Posted on: Pierce Co. Wi Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Wi/Pierce/75 Surname: PRIBLE, PREBLE ------------------------- My husbands great grandfather was Benjamin Reuben PRIBLE / PREBLE. I would estimate he was born around 1847. Benjamin listed his place of birth on census records as Maine. So I have spent 25 fruitless years trying to find him in Maine. Last night, thanks to Ancestry's images on line I found his Civil War record. List his place of residence as Hudson, Wisconsin. I pulled up the census records available on ancestry and found several PREBLE / PRIBLE listings in Pierce County which is located directly below St. Croix County where Hudson is located. As Pierce was formed from St. Croix County I strongly believe these PREBLE / PRIBLE families are his relatives. There were no listings in St. Croix County. Benjamin fought in the Civil War in Wisconsin Co. D 2nd Cavalry from enlistment in 1861 to 1865. He fought at the Battle of Vicksburg. He ended up in Arkansas County, Arkansas where he married Cora Belle VAN CAMP in 1875. He also fought in several battles in the Civil War in Arkansas. I am trying to find out anything about the PREBLE / PRIBLE family in this area of Wisconsin. I strongly suspect he is the son of Rufus, Eli and Andrew PREBLE / PRIBLE. Thank you.
