Celeste bom in March 1853, and Eliza bom on January 1, 1857.
The elder Hines Krankey and his family can be found in the 1870 Hancock County census. It states he was a native of “Prussia,” was 56 years old (1814), with a wife, “Ellen,” age 40 (1830), who was bom in Ireland. The children listed were all bom in MS, and named as: Elizabeth 22, Henry 20, Lizzie 14, Willie 9, and Fannie 8.
The known children bom to Hines Krankey and Elizabeth Victorie LaFontaine were:
1.	Elizabeth Medard Krankey - she was bom on January 22, 1848, as found in OLG Church records. She married John T. Cooney on October 22, 1874, as found in the OLG records and had a family in Ansley, MS.
2.	Henry Hines Krankey - he was bom on December 15, 1850, and married Caroline Green as already covered.
3.	Celeste Krankey - she was bom on May 12, 1853, as found in the OLG Church records. None of the older family members had a memory of her, and she is presumed to have died as a child.
4.	Elisa “Lizzie” Krankey — she was bom on March 13, 1857, as found in the OLG records. She married Theodore Ploux (Ploue) on February 1, 1875, as found in the OLG records. She had a family in Ansley, MS.
It appears Hines Krankey’s first wife, Elizabeth V. LaFontaine, died, and he married “Ellen Karvy” on September 27, 1859, as found in the marriage records of OLG Church. Their marriage is also recorded in the Hancock County Courthouse as “Hines Krenker and Mrs. Ellen Colvey.” She is buried in Bayou Caddy Cemetery in south-west Hancock County, MS. The headstone reads “Ellen O’Brien, wife, native of Ireland” but no dates. She is buried next to the grave of “Henry H. Krankey, bom August
15,	1815, and died May 24, 1887.” These dates were taken from the old “Krankey Family Bible.” The Bible was last in the possession of his descendant, Dorothy L. “Dot” Dufau Clifford who lived in New Orleans, LA. Because Ellen used the name “Karvy and Mrs. Colvey,” and we know “O’Brien” was her maiden name, she was without doubt a widow at the time of her marriage to Krankey. Ellen’s granddaughter, Mrs. Lillian Green Sportono, daughter of Jesse Green, told us that her grandmother, Catherine O’Brien, wife of John Welch, was a sister to Ellen O’Brien. Ellen was bom in 1830 as found in the 1870 Hancock census.
The elder Hines Krankey’s full name seems to have been “Henry Hines Krankey,” but it seems he preferred to be called “Hines.” This Hines Krankey was baptized on March 29, 1873, at OLG Catholic Church, and the record says he was bom in 1815, the “son of Hines Krankey.” Hines received his First Communion at OLG on February 9, 1873, at the age of 58 years (1815).
Anyway, by this second marriage to Ellen O’Brien, Hines Krankey had two children. One was Fannie Krankey, bom 1862 as found in the
