I am looking for information on Johann Hienrich APPEL also known as John Henry APPEL his last name also known as APPLE. Talk about a man using aliases'. I have found him in the 1860 census living in Macoupin county. He was 51 at the time with a lovely wife and seven children. I have from my records that he was buried in either Brighton or Fosterburgn next to his two former wives. The first one was Lucretia McCANN and, acording to the census, the other was listed as Mary. I also have read tales in some of my old manuscripts that he had a third, Christian LEHR. Anyway, does anyone out there recognize these names? I do not know anything on them, any of them, past this. I would really like to know where they are all buried at, or, even better, what there birth dates and death dates are. Has anyone seen these headstones in a cemetery? Another strange thing. The census has them living in South Palmyra township, and their postal address is Brighton. Things that make you go hhhhmmmm! I would believe the Brighton area thing more than the Palmyra thing, mainly because many of his documents, in later life, mention Fosterburg, and, he was a rather large farmer and I can't see him up and moving accross an entire county. If anyone has an answer for these question, or even a clue for me, please let me know. Thank you! bbs@midkan.net from the Jayhawk state, Adam Appel
