Notes for George Washington K Faubion
Notes for GEORGE WASHINGTON K. FAUBION:
From Faubion and Allied Families, page 575:

"Uncle Wash" and Senith/Cenith are shown in the 1850 Census in Clay County. By 1860 they were in Newton Township, Barton County, Missouri - with the value of the property shown as $6,400. Whether it was the Civil War or not, they came back to Clay County, Missouri where Wash bought land on 28 December 1865 (Book B, p. 131) and sold land on 26 September 1867 (Book 28, p. 138). They are not shown in Clay County in the 1870 Census, but they probably were there.

At some point the Spencer children enter the lives of Wash and Senith on a daily basis. On 24 October 1879 Gertie E. Spencer and James L. Donaldson, both of Clay County, were married at the residence of G. W. Faubion, Esq. In 1880 G. W. and Senith/Cenith were in Gallatin Township of Clay County, and living with them were G. W. Spencer and Green Spencer. George Washington Spencer, age 26, a Boarder, is shown as a farmer. Green Spencer, age 17, is shown as a farm hand and hired man. Gertie, G. W., and Green are believed to have been children of Asenith's brother. G. W. K. and Senith had no children of their own.

(Research on the family of Rev. James W. Faubion, brother of G. W.K., reveals Nathaniel Green, a son of James, lived with the couple for a brief time after his Mother died, but "ran away" because "Aunt Cenith" was harsh with him.) ed

It is interesting to note that G. W. K. Spencer sole 40 acres of land on 7 January 1882, and by that time he had a wife, Mattie B.

The Clay County Probate Court has an Estate Packet with a document declaring George W. K. Faubion to be a person of unsound mind, and it names administrator or "Guardians" for the Estate. It is dated 30 August 1885. The administrators took an inventory which showed that he had horses, farm equipment, wagon, etc., but there was no bed or household goods listed. Probably the bed and household goods were considered "dower rights" and belonged to Senith. There was no land mentioned, but there were several debts recorded.

The Missouri State Hospital in St. Joseph, Missouri found a record that he was admitted there, but the date was not recorded. Other records have been destroyed in a fire, and there is nothing else currently available to indicate diagnosis, treatment, or disposition. He probably died in the Institution, but no one knows when he died or where he was buried.

The 1900 Census shows Asenith Faubion living with George Washington Spencer and his family in Barton County, Missouri. 339,505
