    1. [NYCORTLA] WILLIAM CHARLES SANDERS OF WISCONSIN, IOWA, NEW YORK OR PENNYSLVANIA
    2. Looking for my GGgfa William Charles Sanders supposedly born in New York. But this may not be so as no one has been able to find him. My Book 330 years of the Hills in America says he was b. Ny., but that doesn't make it so. The cemetery information that I'm showing below could be him as date of birth and his location fits the our family history and migration and since I'm a Cessna descendant and my Wm. could have went to New York fm Pennsylvania though he didn't marry a Cessna. Wm. C. Sanders/(Saunders as family always claimed) married Louisa Hills about 1830 in Onondaga County, Ny. Louisa Hills is the dau., of Joel Hills and Mary "Polly" Fox. Louisa is descendant of Wm Hills one of the cofounders of Hartford, Connecticut. Our branch is via Elisha Hills and Rebecca Loveland. But to move on, many of my Sanders were born in Ny in and or around the Onondaga County area. They eventually migrated to Michigan for a few years and helped in the building of railroads there. Then they moved on to Green County, Albany Wisconsin area. Joel and Mary "Polly" and others are buried Gap Cemetery just out side of Albany Wisconsin. But this is where my Ggfa Joel Cornealius Sanders married Ruehwama (Rewama) Cessna dau., of Oliver Cessna & Martha Ann Baughman. Oliver and some of the Hills are mentioned in the History of Green County. Oliver & Martha's and Hills and my Ggfa & wife moved on to Iowa. I about forgot there was a J. Baughman in Green Co., also and many of the Baughman's were also in Iowa. My gmo Riddle was Mary Sanders and she was born Hardin Co., Iowa. My GGgmo Louisa Hills is buried in Waterloo, Blackhawk County, Iowa. Now can any of you identify this Wm Sanders as being mine. Cemeteries in Muscatine County Page: 618 Name: Wm.
