I checked MN death, birth, marriage records, but couldn't match up anyone for sure. I searched sons George, William & Ephraim in the US 1900 Census, but was unable to connect with this family for sure. Good luck. 1860 > WISCONSIN > ADAMS > SPRINGVILLE Series: M653 Roll: 1399 Page: 131 Surname GivenName Age Sex Race Birthplace State County Location Year JAMES GEORGE 35 M W IREL WI ADAMS SPRINGVILLE 1860 [George is farmer, farm valued a t $1,000, personal estate $200, illiterate] Johanna 30 f W Ireland [illiterate] John 13 m w New Brunswick attended school] Hannah 12 f w New Brunswick [attended school] George 8 m w Wisconsin[attended school] Mary Ann 5 f w Wisconsin [attended school] Frances E 3 f w Wisconsin Margaret 5 f w Wisconsin [attended school] Elizabeth F 4 f w Wisconsin Samuel 1/12 [July 1860]m w Wisconsin Hannah 62 f w Ireland [died Aug 2, 1860] =========================================================== 1870 > MINNESOTA > BLUE EARTH > MAPLETON Series: T132 Roll: 1 Page: 611 Surname GivenName Age Sex Race Birthplace State County Location Year JAMES GEORGE 50 M W IREL MN BLUE EARTH MAPLETON 1870 [George is a naturalized citizen in 1870, farmer, both parents foreign born] Johanna 40 f W Ireland keeping house [both parents foreign born] George 17 m w Wisconsin farming Mary Ann 15 f w Wisconsin house keeping F E 13 f w Wisconsin Samuel 10 m w Wisconsin ??
