Posted on: Whiteside Co. Illinois Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Il/Whiteside/767 Surname: SPRINGSTEAD, WINSLOW, PETTIT, LLOYD ------------------------- I descend from Albina SPRINGSTEAD b 22 Feb 1862, d/o James and Harriett (WINSLOW) SPRINGSTEAD. >From Abina's obit, she was born in Tampico, although I believe the family probably resided in Whiteside County rather than Bureau County. Albina SPRINGSTEAD was the 3rd of 9 children born to this family. She had a sister who married ___ BAILEY; I believe the BAILEY family "might have" resided in Red Oak, Montgomery County, Iowa. In 1878, Albina removed from Illinois to Red Oak, Montgomery County, IA with her grandparents. In the 1880 census, I find Albina living in the household of Rufus WINSLOW. Was this Winslow family the household of her grandparents? Albina Springstead first married Amasa PETTIT 1880; secondly Owen LLOYD 1886. Looking for descendants of Albina's children from her first marriage: Emma PETTIT and James Edward PETTIT. In 1945, James Edward PETTIT was residing in Oakland, California. I have a lot of information to share. Look forward to hearing from you.
