I am searching for information having to do with the following: Hosea J. HATHAWAY b. Nov 1812 VT; d. 27 Aug 1877 m. Mariah L. b. 24 Oct 1815 VT; d. 4 Sep 1871 Children: 1. Julia HATHAWAY m. Stephen PARKHUSRT 2. Homer HATHAWAY b. 1854 IL 3. Gertrude Angelica HATHAWAY b. 4 May 1847 Oregon, Ogle Co., IL m. Norman Alexander WEBB 4 Nov 1872 Bozeman, Gallatin Co., MT d. 19 Jul 1931 Hailey, ID (bur. Meridian, Ada Co., ID) I have also seen the above Hosea listed as "Hiram". Gertrude (my g-g-grandmother) left her family (parents) and took out with the wagon train. She came west, working her way with a travelling family. She may have actually gone back and forth with the wagon trains a couple of times. One source has suggested that she may have been adopted by the HATHAWAYs. By looking at the births of her two sons, she also lived: 1881 Bozeman, Gallatin Co., MT 1889 St. Peters, Cascade Co., MT Any information or contacts of persons researching the same would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and take care! -- Amelia Reimer-Davisson
