Among the objects placed in the box was "a book containing the signatures of many of those present at the celebration." Does anyone know: Are the contents of the box on display somewhere in Grant County? Has the book of signatures been transcribed?

Surnames: WOOD CASSEL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/476 Message Board Post: My father has been searching for leads on his father's adoptive parents for over 25 years and today I found the marriage of George W WOOD and Eliza A CASSEL in Grant County, Wisconsin on August 8, 1865 (3 weeks after George mustered out of the Union Army in Louisville, Kentucky). I also found George's death record and his military record! What a day! George and Eliza WOOD were the adoptive parents of my grandfather Forest Henry WOOD (born 2/18/1872 in Colesburg, Iowa). Forest was born out of wedlock and his mother was Alice CASSEL (Eliza's sister). George died on 3/13/1902 and is buried in Waubeek Cemetery, Eau Galle, Wisconsin. On a research trip this summer I found his tombstone and shot a photo, just in case I made a connection some day. Today I confirmed he is our "George"! That's all I know, I'm going to request a copy of the marriage, death and military records for further verification and potential answers. If you have a connection, please respond. Kathy

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/473.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Philip Nelson Casler resided in Mt. Hope Township, Grant Co., Wis. In the 1895 Plat Book for Grant County, it shows him having three parcels of land in Sections 22 and 27. The parcels totaled 160 acres. From Census records he was born c. 1827 in NY. He was the son of John Casler and Jane ?. John and Jane are both buried in the Casler cemetery which is located on one of the parcels of land owned by Philip. From the 1880 Census for Grant Co., Mount Hope Township John Casler was listed as 83 years old, Jane was listed as 75 years old and P.N. was listed as 43 and single. John was also listed as being born in NY and his parents were listed as NJ and NY (father,mother). Jane was listed as being born in NY and her parents were listed as NJ and PA. Philip Nelson Casler was married 03 Jul 1881, Grant Co., Wis (ref. 10-69) to Lillie Van Valkenberg. She was the daughter of Daniel Van Valkenbergh and Ruth Elizabeth Barker. Daniel was born in 1817 in NY and died 06 May 1897 at Mount Hope, Grant Co. From the index to Fennimore Times 1900-1909 it appears that John Casler and his wife, Jane, came to Grant County from NY in 1843. There is an article in the Fennimore Times issue of Oct. 21, 1903. From the Grant Co., Wis. birth records by David Taft, Elva Casler was born on 14 Aug 1888 at Mount Hope. Unfortunately, I could find nothing on Rolley Elliott's side. There are Elliotts in various places in Grant County but as yet I haven't been able to find a connection to Rolley or James William Elliott.

>>I have only recently found out that my father Jack Taylor came from Grant Co. WI. his father was Alfred Taylor and his mother Anna Taylor. If there is any family back there please get in touch with me. He spent most of his life in Idaho around Dixie. He married mom and they seperated after only a few months and I never knew my father. I lived just a hunderd miles from him. Thanks>> Hello, Are you possibly related to my Grants County family: Fountain Taylor (b. 1808, Virginia>Grants Co., WI) whose daughter was (Sarah) Elizabeth Taylor, b. 1853? Elizabeth Taylor was my GGGrandmother, giving birth to my GGrandmother Anna Elizabeth Winney in 1869-1871 in Wisconsin; Elizabeth Taylor Winney died in 1872-73.

During WWII my family lived next to "Moon's Grocery Store" in Platteville. I remember Mr. Moon as being a wonderful, kind, & happy fellow. Could he be related to your Moons? Don't remember his first name. Maybe there is some info on this family at the Wisconsin Room, at the Karmann Library, which is located on the campus of the UW-Platteville. A bicycle shop is now located where the old Moon's Grocery was located. And is next door to the Brick School. Good Luck in your search.
