Reba, I think this is the family you are looking for. Appears daughter Gladys G.'s surname was Brown per enumerator's dash lines, but Edith and (Dayton?) BROWN have only been m. 2 years. See what you think. 1900 Jackson Co MO, Kansas City, Ward 8, ED 82, sheet 7A, Family #98-151, residing at 1023 E. 12th Street (on Census Roll T623-863) BROWN, (Dayton??), head, b.

Thanks for your research. This is so close it is eerie. I know how the census gets things confused. I think people back then got confused as to their births etc. All of the birthplaces match ie parents and kids. According to 1870 and 1880 census for Johnson Co KS. She was b 1865, Husband David A Greever was murdered in KS in 1890. So that would explain the child Gladys as her father. David was b in TN. David was murdered for making advances to another man's wife. I have Kitty b in 1869. She signed her father's death certificate from KS in Nov of 1916. And was single. Jennie (1873) must have later married a Henry S Riddle because they signed papers in 1918 when they sold her father's property in Kansas. I found a Jennie in Ca and when she died and have ordered her death certificate. Claudia - age matches - except the 1880 census has her as a boy. She was married to a Frank Weller in 1918. I probably told you much more than u wanted to know but you are right this just must be the family. In 1887 their father Benjamin Harrison Johnson moved to Greenwood Co Kansas. His wife was Eunice. in 1900 he was widowed. Wonder where Claudia was then? Just love genealogy. Thanks again Reba Now maybe I can find some marriages. ----- Original Message ----- From: "roger.joyce lawrence" <rjl@fone.net> To: <KansasCity-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 12:18 PM Subject: Re: [KansasCity] edith greever > Reba, > I think this is the family you are looking for.
