Looking for contact info for living descendants of Woodsie Gibbs or Boone D. Gibbs of Langlade County, WI, Breathitt Co, and Wolfe Co, KY. They are sons of George Washington GIBBS & Martha Ann Ingram of Menifee & Breathitt Co, KY. Grandsons of John Gibbs Jr & Elizabeth Shepherd of Holly Creek, Wolfe Co, KY. We are looking for a male descendant of any of these men with the Gibbs last name to participate in a Gibbs DNA surname project to prove the ancestry of a Revolutionary war soldier John Gibbs Sr of VA & KY. Boone D. Gibbs (b. 1878-1879 KY) & Mary Griffith Stamper's children: sons John 1898, Woodsee D 1901, Daniel Boone 1906, Clarence Donald Boyd Gibbs 1917 and daughters Rosa Margaret 1904, Grace May 1913 married name Simpson, Hazel Mary 1915. Woodsie Gibbs (b. 03-Mar-1875 KY) & Martha Alice Tyra's children: Harold F 1896, Hugh A 1899, Eugene James 05-Dec-1907, Woodsie Gibbs & America Arrowood's children: George Washington 1915, Emil 07-May-1917, Elmer 05-Feb-1919, Woodsie Charles 10-Mar-1924, Steven R. 22-May-1927, Carl Alan 09-Sep-1930, and daughters Ruby Evangeline 29-May-1921 Mildred/Millie 1913 daughter of America Arrowood & Robert Deaton, married name Wolf. Any descendants of these people are encouraged to contact Deborah Slager at Polo, IL so we can update the family history. Many of these children lived in KY, WI, ID, WA, OR and maybe CA. Anyone who has knowledge of the whereabouts of Boone D. Gibbs (b. 1878-1879 in KY), aka Bud Gibbs after he left Langlade Co, Wisconsin in 1917 and went to Idaho around 1920 is especially urged to contact us. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren are anxious to find out what happened to him. Deborah Slager (descendant of Woodsie b. 1875 KY) Polo, IL

I've always assumed they were German immigrants and had landed in a New York port where their son was born. I do not know if he had any siblings. I have done enough census work to think that Charles probably met Anna Follis/Fallis in Canada where they lived for a period of time. Their oldest child, Minnie Gehrke McHale was born in Milbrook(e), Durham, Ontario. This is information from Minnie's niece, Bernice, my father's oldest sister; she was raised by Minnie. CORRECTION: I know it is really confusing what with all the Charles and Walters, but Walter Gehrke, the oldest son, was married to Maude Betsey Clough. Maude and Walter were my grandparents. Got all that? I do have a few pictures of Charles and Anna I would be willing to send you. Do you have anything?

I have copy of Charles' death record completed by his oldest daughter which states he was born in Glen Falls, Warren County, New York. I would have to look that up again to remember his father's name, either Charles or Walter, and his mother's name, on the death record, states Mary Levane.

For years I've looked curiously at this copy of a photograph, evidently from an old post card, of the Mattoon Mercantile. Written on the back was that my great grandfather Christian Weber's sister had married a Mr. Kaiser and ran that store. (Christian Weber's wife's maiden name was Anna Kaiser also, daughter of Andreas Kaiser and Magdalena Esslinger) I've not been able to find any Mr. Kaiser at Mattoon as yet, probably because it was innacurate information given to me... since it appears that Mrs. Nick Lorrig was the Kaiser ...I've also had these photos of Annie Lorrig, with no mention of who she is in relation to our family. In reading over the last will and testament of my great grandfather's brother, Peter Weber, whose estate was processed on October 25, 1954. I noticed a list of grand nieces and nephews including the names: Gustave J. Kastner, LaCrosse, Grand-nephew Margaret K. Kasbohm, Milwaukee, Grand-niece Helen K. Friske, Milwaukee, Grand-niece Anne K. Jackson, Gulport, Miss. , Grand-niece Emma K. Bentley, Milwaukee, Grand-Niece Frances K. Amann, Milwaukee, Grand-niece Paul Kaiser, Unknown location, Grand-nephew Michael J. Kaiser, died July 30, 1953 -- see note**note says that heirs are Adela, widow, 3 sons: Roland J., Norton N. and Cletus H. of Milwaukee, Wis. John Kaiser, Milwaukee, Grand-Nephew Nicholas Kaiser, Milwaukee, Grand-nephew George Kaiser, West Bend, Wis, Grand-nephew Peter Kaiser, Sand Diego, CA, Grand-nephew Ray G. Kaiser, Milwaukee, Grand-nephew Frances Melchiors, Chicago, IL, Grand-niece Estella Mooney, Okemos, Mich, Grand-niece Rose Uhlenbrauck, Lansing, Mich, Grand-niece Mary Towner, Cincinnati Ohio, Grand-niece John Lorrig, Shawano, Wis, Grand-nephew Joseph M. Fuchs, St. Louis, MO, Grand-nephew Marla S. Weiss, Robertson, Missouri, Grand-niece These names were not familiar to me. However a recent discovery led me to a website at <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~antigowis/mattoon/lorrig.html>http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~antigowis/mattoon/lorrig.html Upon review the photos and information given at this website, I checked census records for the Mattoon area, and see that some of the grand-nieces mentioned were Lorrigs. Also one of the photos of a Lorrig in a horse drawn carriage in front of a retaining wall is the same wall, the same horse, the same dwelling, as a photo I have of Annie Lorrig. (I sent my photos to the webmaster of the website so he can add them if he wishes.) So now I know that the Lorrigs are the family that operated the Mercantile, that Mrs. Nick Lorrig was a Kaiser (Anna Kaiser), which is the same as my grandmother's maiden name--who married Christian Weber. However, what I don't know is who Anna Kaiser Lorrig's parents were, or exactly what the connection is to my Kaiser/Weber family. I would appreciate it if anyone who is familiar with this information, family, further history of the Mattoon area, Lorrig & related families, to please contact me so that we can compare notes and exchange information.
