Thanks to everybody who has answered by query re the Reynolds family of Milwaukee. I have two instances of the name of Reynolds. One is that a "cargo train" owned the Reynolds brothers and a sister left either Milwaukee or Chicago for California during the Gold Rush. The word "cargo train" is something we don't use out here in California. They are "wagon trains" and the jumping off places for the California Gold Rush were Council Bluffs, IA or St. Joseph, MO. Anyhow, in checking Rasmussen for California Passenger Lists and wagon train lists arriving in California during the Gold Rush, I find that there is no record of a Reynolds Brothers wagon train. It could be that the record was lost in the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906. However, I did look at the Second Directory of Milwaukee (1848) and found two people named Reynolds: J. S. Reynolds, a farmer, 5th Ward, Clinton Street and Joseph Reynolds, wood turner, Canal, Vliet Street, Second Ward. Has anyone ever heard of the Reynolds Brothers' wagon train? The son of the man who went on the "supposed" cargo train to California in 1850 with the Reynolds Brothers was going to go to college in Milwaukee during the time period of 1888-1891. The young man lived in Iowa, where the family had moved. The son mentions in memoirs that the "my father had planeed to get me a job with his old friends, the Reynolds Brothers of Milwaukee, WI who were the same Reynolds family that he (the father) made the overland trip to California in 1849. They were quite wealthly and ran a large Bank and many other business interests in the city." The young man in question, however, decided to stay in Iowa and got a job as an apprentice to a local druggist. Can anyone help me? Annie

Hi My great Uncle Robert Alexander Walker was a cardiologist and lived in Milwaukee with his wife whose maiden name was Schultz. I am sorry I do not know her first name.But was told that her father owned Schultz Steel. One of my father's cousins told me that they had two daughters and that one was called Catherine. My Aunt and Uncle both told me that he had a son and daughter. He was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada area in 1871 and died prior to his brother who was my grandfather who died in November 1944. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read this e mail. Linda Ottawa, Ontario. Canada

No, I sent it to WIMILWAU-L for Cardi2@AOL.com (Annie). It probably went to everyone who is a member of the above @ rootsweb.com. Hope you are having a good week and that you are progressing well with all of your research. Bob of Brookfield

Hi...i know your posting wasn't aimed at me but it does fit. I am the great-granddaughter of Dr. John J. Seelman that you mention in the Reynolds listing. Elizabeth Reynolds married him. They had 2 daughters. Elizabeth's father was Charles T. Reynolds (he moved to Kansas, where she was born). Her mother, Margaret Bradley, died 3 days after she was born, and Charles sent her & her two siblings to live with his sister-in-law Libby Bradley in Milwaukee. In the listing you made, I can tell you that the Hugh P. was Charles' brother. Their parents were Richard & Christina Reynolds. I know that Richard Reynolds sold land to the City of Milwaukee back in the 1850's (?) which is now Layton Park. In the 1850 census for Greenfield...they were listed as... Richard 58 born in Ireland Christina 56 born in Ireland Catherine 26 born in Ireland Ann 25 born in Ireland Mary 23 born in Ireland Jane 22 born in New York John 19 born in Michigan Margaret 16 born in Michigan Hugh P. 15 born in Wisconsin Charles 12 born in Wisconsin George 10 born in Wisconsin Edward 62 born in Ireland Most of this Reynolds & Bradley family are buried in Calvary Cemetery in Milwaukee.

Do you know the first name of your Reynolds inquiry? Read a lot of Milwaukee History and have found many but don't know which one you refer to without looking up each and every one again. Reynold's names in Milwaukee that I have found to date are: HARRIET, HAROLD, EDWIN, MRS. MAXWELL K. nee PHYLLIS MILLER, HUGH P., LYMAN, RICHARD, WILLIAM, TOM, EDWARD, GEORGE F., JOS., U., JOSETTE JUNEAU, MARION, JOHN B., SR., JOHN B., JR., ELIZABETH RUTH, MRS. THOMAS, JAMES, H.P., CHARLES E., J.P. & MRS. nee F. H. TROMLEY, MARGARET, FRED C. MRS. JOHN nee MARY, DR. BELLE, JAMES M. ARIE (MRS. F. D. HUNTER), ELIZABETH A. (MRS. J. J. SELLMAN), CATHERINE (MRS. EDWARD F. SEYBOLD, SR.), MARY ELIZBETH (MRS -Mr. a Doctor - JOHN J. SEELMAN. If any are familiar and you want to know what the references say, please let me know. Bob of Brookfield
