I am searching for anyone with information on the following families that lived in Prophetstown, Whiteside Co: Enoch I. Conner, married to Laura Edestine Reynolds. Married 1856, had a son Charles Wesley Conner. Enoch leaves the scene but I cannot find out if they were divorced or if he died. Laura remarried a Nathaniel Stiles from PA. I don't have any information as to when they got married. I assume they got married in PA as I find that a few of their children were born in PA. Found that information on a Census. But I also have question as to if the first couple of kids listed are hers, or was this a second marriage for him too.? I have lots of information on the Charles George family if anyone is interested in that. Abigail D. Eastman married to Charles George I have very little information about her. Other than her death in Prophetstown and marriage to Charles. They had several children.

I have a copy of a 1921 Mensch genealogy with several generations of Mensch's including most of the known PA Menschs, starting with John Nicholas Mensch, b.1712, who sailed to America from Rotterdam on the ship ST.MARK. I also have an updated version that includes as many as we could locate (as of 1986) descendents of William and Anna C. Mensch. I would be happy to trade information.

My cousin and I are researching the Mensch line from PA.We do have a John Christian-son of John Nicolaus in our info.You can contact me with questions and see if we can share info.

Evening. I'm not a Matteson-Wright desc. A friend is. He is descended from the Wrights into Schoharie and Otsego Co.and the Mattesons from Otsego Co. I also have a clients who are Wright descendants-Schenectady Co. and one with ancestors of Greene Co., and shortly in Schoharie co. Interesting huh? Tell me what you have in a synopsis and I'll see where there may be a link.

The names of Wright-MacDonald-Smith and the path from NY to ILL run in my tree also. Do you have family tree members in Schenectady Co. Schoharie Co. ?

I believe that this durr is german and that they settled in the tunnelton, or elkins, w .va area the oldest name I have is george durr the boys were edward, harvey, and vernon, all born around 1880

I found one article in the Tampico Tornado newspaper: April 8, 1899 There was a double wedding in Hume last Thursday and the contracting partners were Elmer DENISON and Miss Jessie DELP as the first pair, and second Remeo RINKER and Miss Jennie DENISON. Both ceremonies were performed by Rev. W.B. PIERCE, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R.B. DENISON, the parents of one of the grooms and one of the brides. The young couples will live on a farm near Erie. And one John SYNDER article: April 9, 1892 John SNYDER of the freight conductors on the Mendota and Clinton lines suffered an accident resulting in death, at Denrock, Wednesday night. His train was "cut" in two and he was assisting in the switching and while the cars were backing up he attempted to climb up to set the brake on the rear car when one of the rods broke, throwing him upon the rails and eleven cars passed over him. He was the adopted son of Aaron POPE, of Hume. The deceased leaves a wife and two children to mourn his untimely death. The remains were taken to Mendota for burial. Let me know if this helps.

My Durr ancestors are from Co. Roscommon, Ireland. We think they emigrated first to Wisconsin before settling in northern Illinois. Durr (with an umlaut) is also a German surname, so I'm not sure if this is even the same family. I should be receiving some information from the genealogical society in Lee Co., IL soon, so will post that information. If you are indeed looking for the Irish Durr name, I'll let you know if I find a connection with your information. I know how frustrating the search can be.

