Genevieve, Missouri. She and her sister, Louisa Goss were somehow left to live with a couple who moved to Washington County Iowa...a Harris (Horace?) and Jane Wilson. We have no idea if these Wilson's were in any way related or how they ended up with these little girls. The two girls grew up in Washington County. Mary married Perrin Squire and Lousia married George Tipton. Louisa and George moved to Ottawa, Kansas. Mary and Louisa had MANY siblings who mostly moved to Louisiana. The family always knew about these girls but never really knew what became of them. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: rasonnier Surnames: Goss, Squire Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.iowa.counties.washington/1179/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am researching the family of Perrin Squire and Mary Goss who lived in Lime Creek, Washington County, Iowa. I'm particulary hoping that someone may be willing to check for an obituary both of them. Perrin Squire was born 2 May 1836 in Ohio and died 20 August 1915 in Lime Creek. He is buried in the Wellman Cemetery. Mary Goss Squire was born 15 August 1838 in Missouri and died 23 March 1921 in Lime Creek. She is also buried in The Wellman Cemetery. I am trying to trace thier children, especially their daughter Lucy Squire who I suspect married J.W. Jenkins in 1884. Their children were: Melvin b. May 1859 married Jennie Huffman Lucy b. ca 1861 possibly married J.W. Jenkins Henry b. 1868 m. Grace Bewsaugh in 1922 Edgar b. Feb 1870 and never married. Thanks! R. A.
