Hi Dan & Dee My name is Sheryl Osborn. I am researching the Bull/Mortimer family from Sauk Co., Wisconsin. In the book History of Reedsburg and the Upper Baraboo Valley p. 474-475, in the biographical sketches. Under Mr and Mrs. Wilson Mortimer I found this on the surname Sherman: On Nov. 2, 1889, Wilson married Miss Dell Horton. She was born Feb. 1, 1873, also a native of Woodland. Daughter of Eli Davidson and Ann Eliza (Sherman) Horton. The father was born in Oswego, N. Y., Nov. 27, 1834, son og Gurden and Lucy (Davidson) Horton, and was a lineal descendant of Barnabas Horton, an English immigrant who came to America during the early 1600's. Eli Horton, at an early age, entered the Oneida Community, which was a Shaker Sect, of Oneida Co., N. Y., and there grew to manhood. Leaving that, at the age of nineteen, in 1853, he came to Fort Atkinson, where he married, March 28, 1858, Ann Eliza Sherman. She was born April 7, 1838, in Oswego, N. Y., daughter of Leonard and Anne (Whitford) Sherman. On Aug. 15, 1862. Eli Horton enlisted in the Union Army; was wounded June 10, 1864, at Burnt Hickory, GA.; and mustered out April 8, 1832. Coming to Woodland in 1867, they ever after resided there. He died Feb. 8, 1917; his wife May 3, 1908. There is a Walter Hoyt in the book. Let me know if you would like that info. I have a copy of the 1860 census, but only the Woodland twp. part. There is a: S. Sherman - age 33, farmer, birthplace - NY Ann E. - age 28, birthplace - NY Emma - age 5, birthplace - Wis Frank - age 4, birthplace - Wis Ida - age 1, birthplace - Wis But no Hoyt in the census for Woodland twp. I found a few Sherman's in the Sauk County Cemetery Inscription, Volume #5. I have pages 116-126 on-line and you can view them at http://www.angelfire.com/mo/mortimergen/friendscemetery.html Hope this helps and let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Would anyone have a copy of the 1860 census and could you tell me if the Sherman family is ennumerated in Sauk Co, WI.? I have found other Shermans living in Antelope County but from records I have found, they seem to be from Racine County, WI.

I was able to find some Sauk county folks in my line in "Wisconsin 1860 Federal Census Index" in our genealogy society library. Haven't gotten the actual census records yet, but at least I know they exist. If you live in Wisconsin...you undoubtedly know that the entire 1860 census is available on microfilm in the State Historical Society of Wis. library in Madison. I just got back from a trip there...that facility is truly awesome! Otherwise, I'm sure you can order the census rolls you need through your local library's inter-library loan. Good luck with your search! Martha in St. Louis, MO

Leslie - I'll pull it out of my file and post it. But basically Clemens had attacked Andrew a couple of times. He eventually tried to poison him by removing raisins from a cake that Andrew's mother had baked for him and substituting cyanide! Fortunately Andrew realized that something was wrong almost immediately. There was a trial in 1889 and Clemens was sent to prison for a few years. Later, after he was released, he again attacked Andrew. That time he tried to beat him with a hickory club while Andrew was asleep. I have no idea what caused Clemens to react so violently towards his stepson.

Hi all - As I was looking through the book "Lives Lived Here: A Walk Through the History of Sauk City," by Myrtle W. Cushing and Michael J. Goc, I read the stories of Clemens Hertner's attacks on his stepson Andrew Tarnutzer (p. 188). Andrew Tarnutzer is a distant cousin. My ggg-grandmother was Christina Tarnutzer, who was briefly in Sauk County in the 1850s where she met and married Johannes Johanni. After the marriage they moved to Brown County Minnesota. Clemens Hertner may be a relative of mine also as there were a number of settlers from Jenins in Graubünden, Switzerland, who lived in Sauk Co. These included Johannes Johanni and his Senti cousins. The Hertner family is also numerous at Jenins, including some Clemens Hertners. I have had some difficulty in spotting Clemens Hertner in any of the available public records for Sauk Co. Does anyone know more about him or this story? I would appreciate some pointers to this interesting, if unfortunate, incident. Regards, Mike Hobart Salt Lake City, UT

I thought I remembered a connection....and finally have found in my files references to BEESON family in Dodge County. This is on my husband's side of the family, and all I have is info on a family pedigree chart submitted to State Historical Society to document WI century certificate back in the 1970's. Regardless...thought I would pass this on, with reference to source, in case this might help anyone. The pedigree chart in question shows a Dr. Henry BEESON and Mary SMITH as parents of Sarah A. BEESON, born in Ohio in 1857. Sarah married Silas REYNOLDS, born Dec. 1830 in Warren Co. PA on Dec. 28, 1857. He died 1912 in S. Byron...She died 1912, Byron WI and is buried in Brownsville (Dodge) WI. Their daughter, Eltie Grace REYNOLDS married Amos William SAMPSON ..Dodge and Fond du Lac counties their locations. This info was obtained from SHSW archives in Madison on "Pioneer or Century Family Application" from Elta Ruth Sampson Mingus...call number in archives, 1289. Hope this may help someone researching BEESON. Martha Panetti in St. Louis, Missouri > > > >