Hi Sheila, Sorry to have been so late in responding to your query on Rootsweb. We had our three grand kids for the summer, WHEW!!! I know why young folks are the ones to give birth. Ha Ha! My immigrant FRANK ancestor; Christian Michael FRANK, 1865-1946, had no child named Arthur. I don't know the name of any of his nephews, as he did have two brothers, however, who came to America; Fred and Jacob. All I can tell you about them is they were all from Baden-Württemberg, children of Phillip Michael Jacob FRANK and Elizabethe Christiane Bauer, m. 30 Jun 1864. Re: FHL films for, Öberamt Öhringen, Michaelbach am Wald Parish These were very hard to read, and I was thankful that there were German speaking research aids on hand to help, at the SL Family Hist. Library. My great-grandparents first settled near Coleta, Whiteside Co., IL. and worked for Christina's uncle, Adam Horlacher, on his farm there. During my last trip to the Whiteside Co. court house in Morrison IL. I copied FRANK names from the document lists there and found the following; Marriage Cert. # 9150, Date 2-20-1895 for Jacob FRANK and Lizzie RUCK and 10,969, 10-02-1901 Jacob FRANK & Barbara KLINE and Birth Cert., #10,626, 02-12-1904 to William T. & Elsie Rose Marine; a son; Arthur, John FRANK I also recommend the Secy. of State. of IL State sites below, where the above may appear.. For marriages; http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/cgi-bin/archives/marriage.s For some births; http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/carroll.html And from the Carroll Co. Gene. Soc. Web site; http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haliotis/marriages.htm http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haliotis/funerals.htm http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haliotis/bapte-g.htm http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haliotis/hbaptismsa-f.htm http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haliotis/hfunerals.htm http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haliotis/hfunerals3.htm http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~haliotis/hbaptismsa-f3.htm I hope I have provided some clues. Let me know if you find a connection to the above Jacob or Fred FRANK. Cheers, Jim

Would like some information on Oakridge Cemetery in Westchester, Illinois. Has this cemetery changed names or incorporated with a larger firm? I have not been able to find an address or a listing for this cemetery online or anywhere else. My father was buried there in 1954 and I have never been to his grave site. The funeral director was Hallowell & James. Would appreciate any information. Thanks, Bonnie

Looking for information on Frank and Anna Engle residing in Hopkins during the 1880 census

Marsha, Here is some HUGHES/BREWER information from the Tampico Tornado Newspaper: September 12, 1891 MARRIED SIPPEL-HUGHES - At the residence of Mason BREWER, on Wednesday evening, Sept. 9th, 1891, by Rev. Chas. T. ROE, Mr. Chas. F. SIPPEL and Miss Susie HUGHES, both of this city. Gifts [listed in notice, given by] Mr. and Mrs. John SIPPEL, Mrs. Henry SANDS, Mr. and Mrs. M.H. BREWER, Mr. and Mrs. J.C. REEVES, Mrs. C.H. BREWER, George SIPPLE, Mr. and Mrs. A.S. BREWER, Mr. and Mrs. E.D. McCLURE, Miss Clara BREWER, Misses Minnie and Lena SIPPEL, Mrs. Mary OSBORN, Willie SIPPLE, Myron HUGHES. April 23, 1892 Mrs. Grant HUGHES, who has been visiting with Mr. and Mrs. C.F. SIPPLE of this place for the past few months, took the morning passenger and started for Oklahoma this week, to which place her husband preceded her several weeks. December 5, 1896 Mrs. Henry ASHPOLE, of Clinton, Ia., who has been visiting her mother, Mrs. M.H. BREWER for the past two weeks, returned home Wednesday. April 19, 1900 Mrs. Chas F. SIPPEL was called to Clinton, Ia., Thursday, owing to the serious illness of her sister, Mrs. Mary OSBURN. Mrs. SIPPEL was accompanied by Mr. Grand HUGHES, and the Mesdames E.D. McCLURE and M.H. BREWER at last report her recovery was very doubtful. October 11, 1902 W.J. HUGHES of Naper, Nebr., is visiting his brother here, Grant HUGHES. January 17, 1903 A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Grant HUGHES Monday night. As Grant has four boys the advent of a girl gives him good reason to feel elated and smile broadly. June 20, 1903 Mr. and Mrs. F.A. BREWER have moved to Mr. BREWER's father's farm just east of Tampico, where they will make their home for the present. August 15, 1903 Mrs. F.A. BREWER and Miss Clara BREWER entertained their Sunday school classes of boys and girls at the BREWER farm east of here Thursday evening. November 13, 1903 James BRACE and family of Waterloo, Iowa, stopped off here to visit Mrs. BRACE's relatives, the McCLURES', SIPPLE's and HUGHES'. They are enroute to Mississippi where Mr. BRACE has bought an eighty acre farm. Please let me know if these are matches to your family, or help you.
