Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RFB.2ACE/1797.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Tom: In most of the Census records Sarah responded that her mother was born in Virginia. She was not consistent in her responses to this question. In 1880 Anna Louise was living with the Nicholas SCHMUTZ family in Pekin (Tazwell) Illinois. They adopted her. Perhaps FLOWERS made it a condition of marriage to not take Sarah's MOORE children. Sarah's birth name was MILLER. Her response to being married twice should be correct based on the information I have so far. Since your tip about finding Sarah's brother in the 1860 Census, I reread her marriage cert to John FLOWERS. A Charles L. WOOD signed as witness. Sarah also named her only son Charles. Charles L WOOD also married John FLOWERS' sister. Apparently sibling sister and brother married sibling brother and sister.

By 1860 Sarah was living with Isiah Wood, age 65, in Morgan County, Illinois. I am searching for any information about her parents, neither of whom was with her in 1860. Sarah gave her father's birthplace variously as Michigan and Pennsylvania, most often Pennsylvania, for Census responses 1880-1930. Sarah gave her mother's birthplace variously as Michigan and Virginia, most often Virginia, for the Census responses 1880-1930. This is the only information I have about Sarah's parents.

Hi, I just wanted to clear a few things up. Lakeview High School is not in Leroy Twp., it was in Battle Creek Twp. Also I remember your Grandmother from VFW. She and my parents were friends. I am sorry to say I don't remember much about her as I was a kid, but I do remember the name. My Mom died in 1995, my Dad is still living but he is 95 yrs old and his memory is not real good.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can go to the library for me and look for a copy of my husband's grandmother who attended Lakeview High School in ?Leroy Twp? She was born 23 Nov. 1911 so she should be in the year book around 1928-1931 time frame. She was on the girls basketball team and was a cheerleader for the boys basketball team. So I am guessing there should be at leat 3 pictures of her in the yearbook. Her name was Marie Mable Hiscock. Thank you so much for your time and efforts in this matter.
