This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: DIAL, HUBER, HESKER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Rh.2ADE/411 Message Board Post: I am currently researching two Louisa Dials. One born abt 1841 the daughter of Isaac & Catharine Dial the other born abt 1845 the daughter of John and Martha Dial. WHICH Louisa was the mother of George Dial born in 1863? WHICH Louisa Dial married Philip Huber 25 January 1866 in St. Clair County Illinois? Philip Huber died abt 1876 and left his wife and 3 children: Louis, Anna and Ida. Did Louisa then marry Nicholas Thomas on 22 Feb 1877 in St. Clair County? In the obituary of Louis there is mention of his brother George Dial. In George's obituary, his half sister Annie Butler is mentioned. This would lead me to believe that George was this Louisa's son. WHICH Louisa Dial married John W. Hesker on 23 June 1864? John died in 1878 and his obituary states he left a wife and 3 children. I then find that a MRS LOUISA HESKER married Moses A. Brown on 4 April 1883 in Perry County, Ill. Was she the widow of John? Before I can go further on the line I am researching(that of Louisa Dial and Philip Huber)I need to know for certain who Louisa's parents were (either Isaac & Catherine Dial or John & Martha Dial). I really would appreciate some help on this one. Thanks!
