Wi Obituaries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/GreenObits/462 Surname: SMITH, HESS, BOWEN ------------------------- The Albany Vindicator, Albany, Green County, WI, Thursday, February 18, 1897: At her residence in Albany on Sunday, Feb. 14, 1897, Mrs. Mary J. Smith, wife of James Storrs Smith, aged 55 years and 25 days. Mary J. Hess was born in Frankfort, Herkimer Co., N.Y., Jan. 19, 1842. Her parents came west when she was a child and settled in Magnolia, Rock Co. One brother, Benjamin, lives at Magnolia, and another, Zachariah, in Oklahoma. She was married to J.S. Smith Jan. 17, 1859, and has resided in Albany ever since, with the exception of two years' residence at Silver Creek, Mich. Two children were born to them, Nellie, wife of E.W. Bowen of Warrens, this state, and Frank, who resides at Madison, South Dakota, both of whom were permitted to be present at the death of their mother. Mrs. Smith has not enjoyed good health for many years, but a resolute will kept her from yielding. Her last sickness was brief and few knew that she was dangerously ill until two or three days before her death, when she suffered a stroke of paralysis. Mrs. Smith was a loving wife and mother, a leader in social societies and reforms, and will be missed by all. Funeral services were held at her late residence Monday afternoon, Rev. C. C. Swartz conducting the services. The floral offerings were profuse, and a lovely floral star from the Albany Chapter of Eastern Star, of which deceased was a member, being particularly fine. The Eastern Star attended the funeral in a body. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved husband and children. Transcriber's note: A Bio and Obit for James S. Smith, husband of Mary Hess, have also been posted. Both Mary and James are buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in Albany, Green County, WI.

