Carolyn, I don't think so. Herman was Reinhold's son, not brother. (That is, Herman was my great-uncle, the brother of William Frederick.) Herman was born in New York, according to the 1880 census, assuming that's accurate. I know he died around 1888, at the age of around 17 or 18. Thanks, though. It was worth a try.

His parents were Reinhold Mueller and Luise Behr. Luise had siblings in Quincy or Bloomington, but I don't know much about Reinhold. She died in 1881. He had an older brother, Herman, who died when he was 18. He had four children: Gustav, Louisa (my grandmother), Henry, and Lincoln. Would appreciate any leads. Thanks. Jose Reyes

Denise, Thanks so much for responding. The Reinhold Mueller in the Quincy Directory is my great-great-grandfather. But the one in the 1870 census probably isn't the same guy. Rather, my great-great-grandfather appears in the 1880 census as Reinhardt Miller. I know he came to Quincy from Syracuse, NY (I don't know yet when), and winds up back in Syracuse sometime between 1880 and 1896 (my guess is around the mid 1880s, based on the 1900 census, which indicates he remarried around 1885), but that's what I'm trying to figure out. Thanks again! Jose [email protected] wrote: Jose, I found a listing for Reinhold Mueller in the Quincy City Directory. He listed his profession as a travelling salesman and gives his street address.

Also, Augustus went at age two to Morgan County, Ohio, to live with Abner’s brother, while Abner remained in Quincy where he died 21 Jan 1874 and was buried in Rockland Cemetery (Is there a list of burials in this cemetery that might include Sally Ann and daughter?).

Are any of you researching the GARBRECHT's of Adams Co., IL? My gg grandfather's sister, Catherine E. Whittaken, married a Garbrecht and had 3 children. Catherine and her children, August (b: 1851-1852), Anna (b: abt 1856), and Henry (b: abt 1859), were living with her parents in Burton, Adams Co., IL on 6/7/1860 when the 1860 census was enumerated. She was listed as married but her husband was not living with them at the time. Her surname on the census was spelled either GARBATH or GARBALT. Other various spelling that I've found are Garbatt\Garbrecht\Galbrecht\Garbrech. Catherine married Herman Miller in 1865. I found them on the 1870 census still living in Burton. Her youngest, Henry, child was living with them and has taken the name of Miller. August Garbrecht was living with his uncle William Dickhut & aunt Caroline (Garbrecht) Dickhut in Ellington, Adams Co., IL during the enumeration of the 1870 census. I'm not sure where Anna was living in 1870 but in 1880 she was listed as Anna Garbrech and was living with her aunt, Anna Naylor's family in Columbus Twp., Adams Co., IL. I am looking for the name of the husband and any information you may have about him and the 3 children. Thank you, Carolyn Menges
