I am looking for information on the Hubbell family who lived in Riceville between 1836 and 1924. Lewis Hubbell was married to Emily Wells so I am also looking for information on the Wells family who may of lived there during that time.

I'm looking for any information from Crawford County on John BRAGEL/BRAKEL/BRAEKEL. He was in Venango Township for the 1840 census, leaving with his family later in the decade for Iowa where he died. He was a German Lutheran. Were there any Lutheran churches (or circuit riders) in Crawford County at that time? Thanks, Sue

Diana: Mather was rather famous--there even is a book published about his work in the oil fields. Many of his surviving negatives are now owned by the Drake Well Museum in Titusville. He was in Titusville by 1865, and did not die until 1915, so he had quite a long career. I would imagine the Titusville Historical Society, the Drake Well Museum and/or the Crawford Co. Historical Society would be interested in scans of people who are identified. [they might allow Drake Well to identify some of the negatives in their collection by comparison.] Bill Moore ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2002 8:05 AM Subject: [Crawf'rd] Mather- Photographer > I was wondering if any one could tell me when the photographer; MATHER > was in Titusville, PA.

I was wondering if any one could tell me when the photographer; MATHER was in Titusville, PA. I have a whole velvet album that belonged to my grandmother, Pearl Hendrson, or perhaps my great grandfather, William Lee Henderson. A few photographs are marked, William Mitchell Henderson, d 5 May 1900; Mary B. Haskins d 19 Nov 1896. I believe most of the photographs are in that time frame. I can scan the photographs. I do not know who to send them to. Diana of Borrego Springs,CA.

Hi Sally, My husband was born and raised in Scotland. I myself do have a tie to Butler Co. on my Webb side. She married into the Mahood line. So far I just have proved that my Crawford Co. Wescoat family members came to KS and there could be a possibility of Grinnell cousins also.

I think we may need to distinguish between those who went before the war and those who went after. The family story as I got it, and I think it was probably my father, who knew history but was arithmetically challenged, who garbled it, was that his grandmother, Rosetta LUPHER GILSON as she then was, went there before the war, found it too much, too wild, you know, "bleeding Kansas" and all that, and that is why she came back. This is nonsense. Rosetta was 14 when the war ended. She married John GILSON in Crawford Co in 1870, he died in 1874, and *then* she went to Kansas, taking along her young son, not earlier than 1875 and probably a year or two later. There is a covered wagon story in there somewhere too, which I treat with a generous shaker full of salt because there were railroads by then, in fact some of those places in Harvey Co seem to have been boomtowns precisely because they were railroad centers (Newton, Burrton). In 1878 in Newton, Kansas she married my greatgrandfather, Chandler Price TAYLOR, who, as I said, was from Ohio. Their first child was born in Kansas in 1879, and they were there for the census of 1880. By the time their second child, my grandmother, was born, in 1882, they were back in Ohio. Later they came all the way back to Crawford County. It wasn't land with mine, not with greatgrandfather Chandler TAYLOR. On the contrary, he *had* land; he had inherited a large farm in Ohio and I get the impression he was always looking for ways not to be a farmer. On his marriage license in Kansas in 1878 he gave his occupation as 'Trader' and if you think that seems a bit evasive, so do I. In 1880 he told the census he was a Druggist (!). I'm sure he was not in the modern sense but perhaps he had a drugstore, or was an assistant in one. Back in Ohio he took a brief crack at farming among other things, but soon sold the farm. At the end of his life he was a hotel keeper in Lincolnville, Crawford County. Jan My website: http://janiceaf.home.netcom.com/index.html

I don't know why the McMichael's went to KS, but a lot of them did go. I believe that Thomas and Margaret arrived with their family in Lincoln, KS about 1886. I don't know exactly how they got there. They are still listed in the Crawford County Directory in 1880, and one obituary that I have says that they came to Lincoln County in 1886. Thomas Harvey, Margaret and their youngest child, Agnes are all buried in Lincoln Cemetery in Lincoln, KS. I think they went for the land. From what I have gathered, they were farmers. Alvin Ewing McMichael was a stone mason and he moved there after marrying a Dora from New York. One of the other sons, Matthew, with his wife Minnie (Brown), moved from Crawford County, PA to Highland Township in Morris County, KS. My great grandfather, Oscar Randolph McMichael, settled in Quenemo, KS, then went to MO for a while, back to KS and then to CO. My great uncle who is 94 and still alive said that they moved a lot for work that they did. Farming, carpentry and almost anything they could do to earn a living. It was a hard life. I wish I knew more about it. Some of Thomas Harvey McMichael's sisters also died in KS. Still looking for Margaret Jane Ewing McMichael....

My WADE family moved to Kansas in 1868. From a letter I have, it appears that they moved there for the land, as he owned a large cattle ranch in Keene, not far from Kansas City. Ambrose Ford Wade was also a Civil War vet, and business owner in Keene and served in the Kansas state legislature. A written account of how they got to Kansas may interest some: They left Kinsman (Trumbull Co. OH) by boat in one of the headwaters of the Ohio River to Pittsburgh, PA. From Pittsburgh they came witht their goods by steamship down the Ohio River to the Mississippi River, then the Missouri River to Kansas City. The final miles to Mission Township were by wagon. Ambrose WADE was married to Ora Caroline COLE of Crawford Co. PA. Ambrose was born in Kinsman, OH. Linnea

Hello fellow researchers, Yes many came here to KS from Crawford Co. I am now finding out. My mother is a Wescott from Crawford Co., PA, from Amaziah Wescoat who moved from NY to Crawford Co., PA. He had a brother Lewis and also a son Isaac who we heard that they "moved west". Well, just this year I found Lewis in 1850 in Hillsdale Co., MI with a son Quinton. After tracing Quinton down I discovered he died here in Decatur Co., KS and I have a copy of his obit showing he was born in Crawford Co., PA!! Two weeks ago I was up to Decatur Co. and found Quinton's tombstone. Also at the same time I discovered Isaac was in Bureau Co., IL in 1850 with a son named Amariah who turns out to be Amaziah. Isaac died here in Nemaha Co., KS and his son Amaziah died in Bourbon Co., KS. I'm not sure why Isaac came to KS, but I know that Quinton came after the Civil War. The obit for Isaac states that he came in 1857. The gov't. was trying to settle KS so many came as homesteaders. Being that Isaac and Quinton were related is probably one other reason Quinton came. Yes, many people moved here, but not all could adjust. Betty Macdonald in Hays, KS having fun tracing her lost relatives here in KS.
