?hard to read) IA
George Forbes 7 IA
John Huniston 21 CTFrom this...we can speculate that Lucy Forbes had been previous married to a Huniston who was the father of James 25, Lucy A 17. and John 21. While George Forbes could be the offspring of Thomas Forbes' previous marriage, it would be very possible that he was the son of Thomas and Lucy. I'm guessing this due to the age of Thomas Forbes. A previous wife may have been in her mid to upper 50s when George Forbes was born. Lucy would only have been 42 and is a likely mother..thus George Forbes is probably the half brother of your James Huniston.
A marriage for Thomas and Lucy may have occurred in Iowa...probably right around 1850-52.
There might be a probate for Lucy's husband, James's father, in the courthouse of the county where Lucy remarried around that time frame...a check of the probate index would surely turn up a male by this name.
Looking back to the 1840 census....the family was somewhere in CT do to the birth year of Lucy A. Huniston, but possibly by 1850 they could have been in Iowa...or even back in CT, but my guess is Iowa.