Hello list, Here are a few biographies from the 1884 Green County History book, my ancestors : Here are a few biographies for the web site from the 1884 Green County history book : 1884 History of Green County Wisconsin, Book - Exeter Township, page 860 : George F. Ellis lives on section 14, on the farm bought in the spring of 1855 by his father, Mark Ellis, of Alonzo Jordan. This farm contains 200 acres, forty acres being on section 22. Mark Ellis was born in Eckington, Derbyshire, England, in 1803. His father, the grandfather of George, died in 1811, and the grandmother while Mark was an infant. Mark Ellis learned the trade his father had acquired - sickle making - and worked at it until his marriage in 1828 with Mary Watts. He then became a farmer, and lived as a renter on one farm twenty-two years. All the children were born there. Their names were - Olive, wife of Joseph Jackson, of Belleville, Dane County, Wisconsin ; she died in 1876 ; John, who lives in Fillmore County, Minnesota ; William, who died in this town in 1863 ; Arthur, who died in Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, in 1872 ; Thomas, now living in Green County ; Elizabeth, wife of Forester Havens, of the town of Exeter ; George F., and Mary, wife of Edwin Jordan, living near Evansville. In the summer of 1850 Mark Ellis and his family came to the United States, landing at New York City, and coming directly to this State, reaching Janesville (Rock County) July 10. He rented a farm the next spring of Judge Gibbs, and the next year of Judge Bailey, and in 1853 of Wait Wright, lived there two years, and came to Exeter in 1855 and bought a farm, where he died September 4, 1878. His wife died September 11, 1870. George F. Ellis and Flora Fitts were married October 26, 1869. She is a daughter of Francis and Harriet Fitts, now residents of Belleville. Mr. Ellis is one among the best citizens of the town, is a good farmer, and a man of many excellent qualities. 1884 History of Green County Wisconsin, Book - Exeter Township : Peolin P. Havens was born in Hartford, Washington County, New York, May 1, 1803. In his youth he learned the blacksmith trade, at which he became a master workman. At the age of twenty-two years he left home, and for the next ten years worked at his trade in different parts of the State. The last work which he did, as a hired man, was in New York City. In 1835, he went from there to Evans, Erie County, and worked in a shop of his own several years. He went from Evans to Orleans county, and in 1845 came to Wisconsin, and worked at blacksmithing two years in Evansville. In the fall of 1849 he came to Exeter and bought 240 acres of land. The village plat of Dayton was made by him at the time of his purchase. He opened the first blacksmith shop in that part of the town, in 1847. He was at one time interested in the water power at Dayton. Mr. Havens was married in Erie County, New York, to Betsey A. Phillips, who was born in Niagra County, New York, January 23, 1812. She died in Exeter, December 29, 1872. The children born to them were - Luther, who was born in 1835 and died March 11, 1866, from disease contracted while a prisoner at Andersonville. He was a member of the 8th Wisconsin regiment ; Harriet, born in 1836, is the wife of James Morris, of Milwaukee ; Forrester, born April 10, 1838, now owns the old homestead, and his father lives with him ; Livonia, born in 1840, died at the age of four years ; Albert P., born in 1843, was a member of the 42nd Wisconsin Volunteer regiment. Mr. Havens has led an active and useful life. Now in his declining years he has the confidence and respect of many warm friends. Forrester Havens, who now lives upon the homestead farm, was married Jan. 3, 1865, to Elizabeth Ellis, daughter of Mark Ellis. They have three children - Jessie, born in 1866 ; Aldulah, born in 1870 ; and Theodore, born in 1876. The village of Dayton, in Exeter, Green County, Wisconsin, was platted in August 1853, by P.P. Havens, who settled here in 1847 and opened the first blacksmith shop in this section of the country. He was one of the best mechanics, and his breaking plows were considered to be the best obtainable. He made plows and did general work in his line, supplying a large extent of country. Mr. Havens did not seem to be desirous of making money from the sale of lots, for, it seems, to induce people to locate here, he was generally ready to give a deed of a lot if improvements were to follow. 1884 History of Green County Wisconsin, Book - Exeter Township : Alonzo Jordan brought his family from Chittenden County, Vermont, in 1850, and made his home near Dayton, on the place now owned by George F. Ellis. Mrs. Clarinda Jordan, his first wife, died in Vermont, March 5, 1848, leaving four children, who were a part of Mr. Jordan's family when he settled in the town of Exeter. They were - Frances, the deceased wife of Warren Hill ; Alonzo P., Edwin T., who now lives in Rock County ; and Eliza, wife of Frank Edwards. In January, 1849, the year before coming west, Mr. Jordan was married to Charlotte Parker, a native of Franklin County, Vermont, born March 14, 1827. Before leaving Vermont, one son - Lucius O. - was born to them, and afterwards, in this town, were born - Wilber, who now lives in Belleville. Volney, who was married to Minnie Prucia, and has three children - Frank, Belver Pearl, and an infant daughter, now living in Dayton ; Emma, wife of Frank Green, and Fred, who now owns the homestead, and was married to Mary, daughter of Charles and Ann Parkin, November 27, 1883. Alonzo P. Jordan, the oldest son of Alonzo Jordan, was married June 11, 1865, to Frances Hunt, daughter of Homer and Mary Hunt. She was was in Dresden, Ohio. Her parents came to this town in 1866, and have since that time lived with Mr. and Mrs. Jordan. Mr. and Mrs. Jordan have two children - Lizzie May, born in 1870, and Charles Homer, born in 1873. Mr. Jordan owns 105 acres on section 26. Lucious O., the first born of Alonzo Jordan by his marriage with Charlotte Parker, owns 100 acres of land where he resides on section 26. He was married October 8, 1872, to Angeline Vest, daughter of Henry Vest, residents of Eau Clair, Wisconsin. Her mother died when she was quite young. They have seven children - Alonzo W., Emma A., Charlotte A., Orphia, Orlando, Lucius and Lewis, (twins). In 1856 the father, Alonzo Jordan, sold his place near Dayton, and moved on 160 acres of land he had previously bought on section 26, where he lived until his death, which occurred February 12, 1872. The homestead is now the residence of his widow and his son, Fred, who owns the property. 1884 History of Green County Wisconsin, Book - Exeter Township : Thomas Green was born in Derbyshire, England, March 8, 1841. His father, Joseph Green, with his wife and seven children, came to the United States, in 1851, coming directly from New York to Rock County, and locating in the town of Porter, where they bought a farm. There he lived until April, 1854, when he sold out and came to Exeter, where he bought the mill property from A.D. Kirkpatrick. He enlarged this mill, refitted it with new machinery, and successfully operated it until 1866, when he rented it to his son, Thomas, the subject of this sketch. The children who came to the United States with the parents were - Thomas, John, who died in Dane County, in 1877 ; Richard, produce dealer, at Middleton, Dane County ; Mary, deceased, wife of W.B. Norris, of Topeka, Kansas ; William, now in trade at Albany ; Chautry, who died in this county, in 1884 ; and Isaac, now a resident of Dedham, Iowa. Born in this State, were Herbert, (now in Albany) ; George, who lives in Dakota ; and Frank, who lives on the old homestead farm in this county, town of Exeter. Joseph Green was one of the prominent citizens of this part of the county, always foremost in all work which would advance the interests of his village. He was a member of the M.E. Church, and a consistant, honest Christian man. He died February 28, 1881. His widow, Ruth Green, survives him, and lives in the village of Dayton. Thomas Green succeeded to the mill property, by purchase, from the estate of his father, in the spring of 1881, and is now (1884) proprietor of the same. He was in the army a little more than four years, a member of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteers, known as the "Eagle regiment." He was a gallant soldier, as his comrades testify. The family did loyal service during the war, for, John Green went out as captain in the 37th regiment, and was promoted to colonery ; another brother, William, rose from the ranks to a lieutenancy. September 17, 1866, Thomas Green was married to Isabella Beattie, who was born in Northumberland, England, January 20, 1840, and came to this country, with some friends, in 1861, the year following, came to Monroe, and lived with a brother until her marriage. They have four children - Maggie, Ida, Jessie and Charles. Mr. Green owns fifty-two acres of improved land on section 11, bought from his father's estate. This with the mill property, gave him title to 105 acres. He is an energetic, reliable business man. Frank B. Green, son of Joseph and Ruth Green, was born May 17, 1859. He was married to Emma B. Jordan, January 4, 1882, who was born in this town, August 7, 1859. Mr. Green lives on the farm formerly owned by his father. This place is located on section 11, and contains 108 acres. Mr. and Mrs. Green have one child - Mabel Mary, born July 4, 1883. Over the past year I've been lucky enough to purchase both the 1877 and 1884 Green County, Wisconsin history books. I hope to scan them both and burn them onto CD when time permits. Best Regards, -- ...................................................... :<=*=> Lane R.

