Great job Karen and Jim. Thanks for all of your hard work. **************Get the Moviefone Toolbar. Showtimes, theaters, movie news & more!(http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100000075x1212774565x1200812037/aol?redir=htt p://toolbar.aol.com/moviefone/download.html?ncid=emlcntusdown00000001)

We've got 55,652 marriage entries now on the web site. The marriages listed are taken from Douglas county marriage licenses and are listed by both bride and groom. There may have been alternate spellings given in the license & application, so unless we can figure out which one is correct, they are in by the several spellings. The anniversary page is also growing slowly, with over 40 milestone anniversaries listed. Many have pictures of the couple when you look at the newspaper that the entry was taken from, although not all do. Most of the anniversaries are 25 years or over. _www.omahamarriages.wordpress.com_ (http://www.omahamarriages.wordpress.com) . And while you're out cruising the 'net, we added another 2,000+ obits this weekend as well. _www.omahaobits.wordpress.com_ (http://www.omahaobits.wordpress.com) The criteria for going on the obit web site; appeared in an Omaha paper, either lived here at the time of death or previously, or have an obvious Omaha connection (such as the woman in NY whose son was an early Omaha mover & shaker, but she died in NY)--or died within about an hour to an hour and a half drive of Omaha (in any direction) and appeared in our papers. In the early years, we take ANY newspaper item that indicates someone died, because there may not be an actual obit, or a death certificate at the courthouse, and you only know they disappeared from the census. Right or wrong, if you don't have a death date, we figure that something is better than nothing. Happy hunting. Karen PS: Thanks to Jim from GO-PAF who spent 3 1/2 hours this weekend and reversed about three thousand marriages for me so that they appear by both bride and groom in the marriage index. Willing volunteers are critical to keep this work moving along. **************Get the Moviefone Toolbar.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: jclemans Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.nebraska.counties.douglas/122.1.1.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Thank you for your reply. We have no question that your dates of birth and death for David are correct as they match well with our research. We question however David's birthplace as being in Fairfield County, Iowa rather than Appanoose County, Iowa as multiple documents would suggest. Our premise of David's birth in Union Township, Appanoose(a)County, Iowa comes from his father and grandfathers locations in 1850, 1852, 1856 and 1860 Federal & State Censuses, land & marriage records. David's Father & grandfather, Silas & William Kent came from Union County, Ohio, through Sangamon County, Illinois. William's daughter Lucinda married Elias Spicer in Sangamon County, Illinois also in 1847 and remained there. William's oldest son Alexander enlisted in the Military, fought and died in the Mexican/Spanish War and as a result provided a land grand in 1848 for his father William as his heir which he collected in Illinois and utilized in Iowa. William Kent purchased land in Fairfield County, Iowa, while listed as living in Monroe County, Iowa, then multiple land purchases in Appanoose County, Iowa from 1850-1868 where he continued to live until his death. Sources: Land Record: U.S., Iowa, Fairfield, Land Warrant of William Kent, National Archives, Commissioner of Pensions, Record Group 49, Bureau of Land Management, surrendered bounty land file, Stack area 13W3, Row 5, Compartment 19, Shelf 5, Box 239, #16560 Alexander Kent bounty land.

Furthermore: Land Record: U.S., Illinois, Sangamon County, from the National Archives, Commissioner of Pensions, #16560-160-1947, Record Group 15, Veterans Administration, unindexed bounty land file, Stack area 7E2, Row 7, Compartment 9 Shelf 2 23243, William Kent father and heir at law of Alexander Kent, dec'd per Leit. Campbell, Company D, 4th Illinois Volunteers. for 160 acres issed May 25, 1848, Z.A. Enos, Springfield, Illinois, registered Vol 34, page 158 William Kent appeared to get land, 9th section, declared that Alexander Kent (now deceased) regularly mustered into service as private Company D, 4th Illinois Volunteers Regiment, marched to seat of war , to wit, Mexico, served in war with Mexico until disbanding and mustering out with company and regiment, honorably discharged, 11 June 1847, Sangamon County, Illinois, Alexander has died leaving no widow or children, and affiant is the father. His mark, William Kent. 8 Apr 1848. Know ye that Alexander Kent is a private of Capt. A Morris Company 4th Regiment of Illinois Volunteers who was enlisted the 9 June 1846 to serve 12 months is hereby honorably discharged from the Army of the United States caused by the discharging of his Regiment. Said Alexander Kent is 26 years of age and was born in the state of Ohio, Union County, five feet 7 inches high, light complexion, blue eyes, red hair, and by occupation when enlisted a farmer,. Given at New Orleans this 26 day of 1847, A. C. Campbell, Leiut. D Company 4th Regiment Illinois Volunteers. ================================= Furthermore, David's parents marriage was in Appanoose in 1855. David's mother's parents and siblings were also in Appanoose County, Iowa in censuses in 1852, 1856 & 1858. And in 1850 in neighboring Davis County, Iowa. So, at present the bulk of the evidence points to Appanoose County, Iowa. No birth/church record for David has yet been found, too young for civil war, too old and deceased for WWI records. A check or recheck of the land records for possible sale/purchase of land by William Kent or Silas Kent for Fairfield County, Iowa land could be a possible scenario with Silas there in between censuses and could be checked, also church, tax, and land in Fairfield County, Iowa may prove or disprove your theory.

I don't know if anyone can help me, but it was about how she wandered from her home when she was about 3-4,5 years old. They found her a few blocks away. This happened in Omaha, where they lived.
