Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/EauClaire/10671 Surname: Coffin, Coggeshall, Eggen, Myrvold, Rockwood, Schwellenbach, Streeter ------------------------- Hello, Thank you for your help! It was very kind of you to take the time to help me. I have looked up all versions of Jennie including Genevieve but it does help to know for sure that Genevieve is her full name and not Jennifer. It helps narrow my searching. I didn't know Jennie's birth month/year or that her parents were born in Wisconsin,so those pieces of information are helpful as well. Thank You :) I haven't been able to find any records for Jennie Rockwood Coffin or her parents. Did the record state the name of her parents? Someone emailed a month back and told me in a Rockwood marriage record they had it stated my great great grandmother Jennie's parents were listed as T.H. Rockwood and Jennie(probably Genevieve as well) Streeter. Do you have any information on either of them? I haven't been able to find any. I think the T probably stands for Theodore or Thomas but I could definitly be wrong. Does the census list all the names of the children? My great grandfather was Alexander George Gardner Coffin,son of Edward and Jennie. Do you have a subscription for the 1900 census? What site and is it worth the cost? I appreciate your help!! Thank You!! Have a nice night,Nikole

Posted on: EauClaire Co. Wi Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/EauClaire/10669 Surname: Noteware, Smith ------------------------- My grandfather's parents, Emma Ann Noteware-Smith and Martin Lorenzo Smith, lived in either Eau Claire Co or Chippewa Co during the mid to late 1800's they had at least 3 children that we know of. The children were George Alfred (b. 1881), Sheldon and Elizabeth. Sheldon taught Sunday School at a church (name unknown) and was probably the oldest. He drowned attempting to rescue someone else from drowning at a Sunday School picnic. My grandfather talked little about his famiily in WI. He left home at 16 and followed the Weyerhauser Timber Co to Washington State where he met and married my grandmother and had his family. I am researching for my father, Laurence Smith who is 81 now and would like to know more about his WI relatives. If any of these names sound familiar to anyone please respond. We thought that maybe the drowning would have been printed in a newspaper????

Jim, Thanks so much for your reply. Wilhelmina's case has been really hard for me to break through. Your help will be a real asset. Here is some more information that I know on her case. She married Philip Hammer in 1862 in Lincoln Twp, Eau Claire County, WI Her children were born in Bridge Creek Twp, Eau Claire County, WI in 1863 John 1865 Herman Philip 1867 Carl Gustav She reportedly died in 1869. Philip was a lumberjack. I have found him living in Menomonie, Dunn Co, WI in the 1860 census, enumerated with the Knapp, Stout Lumber Co. I could not find a correct listing for Kuehn or Kuehn with a Wilhelmina of the right age in Wisconsin. Philip served for 5 months in 1865 in a Wisconsin regiment mustered out at the tail end of the Civil War. The unit never saw any action. I looked for the family of Wilhelmina and Philip in the 1870 census, hoping to find her still alive or Philip enumerated alone with the kids. Unfortunately I did not find a trace of the family. I do know that Herman never lived anywhere else but Eau Claire County in his entire life, so it is not possible that they would have been counted in another state. What is the likely cause of not finding the family is that Wilhelmina had died and Philip had left the kids with family and gone back to a lumber camp, one that did not get counted in the census. Since the 1870 census is still based on head-of-household the children would have been counted in with someone else's family. Now, I have found no record of any additional family of Philip's in the area, like parents or brothers. Most of the other Hammer's in the area are Norweigen not German. As far as I can determine it appears he came alone to the U.S. as a young man. He was 30 in 1860 however, so he did marry late. Wilhelmina on the other hand is likely to have traveled with family of some type, a brother at the least, as her crossing would have been around or before 1860. I have searched the Eau Claire County sites and found a listing for a Johann Daniel Kuhn dying in Fall Creek, shortly after the turn of the century. It lists his age as within the range of being Wilhelmina's father. I could not however find a listing for a death of a wife of Johann Daniel. If he is buried in Fall Creek with an Anna beside him then it is likely Wilhelmina's parents. Names of this era are so difficult to search by as the Germans regularly have a first name of Anna or Maria that goes unused in daily life. Without middle names of Wilhelmina's parents the search is even more difficult. The thing with this whole search that I find most desturbing is that no one knows were Wilhelmina is buried. If you come across any information on that, I am distraught that we do not know where to honor her. My father mentions a time when his father took him to a small family plot of graves, out behind a corn field north of Augusta. He was very young and doesn't remember where the plot is. It could be that Wilhelmina is out there. My great-aunts that are 90 and 84 years old however don't know of any such plot existing. Thanks for offering your help. I bet you didn't think you would get a novel in return for a simple gesture. Thanks again. Let's hope we find something.