Hi Lori, Thanks for all your work. I am researching the family of Thomas MCCAULIFF who settled in Adams Township, Green County, in 1850. He came with a young family from Illinois where I think he had worked on the Michigan/Illinois canal. They had previously lived in Syracuse, NY (Erie Canal enhancement time) and immigrated from County Cork, Ireland. I don't know where in County Cork. Anyway, William, b 1839 (Cork), John, b 1843(NY), Catherine b.1848 (Illinois) and Mary Ann b. 1850 (Illinois) were the siblings joined by Edward, Thomas and Hannah born in Green County. I know Thomas was a landowner in 1861. I know most about William who was my great grandfather, but I have found that John married Susan Briggs, Catherine, married a Kelley, Mary Ann a Doyle and Hannah married Thomas Mahoney. Edward and Thomas just sort of disappeared and I am pretty sure they were not living by 1903 when William died as they were not listed in his rather detailed obit which listed his surviving siblings. He homesteaded in northwest Iowa in 1871 so I knew nothing about any of his siblings when I started my tracing. John and Susan and family wound up in Butler County, IA as did Mary Ann Doyle living with a son-in-law in 1900 with two daughters, Jane and Catherine. Her older daughter, Magdalen who was married to son-in-law mentioned, Joseph Crotty, died after childbirth in 1900. One of John's sons was Pearl James McCauliff which is decidedly a different first name for our family yet I have not found him beyond 1900 census at this time. I have found Jane Doyle's line and we are pretty sure she was born in Lafayette County. She married a Frank McGee in Butler County. Hannah and Thomas Mahoney also lived in Shullsberg, Lafayette County according to 1900 census. I have limited info on Green County, including where the father Thomas was buried. His wife, Mary Barry must have gone to live with children in Butler County after his death because she is buried there with family but not Thomas.

All of these families arrived in Green County ca 1850 and all of the marriages among these families occurred in Green County. Most of the families lived in Spring Grove, Clarence, Albany and Monroe. The KNOWLES & SMITH families are primary focus of my research. KNOWLES, C.C. & family - and related families: SMITH, Daniel S. & family TENNEY, Amos, A.D. & families ALLEN - Oscar & family HESS - David & family VAN CUREN - V.R. (for Van Rensselaer) & family COWING - Carrie Emma Cowing m Chester A. Smith in 1866 WILSON - Alice E. Wilson m Joseph F.

I, too, have families from central PA, Centre Co. & Northumberland Co, who came to Green Co., WI, and to Stephenson Co., IL - Family names - TREASTER and STOUT - both wives were DUTCHERS. Jacob Treaster & Margaret Dutcher came to Stephenson Co. 1842-1845. Their son William Treaster came to Green Co. & married Frances BOWELL of Sylvester Township in 1860. Their daughter Mary Treaster & husband Ephraim Berryman moved from Stephenson Co. to Green Co., also Sylvester Township, in the 1850's. Anyone out there researching these families? Burna K. Jamieson

I had to get out my Atlas to see where Union County is (N Central PA I'd say). Some of my Green County folks went from Erie County, PA (NW corner of PA). Other families crossed over from Winnebago Co., IL (orig from NH/ME). Cheers, Ellen [email protected] wrote: > > Listers, I was curious to find other families from

Listers, I was curious to find other families from Union County, PA, who moved to Green County, WI (as my Nolls & Diffenderfers did sometime between 1840-1860). Here are the names of similar families, some of whom were in Stephenson County nextdoor--perhaps someone on this list will connect.
