Dear Joanie, In regards to Samson Hoxie, I have a marriage certificate dated Dec. 31, 1888 in Montana Territory, Lewis and Clark County in the City of Helena, in which a William Hoxie marries Mina Lundberg. Both the bride and groom are 23 years old. William Hoxie states that he was born in Canada and that his father is Samson Hoxie and his mother is Mary Jane Lovell. The name Samson Hoxie (with its various spellings) is so unique that after a couple of years of searching I have found very few leads. My family knows almost nothing about William Hoxie, if we asked the older Aunts and Uncles, they claimed not to remember, however, that was quite unlikely. The only evidence I have of William is that he is listed in the Helena City Directory, which were compiled around 1890. I have seen the name Alonson Hoxie, and have considered that. However, I think that Alonson may be too old. William was born in 1865 so his father was probably born in the 1820-30's. The Samson Hoxie that you see listed, is he on the same land that Alonson is residing? I really appreciate any ideas....leads that you could give.

The 1870 census age is in error for Martha's husband who was b.1812, Wood Dalling, Norfolk, England and would have been 58. His nephew, James also born Wood Dalling was about 27. By 1912 the younger James was living in Streator and had two children, Dr. Roy Sexton and Nellie (Mrs. Jay Arthur). [Source - History of Carroll County Iowa 1912 Volume II illustrated The S.J. Clarke Publishing Co Chicago pages 25,26,27] http://www.rootsweb.com/~iacarrol/bio_s.htm The three children with James and Elizabeth in 1850 - Elizabeth H. age 12, Eliza age 7 and John age 2 are a mystery at the moment. None of them appear with James and second wife in 1860. None appear in state wide marriage index in LaSalle and apparently none are buried at North Emery Green cemetery with the parents. James was without a wife from Elizabeth's sudden death in 1852 until 1858 when he remarried but Elizabeth H. was in her early teens, perhaps old enough to hold things together. Have checked with the other Rumble and Sexton families. No trace of these three children in any of their households.

George W. Dicus lived in Wenona for sometime, but after the civil war he moved to Streator. He is buried in Wenona. He did at the age of 70? I have many different years of birth on him, all are within 5 years of 1820. I will try to locate a phone number for the Wenona library. I didn't realize there was a library there, I visited his and my great-great grandmothers graves in August 2004. Thanks for the information, I will check into it. I don't think my George W. Dicus is related to the Dicus family you mentioned. My g-g- grandfather's parents died about 1810 in Ohio from during a cholera outbreak and they had come from Germany about 1810. This is from there son George W. Dicus II biography in "The Biographical Record of Ogle County, Illinois" book.
