Surnames: Besser/Curtis Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RdD.2ACEB/50 Message Board Post: My g-grandmother was Charlotte Besser, born June 13, 1858 in Indiana, she married Benjamin (Frank) Curtis on Sept. 3, 1877 in Delaware County, Indiana. She died Dec. 12, 1901 and is buried in Jones Cem., Delaware County, Ind. According to the 1880 census her father was born in NJ. The only Besser listed in the 1870 census is Christian Besser born 1824 in NJ. I think Christian in Charlotte's father but I have no proof at this time. The only other Bessers I have found in Delaware Co. are Frederick F. Besser, born 1851, died Aug. 19, 1920, his wife Rebecca A., born 1848 and died 1920 and Floyd E. Besser, born in 1893, died in 1965 and his wife Hazel L. born in 1901. I am looking for any information I can get on this Besser family. Thank you

Hi, My husband is a Besser and his father grew up in Keystone and all of their relatives are buried in Sinnett Cemetery. I would have to research, but I believe Alice may be from the Thomas and Daisy Besser line. My husband is from Thomas's brother's line. I'm right in the middle of making quilts for Christmas so it may be awhile before I can look at this. Feel free to email me if you have any other info. Thanks, Cheryl Besser Claremore, OK

I forgot to add that Henry and Sarah lived in North Eastern Indiana for at least 30 years and that is where they died. Two of their sons fought in the Civil War, one did not marry. I am also looking for one of their daughters. She married Thomas Eddingfield in 1868 in Wells County Indiana, divorced after 1882, then disappeared. On one of her son's marriage applications, it shows her as being dead, not sure if it was sour grapes or the truth. Elena --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I am sure that your Bessers and mine are not connected. Mine were from Germany and ended up in the north central states. Good luck!
