Hello All: I had ancestors who lived in Henry County and, I believe, were divorced about 1870 - could someone tell me where those divorce records might be - at the city/county/state level? Thank you - Ahlive

I'm searching for information on a John GARRETT who married Charity LIVINGSTON in Henry County in 1851. Cannot locate parents or dates of birth or death on either one of them so any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thank Patti

Hello, Listed below are answers to questions asked. NAME: Donald Richard Wilson EMAIL: [email protected] BRICK WALL - Eldest Wilson Ancestor NAME: Frank Wilson, b.1847, possibably in New Hampshire DATE: 1870 Census LOCATION: Geneseo, IL MARRIED: Aletha J. Sheriff, July 26, 1871 in Geneseo Thank you very much, Don Wilson

Yes it does still exist. It is on the Mississippi River in Mercer County. Look at your map and you should see it between Muscatine and Burlington, Iowa. Just a point of reference for you. It isn't very big. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Wilson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2000 6:48 PM Subject: [ILHENRY-L] NEW BOSTON, IL > Hi, > > Does anyone know where New Boston, Il is??

He was hired to do the brickwork on the home of Patrick Neville in Henry Cty, IL in 1848. He was also a farmer as well as a pioneer in that area.

Here's a website for New Boston and New Boston Township that may be of interest. Keep in mind this is in Mercer County, IL. Mercer Co. adjoins Henry County's western edge as does Rock Island Co..

New Boston is in Mercer county, the next county to the west. New Boston is still there and lies directly on the Mississippi River.

Julie here...not Susie.....I noticed your post and decided to check my index for Samuel's location...he was not in Henry Co, in 1860..... In 1860, Samuel Sheriff was in Mercer Co, New Boston, page 915. I don't have listings available...sorry..but maybe you can find somebody with an 1860 Mercer Co census Julie Bissell Tupker

Hi Susie, Would you do a lookup in subject census and see what you can find for a Samuel Sheriff. Thanks alot, Don

Thank you to those who stopped by the Kaiser/Keiser and Albright/Albrecht Open House last Sunday. WOW! What a nice turn out. Over 40 people came and a few of them came because of this site! So thanks Rootsweb.com!!! Many photographs were shared and faces and names put together. It was impossible to visit with each and every person on a real individual basis like we would have liked to do, but it seemed like everyone was having a good time. Yes, the library is in a temporary location, but they had everything we needed in Kewanee.... (except air-conditioning) Our trip to the Court House in Cambridge was rewarding also. The people of Kewanee are incredibly welcoming and accomodating, and it was fun to meet relation. We were invited to their homes for dinner on 2 occasions and they say they will come visit us! Great time had by all! If anyone is interested in our lineage of the: Kaiser/Keisers or the Albright/Albrecht please let us know. Thanks!

Can someone help me with this information, please and thank you. My mother, Dorothy WISSER MACK was fostered out to the LEMPKE family in Kewanee during the late 30's & early 40's. Her foster parents passed away and her foster sister and husband, Velma & Everett KRAUSE took over raising her until 1943ish. They lived on and worked a farm in Kewanee. I've many fond memories of that farm and Everett & Velma. After my mother passed away, I lost contact with Velma. I have no idea if she is still living or not; she'd be in her 80's or more I suspect. I would dearly love to find out about these families or even better find Velma and spend time with her [Everett has passed away]. Thanks in advance for your input and time.

This is your listowner folks...right now I am in Moline but by about 1 tomorrow afternoon will be in Cambridge (Friday) rummaging the courthouse in Henry Co for scraps of my ancestors along with my cuz and fellow listmember Tracy. Saturday we will be hitting the library (or what it being USED as the library while the real one is being renovated)in Kewanee...can't give you all an exact time we will be at said library but if any of you are interested in joining us down at the Kewanee library that's where I will be. After my brief visit to Henry Co I will be heading back to FL. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!
