Volume 1 page 146 Frank Henry Starkweather was married on Oct. 20, 1875 to Ella Frankie Edwards, Volume 2 page 453 Sarah E. Starkweather married June 20, 1883 to James S.

Montgomery, Volume 6, page 308 Olive Starkweather married Sept. 12, 1850 to Lorenzo Armidon Volume 1 page 170 The 1880 Brooklyn, Green Co., WI has Mabel Starkweather. Census on June 22 and 23, 1880, page 35. Brooklyn is very close to the Town of Union. What appears to be strange with this census is that Brooklyn is actually in Dane Co. on the Rock Co. line. Starkweather Harvey P. age 55, farmer born in New York father born in Vermont and mother in New York Sarah age 48 wife, keeping house born New Brunswick, father born Ireland motoher born Ireland Harvey R. age 21 son works on farm born in Wisconsin Katie A. age 15 daughter at school born in Wisconsin Mabel age 12 daughter at school born in Wisconsin Frank Clark age 14 nephew at school born in NY parents born in NY Carrie Peterson age 22 servent born in Norway, parents born Norway This census states Mabel is 12 years old. I did not find her in the 1870 census but the 1900 census she states she was born in December of 1870. The next familly on this census is that of: Anson Starkweather age 84, retired born in Vermont parents born Vermont Lucretia age 73 wife keeping house born New York father in Massachusetts mother in Vermont 1870 census for Brooklyn, Green Co., WI page 38 Starkweather H P age 45 farmer New York Sarah age 34 keeping house New Brunswick Ella age 18 born Wisconsin school teacher Joseph age 15 Wisconsin Harvey age 12 Wisconsin Katie age 6 Wisconsin Clark, Frank age 4 born Wisconsin H age 74 born in Vermont Lucretia 63 born in New York Alvord 44 born New York 1860 Brooklyn, Green Co., WI July 13, 1870 page 75 Post Office is Dayton Indexed as Stockweather H.P. age 32 farmer $1300 $600 born in New York Sarah age 27 born in Nova Scotia Children born in Wisconsin: Ellen age 9 Joseph age 5 Harvey age 2 A. age 66 farmer $2000 $600 born Vermont Lucretia age 53 born Pennsylvania Albert age 34 born in New York $1200 personal 1850 Town of Brooklyn Dist No. 4, Green Co., WI October 16, 1850 Starkweather Anson age 53 farmer $2000 born Vermont Lucretia age 41 born Pennsylvania Children all born in New York: Alvord age 24 farmer Harriet age 18 Marion age 12 Emeroy age 14 Erastus age 5 Adelbert age 3 Harvey P. age 25 farmer $800 born New York Sarah age 18 born New Brunswick Amidon, Olive age 21 born New York Price, Prudence age 77 born in Pennsylvania. Prudence is most likely the mother to Lucretia. See the record below and Harvey's middle name is Price. This census with Prudence Price, suggests that she is somehow related to this family. In the Wisconsin Necrology records, volume 11 pages 171 to 172 there is an obit for Harvey Price Starkweather 1825 to 1910 Harvey P. Starkweather of Brooklyn is also in the History of Green Co., Wisconsin page 720, a biographical sketch, published in 1884 I will have to look at the Johnson side another time. Since that is such a common surname, it will be best to see the marriage record. Please contact me direct and I may be able to give you the name of a person who may have more information on the Starkweather lineage. marana@charter.net ----- Original Message ----- From: <cmirjohn@earthlink.net> To: <WIDANE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 5:50 PM Subject: Re: [WIDANE] Mr. Bernice Myron Johnson > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WFC.2ACI/2531.1 > > Message Board Post: > > I am Bernice and Mabel (Starkweather) Johnson's great granddaughter.
