As I understand it, phonetics were "in" before Webster's Standardized, only--one--way--to--do--it, Dictionary spoiled the individual's ear for the way to spell the names of most people. I participated in spelling bees and I liked them, because it gave me a sense of being perfect. B-U-T, since I really DO NOT know, I can only bet that you can just about adopt any spelling of Kenceleur's name and have the approval of someone! William is the only "Kenceleur" I have ever found along the Missouri river country.--Walter

Hi ! Walter Farwell & List. I have a puzzle. Solomon Irwin was a resident of Fremont County, Iowa. His wife Lucy Adams died there in 1881. He is shown on the 1880 census with another wife Elizabeth Ross whom he married Oct. 26, 1872 at Fremont. Solomon made a will out in 1894 witnessed by Hannah Irwin, his Stepmother, at Fremont. The puzzle is, is that I can find no record of his death anywhere. I realize he could have left Fremont, but just maybe you have something in your data base files.
