Hello List, I am researching the Fernando DeCello DEWITT branch of my DEWITT lineage. According to other researchers Fernando's wife Sarah Ellen WILSON DEWITT died Dec. 25, 1898 in Hardy, Sharp County, Arkansas, but I've not found anyone who has proof. Fernando was living, by himself, in North Township, Sharp County, Arkansas in 1880 census, but supposedly died in 1922 in Savannah, Andrew County, Missouri. Can some one on this list provide proof? Sarah was believed to have been born Jan. 26, 1851, in Cooperstown, Brown County, Illinois. Unknown who her parents were. Does any one know who her parents were? Fernando & Sarah married April 26, 1868 in Mt Sterling, Brown County, Illinois. They were believed to have the following children: William Ezra DEWITT b. abt 1870 (believed never married) Ellmore Elsworths b. abt. 1878 (believed married Birdie Lena WHEELER) Mildred May b. abt. 1875 (believed married Charlie COWAN & George HAMLIN) John Jay b. abt 1879 (believed married Lana Fern HOLLINGSHEAD) Harriet Daisy b. 1881 (believed married Lewis DALGREN) Ethan Allen b. abt 1883 (believed married Louella Harriet VINCENT) James Taylor abt 1887 (believed married Mary Lou WHEELER) Thank you for your time & help, Judi from Illinois
