Barbara, Could you please forward me the article on James Wickham (I only recently got on the mailing list) and any other info on his marriages and family. All four of Kathryn McDonough's grandparents were also my third great grandparents. The following is from a document written by Violette (McDonough) McIver, dated May 16th, 1938: "Jane married Frank MC Donough, a brother of the above John. They had Irene , who died in infancy., Frank T. Married who married Grace McCord,whose children were Virginia and MCCord. Frank later married Victor Linley, who died. They had one child, Victor Jr., Later she married Judge James Wickham, then...Joseph Gilbert who married Louise Algeyer of New Orleans La. Whose child is Martha Lise, then Mary who married Josepf cook Culver , whose children are Mary Jane , Josephine, Frank McD, Louise and Patricia,.then Damien , who died in infancy, then Violette, who married George Walter Mc Iver, whose child is Jane McD." I saw his grave at Sacred Heart Cem in Eau Claire buried with two wifes Ida Oct 12, 1867 (birth?) and Helen. Who's son was William E. Wickham 4/27/1933? Here is my link to him. Sorry, I just noticed that I've somehow entered 1944 as 1864. do you have more exact dates on anyone? http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tdowling&id=I2974 Thanks, Tim http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/d/o/w/Timothy-M-Dowling/index.html --- RETFTRDOC@aol.com wrote: > Nance, > > Re your article dated 9 Nov 2000, Legal Profession > in ECC. > > I read with interest the item on James WICKHAM, > judge of the circuit court. > In the article it states that his parents were > Patrick and Catherine > (Quigley) > WICKHAM. > > This contradicts my husband's family history.
