Would someone be able to look up William and Mary Faull of Grant Co or surrounding county in the census, I am not picky of the year as long as it is after 1875. Her maiden name was Kinney and she was born in VT. She is listed on her obit as being born in 1817, which I think is wrong, and is why I would like to look at census for her. Being that she was married in 1875 in Grant Co and she lived til 1927, this age is doubtfull. Her middle initial is J and his is R. I would appreciate any help on this. Even if someone could find her in WI as her maiden name Mary J Kinney brother Vernon. Thanks, Sandy ps It also states in the obit her nephew, U W Beeman. He was born about the time Nuate/Nate Beeman and DAVID TAFT Do you thing the Nuate could have been Uriah W Beeman? I found him in census with Henry after Mary Faull Jewell Beeman's passing.
