Descendants of Minerva Cramer Generation No. 1 1. MINERVA1 CRAMER was born 1837 in Illinois, USA, and died Unknown. She married WILLIAM LANE October 07, 1861 in Vermilion Co, IL. He was born Abt. 1840 in North Carolina, and died Unknown. Notes for MINERVA CRAMER: Trying to piece together this woman and just found some bits and pieces. Here is what I have- Minerva Wood born about 1838 IL Minerva Wood marries 1858 to Zachariah Connell. Minerva has daughter, Catherine Connell in Jan 1860. Zachariah Connell dies in June 1860. Minerva Connell marries 1861 to William Lane. Minerva has 5 children from 1863-1869. William Lane dies in 1882. Minerva Lane marries Jacob Clem in 1883. Questions- Who are her parents? I'm assuming her maiden name is Wood and that she wasn't married prior to 1858. Also when/where did she die/buried. I'm assuming her name was Minerva Clem from 1883 on.
