Posted on: Whiteside Co. Illinois Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Whiteside/698 Surname: Wharfield, Smithers, Larion ------------------------- Hello, We are also researching the Wharfield Family. My Great Grandfather was George Wharfield born about 1856 who lived for a time in Lapeer County, MI and married a woman named Azubiah Smithers. I have not seen very many Wharfield surnames spelled this way so I wondered if there could be a link. I believe my George Wharfield was born in Michigan but not sure if his family came from Whitefield County, before that. I would appreciated any tips or suggestions you may have.

Looking for information on Emily Buckingham who was married to Jeremiah Bothwell in Clinton, IA, on March 29, 1873, about a year after Jeremiah divorced his first wife, Sarah, in Whiteside Co. Jeremiah lived in Garden Plain/Albany and apparently did a lot of trading in land starting as early as 1843, according to records in the Coounty Recorder's office in Morrison. The last land record we've been able to find with Jeremiah's name on it was a sale from him to William Bothwell for $2000 on Aug. 16, 1875 (book 77, page 377) in which Emily's name also is mentioned. There also is a record of a sale from Emily Bothwell, Eugene & Martha Buckingham of Clinton, and Ella and John Goffrey Stillwater of Washington Co., MN to Don G. Buckingham on Oct. 9, 1883 (book 165, page 128). After that, nothing. Could this Emily Buckingham have been the widow of Gilbert Buckingham? There's an entry in the statewide marriage index showing Emily Bowers married Gilbert Buckingham 27 Apr 1846 in Lee County, Illinois. Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated. Kearney Bothwell -- The truth is out there? Does anyone know the URL?

Looking for information on Marium or Marian or Mary Fralick, who married Jeremiah W. Bothwell on Oct. 5, 1871, in Clinton, IA. Jeremiah, who went by Jay, was born in Garden Plain or Albany in Whiteside Co. in 1851, worked at the Sterling Burial Case Company in Sterling and shows up in the 1860 and 1870 census in Garden Plain and in the 1880 census in Coloma, then disappears until he shows up in the 1910 census in Colorado. According to land records in the county recorders office in Morrison, Marian A. Bothwell is listed as the grantor on a sale of land Aug. 6, 1878 to Frank N. Wheeler for $200 (book 81, page 497) and to David Wolf on Oct. 2, 1882, for $1250 (book 102, page 351) Another land record listing a sale by Jeremiah Bothwell to David James on Sept. 14, 1882 (book 103, page 446) mentions both Jeremiah and Marion in he notes. The last record we see of either of them in Whiteside Co. is a release by Marian to David James dated July 16, 1885 for $1 (book 105 page 422). Any leads appreciated. Thanks. Kearney Bothwell -- I wonder how long I would be on hold if my call WASN'T important to them?

Hello Everyone, I am looking for a marriage record for Elizabeth Foster Marshall in Whiteside County. Elizabeth settled in Whiteside Co sometime after 1844 with her three sons, John, Thomas & Frank. They came from England some time after 1844 when Frank was born. According to Thomas' obit she came alone with the boys, her husband John Sr. must have died prior to their arrival. I can not find her on any of the census records as Elizabeth Marshall, which leads me to believe she must have remarried. Nor do I find her boys listed as Marshalls until I find John Jr. in 1860, but the other boys, Thomas and Frank, are nowhere to be found until 1870 when both have married local girls. All three boys served in the War in Illinois regiments. My guess is that she remarried and the boys were listed under their step-father's name. If anyone has ANY info that can help, I would be very grateful! Thanks so much! Alinda M. Miller
