Hello all! :) I have been working on my husband's line and found that he has a tie into the Hooser line. I have been trying to see if Emeline Hooser, born in Madison County, Illinois and married Calvin West, was the daughter of Ambrose Hooser? There is a Pheby (Phoebe Hooser) that keeps jumping around from Madison County, Illinois and Grant County, Illinois. I did see that Jacob Hooser did have a son named Ambrose, who died farming in Platteville (this information was found on the Rootsweb Grant County website (Commemorative Biographical Record of the Counties of Rock, Green, Grant, Iowa and Lafayette Wisconsin - 1901). Thanks! :) Dawn **************************************** Dawn D. West

Dawn, Have you already looked in the censuses? Emaline HOOSER of Edwardsville, Madison, IL in 1850 is living in the household of Charles CROCKER--no HOOSER parents to be found. A reference to Ambrose HOOSER's death appeared in Alton Telegraph And Democratic Review (Alton, Illinois) > 1847 > August > 6: GUARDIAN'S NOTICE-- Notice is hereby given, that I shall apply at the next term of the Madison county Circuit Court, to be holden on the third Monday in the month of August next, by petition, for the order and decree of said court, to sell the reasl estate of Ambrose HOOSER, late of Madison county, deceased, for the maintenance and support of the infant heirs of said HOOSER; when and where all persons interested in the said estate may appear and show cause, if any they have, why said real estate should not be sold for such purpose. PHOEBE HOOSER Guardian of the heirs, &c. July 30, 1817-31-31 The Daily Alton Telegraph, The (Alton, Illinois) > 1853 > May > 19 (Madison County) contains a legal notice that begins as follows: "Caroline HOOSER, Ambrose HOOSER, Elizabeth HOOSER, Amy A. HOOSER, Emeline HOOSER & Thomas HOOSER, by their guardian John WEAVER; vs. Mary A. HOLMAN and Nathaniel HOLMAN, her husband, Delilah MOORE, widow, and the unknown heirs of William MOORE, deceased, Catharine TEAS[?], Lucinda HOOSER and Jane HOOSER." The rest of it is barely readable. "Dawn D. West" <[email protected]> wrote: Hello all! :) I have been working on my husband's line and found that he has a tie into the Hooser line.

Mary: I have looked in the censuses and found that Emaline was living with a different family in 1850. I also found the two articles that you found from the Alton Illinois newspapers. The second, dated May 19, 1853, shows it is a legal notice, but I can not tie that into Emaline being the daughter of Ambrose Hooser and the Ambrose Hooser that is listed, I can not find him after the 1850 census. I did find Phoebe Hooser living in Platteville in 1870 with her son Henry - with the same birth year and birth state (North Carolina). **************************************** Dawn D.
