My thanks to Lori & Erma for the info on the Samuel Banks family. His wife Mary (Rader) Banks would not be the Mary I'm looking for. My gg-grandfather, Elijah Holden, died in 1897 in Decatur Co. and his obit says that he had a daughter living in Beloit so I just did a line by line search of the 1900 census looking for any Mary/Marian (b. 1846 PA) or Lucretia (b. 1854 WI). These were the only daughters possibly still alive at the time & Mary (actually Marian) was the most likely of the two. Mary Banks and the following Mary Gaylord were the only real possibilities I found in that census: Gaylord, Isaac, b. 9/1839 in OH, Farmer Gaylord, Mary C., b. 2/1846 in PA Gaylord, Grace B., b. 11/1875 in WI Gaylord, Louise M., b. 8/1878 in WI Gaylord, Isabell P., 11/1881 in KS Gaylord, Louis B., b. 5/1845 in OH, brother, cigar mfg. Does anyone have info on these folks?? My next project is to look at the 1900 census for Beloit Twp.! Once again thank you so much for your help! Sally Holden Dyson longtalsally@home.com
