Maybe someone might be able to give me a little direction. My GGF Louis Willgues married Mary Mitchell in Wellsburg, WV 10-15-1868. This is where it gets interesting and confusing! In the 1880 census, Louis Willgues is married to Harriett Gover in Wheeling, WV with 4 children, first child being 17, so born in 1863, second 1869, third 1874, last 1878. The first daughter could of been from the first marriage???? From Harriets death notice (1925) I find that she was born in England, parents, Jacob & Sarah Gover, came to US in 1854, settled in Iowa, then Wellsburg, WV, and she lived in East Liverpool, Oh for 40 years. So that would be DOD 1925 -40yrs=1885, living in East Liverpool. Her death notice also states she is the widow of a Civil War Veteran. As far as I have been able to find Louis was not a Civil War vet. Although, Harriet had a son named Samuel J Willgues (born 1884), and I did find a Samuel Willgues who was a CW vet, but he I have not connected him to Harriett, and I have tried. Now in 1900 Harriet is a widow, living in East Liverpool with children, Mary (wife #1) nowhere to be found. BUT Louis is in Carnegie, married now to my GGM Ellen Pascoe, living on 5th Ave, and the first child being born in 1888 to be followed by children in 1890, 92, 95, 97, 99, 00 and another so, no date as of yet. In 1908 Ellen and some children are in the Carnegie City Directory, but Louis is missing, and probably dead, he was born in 1843, but he is not buried in Chartiers Cemetery where his daughter, son and wife (#3) were buried in 1899,1920 and 1943. BUT in 1920, Harriet is in East Liverpool still, I find a Mary Willgues (with a son John) and Ellen ALL in Ohio all widows (finally) Any suggestions where to turn, where to look, would really be helpful. Any suggestions? So what do you think, a BIGAMIST or a Family Man??? Terry
