The children of Isaac and Nancy:
Margarite House Hildebrand (mother of Elizabeth; Abraham m: Bassheba wilson; Isaac; Michael; Charles, John A, Katherine, David, Mary, & Margaret) married second, Michael Null, who is mention in the deed above. Also of note, one of Margarite's daughters was married to Hamilton Williams who purchased property from some of Nancy's brothers and sisters (their portion of their father's estate in 1845 in Jefferson Co, Missouri.
Isaac and Nancy were listed in the 1830 census of Jefferson Co., Merimac Township as follows:
Helterbran, Isaac 1m<5; 1m20-30; 1f<5; 1f20-30
This fits the estimate of Isaac's birthdate of c1806. It establishes Nancy's birth year at 1800-1810. If fits the birthdate of James D of 1829 and it alludes to a female born 1825-1830.
Book C Jefferson County, MO deeds pg 185: Land sold for auction --non-resident, non payment of taxes. Assessed to Isaac Hildebrand heirs in Twp. 42 & 43, Range 3 & 4. Owed $. 212 acres taxed in 1828. William Russell purchased this tract and 3 others for $30.51. Total of 2,500 acres in 1830. This could be explained by the fact that 'The State of Missouri' was the Plaintiff in action against Isaac Helterbrand in Bk 5, pg 711, paper #3186. This probably means that Isaac was 'sent away' and his family was having to make their own way and were unable to pay their taxes. It might explain why Isaac could not be located as a head of household during the 1840 census period.

Recorded 28th October 1835 Archibald Gamble, Recorder
On the 1840 census of St Lewis Co, Missouri, Merrimack Township, Issac's family appeared as follows:
Hildebrand, Isaac 1m<5; 1m5-10; 1m10-15; 1m20-30; 1f<5; 1f5-10; 1f15-20; 1f30-40
This family enumerated on page 261. Neighbors included John Votaw, M Sledd, Mrs M Smith, James Roberts, John Jeminson, Joseph Potterfield, Jacob Pyatt, William Inks, John Pyatt, Willson Sledd, Jefferson May, E Inks and Robert Patten.
Land was put up for public auction due to non payment of taxes in 1830 listed as belonging to "the heirs of Isaac Hildebrand".
We know that Isaac (husband of Nancy) died before 1845 when Nancy Hildebrand, widow, sold her share of her father's property in Jefferson Co, MO. This deed also claimed that all of the parties lived in St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve or Jefferson Counties in Missouri. If anyone has abstracted this family, please let me know.
Isaac and Nancy's daughter, Olive Hildebrand, was living in the household of Nancy's brother, William Peyatt on the 1850 census of Jefferson County, Missouri. Also, their son, Isaac III, was living with David B Null and family in District 42 of Jefferson County, Missouri (near sister Olive who lived with William Pyeatt). David Null was born c1825 and his wife/sister Nancy Null was born c1820. Others in that household were Sarilda J Null born 1844; Mileta C Null born 1846; Silas M Null born 1848 and Lorcuzo Null born c1850. Where were the other members of Nancy and Isaac's family?
There is a record of a Nancy Hildebrand who married Wm. H. Eagleson 5 Feb 1852 in St. Louis, St. Louis County, Missouri, who might be the same Nancy, widow of Isaac. The question here is, where was Nancy during the 1850 census? I do not locate her in Jefferson County, Missouri, although, it is more possible that she was living in St. Louis County at that time. In 1845 the children of John Piatt were all said to be living in Ste Genevieve, Jefferson or St Louis Counties. Nancy is the only one that I have even suspected might have lived in St Louis County. I searched for an Eagleson family on the 1850, 1860 and 1870 census of Missouri with no families of that name found. According to IGI records, there was a Nancy A Hildebrand b: 1806 in St Louis and was daughter of Christian Terwalt Hildebrand and Mary M Martin. She could be this Nancy who married William Eagleson.
I searched the 1880 census at familysearch.org for any female named Nancy born 1806 (+-5 years) in Missouri and searched only in the state of Missouri. I looked at the counties where these ladies lived and at the households in St Louis and other 'related' counties with no family connections or other possible matches found. I searched for James Hildebrand (any spelling) born in Missouri and searched the entire US with no matches found. I also searched with no last name and a birth year of 1829 (+-2 years) with nothing resembling 'Hildebrand' in the 400 matches. I searched the state of Missouri for any Margaret born 1832 (+-2 years) in Missouri. There were more than 200 matches which I did not look into further. I searched in Missouri for any 'Olive' born in 1837 (+-2 years) in Missouri. There were 12 matches - one was an Olivia Woodruff in St Louis, MO, born 1839 whose parents were born in MO. All others were in counties unknown to me or whose parents were born in the wrong place. I searched for Issac Hildebrand born in Missouri in 1839 (+-10 years). I searched the US with no matches found.
There is a marriage record in Jefferson County for an Isaac Hildebrand who married Miss Mathiah Wilson 6 Dec 1857. This Isaac would probably have been born ca 1837 or earlier. This is said to be the son of Isaac and Nancy. I find in St Louis archive records C 10366 (vol L RDSL8 307) an Isaac Hildebrand who died April 14, 1865, pg 74 Holy Ghost. Is this the son of Nancy and Isaac who was said to have died by 1867?
