I am looking for information on the family of Peleg Marsh born abt 1810-1811who moved to Baraboo, Sauk Co. from Lake Co., IL after 1870. If anyone on this list is working this line, I would like to collaborate with you. RN [email protected]

Does anyone know how/where to find the location of homes from the dwelling number on the old census? I am looking for house #498, family 499 in the 1870 census of Baraboo (name Aaron PETERS and his mother Sarah. I assume in same home on the 1850 Baraboo census with John PETERS, Sarah and Aaron in dwelling 29, family 29.

I have an April 1943 phone directory for Reedsburg, Lime Ridge and LaValle that I can do look-ups in if needed. Mel

Hi, I just found my Linus T. Gilbert in the 1860 Census for Greenfield. He and his wife, Lydia had a son, Willis that was born and died in Wisconsin. They had another son, Edwin that was born in the later part of 1860 in Wisconsin. I have three questions for those familiar with Wisconsin genealogy. 1) Where would deeds from the 1850s and 1860s be filed? They arrived about 1855-6 and left about 1864-5. They were farmers. 2) Is there a place the toddler would most likely be buried? I am wondering if he could be found in a cemetery or if he would likely be buried on the farm. 3) Are births from 1858 and 1860 too early to be recorded anywhere? This family was active in the Methodist Episcopal church in Connecticut before and after they were in Wisconsin. Thanks for any advice. Ginny

Hello, Is there a public library serving Sauk County -- a volunteer on this list who could check some records from 1800's ? One of the few census searches for John W. Megan have brought up an 1860 Wisconsin census record for: Megan, J. W. Sauk Co. P 462 Baraboo Could someone check this information and tell me what it says? And are there any voters registration or city directory references which might elaborate on this particular JW Megan? Know this is Christmas and everyone is busy, would like to know if someone is adding John to their lookups. My John was a two-career man: a "medical" career (I assumed as a physician, but maybe dentist or other?), and then became an ordained American Baptist pastor, mostly in Kansas. While there at Wayside, KS, he became ill and traveled to his daughter's home in Arkansas ; there he died in June 1917. Don't know daughter's name or specific address in Ark. Don't know exact date in June 1917. John WAS married to Susan Pitts formerly of Riga / Monroe County, NY. Susan's birth year was 1844. Thanks for your interest. Gayle Haffner Michigan

For the town of New Buffalo, I'm looking for the details on a listing for Jas Dunlap (James) Should have Lavinia or Lavinda and Hiram with him. Hiram son at age 5, Lav in her 30s. Can anyone help me out here or point me where to look? I'm also looking for 1855, if there was a Sauk Census then. Thanks for any help. Tom Wright

Anyone out there on the List researching these surnames?? Jorgenson/Simons/Christophers/Hovelsrude All are from Hedmark, Norway Thanks, Patsy

Does anyone have access to the Sauk Co., 1855 State census? There is a John Kelley on page 9, Baraboo Twp., and I wonder if he is mine. He had children Martha I. and John R. Kelley and a wife Elizabeth. 1855 KELLEY JOHN Sauk County WI p. 009 Baraboo Is this available online? My John was in Troy Twp. in the 1860 Census. Thanks, Carole

I was just looking at a topographical map of Troy Twp and Cassell Prairie and I see that there is a Deacon Thomas Lake that appears to be east of Long Lake near the Wisconsin River. For whom was Deacon Thomas Lake named? My 2nd great-grandparents, Orison and Isabella Thomas lived on Cassell Prairie from about 1850 until they died in the late 1890s. I would like to know if this lake was named for Orison Thomas. Carole Hammond, Portland, Oregon

Is the 1855 WI State Census online anywhere?

Hello, I've been researching my ggg grandmother Cleora Stickney who married Elijah Wakefield, divorced in 1866 (Vernon co.) then married Henry True in 17 Jan 1869 (Sauk Co.). They apparently parted ways within the year because she is not listed on the census with him & he remarried Margaret Stueber in 1870. This was his third marriage -- he was first married to Kate Cunningham. Cleora's sister, Orra/Orril Addie/Abbey Stickney Ingalls lived nearby in Reedsburg. It seems likely Cleora would have gone to live with her but I can't find evidence of that. Elijah's pension records indicate she died in 1878 in Reedsburg but I can't find where she died or where she is buried. I'd love any information on Cleora, Henry & his wives and Orra Ingalls and her husband Thomas.

Hi, I'm looking for family that went to WI and then returned to CT in 8 years time. In the 1860 WI census index there is a Gilbert listed. I'm not sure if it is my family or not. If someone has the Saulk county census and wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate help in checking out this lead. The index says: L. Gilbert - Sauk County, Greenfield, page 600 I am looking for Linus Gilbert, wife Lydia and some children (Frank for sure). I've found that Linus sometimes looks like Lewis. Thanks for any help.

Check out the what the State Historical Society has put on-line! Actual newspaper articles. For instance, basic search of Baraboo gives 48 articles. It's a work in progress. http://www.shsw.wisc.edu:/wlhba/index.asp

Kathy, Thanks for checking the Spring Green cemetery records for me. I guess if there wasn't a Presbyterian Church in the area in 1860 then they probably went to the Congregational Church. I'll bet the Lutheran services were in German at that time. I have found Martha Kelley's inlaws, Orison & Isabella Thomas, buried in the Prairie du Sac Cemetery so maybe that is where I will find John Kelley. There were other John Kelleys and Kellys in Sauk Co. but at this time I can't tell them apart. In the 1855 WI State Census there was a John Kelley in Baraboo on page 9 but I have not seen the actual record to see if it is him with his Elizabeth, Martha and 10 yr. old John with him. If they did live in Baraboo wouldn't that have been a long way to go courting? Thanks again, Carole >I checked the Spring Green area cemeteries for you and there is not a Kelley >listed at all.

John Kelley came to Sauk Co. in 1850 with his daughter Martha I. Kelley (age 8), son John R. Kelley (age 5) and his 2nd wife Elizabeth. In 1860 his daughter Martha married Phillip A. Thomas from Cassel's Prairie in the Spring Green church and lived in the area until after the Civil War. John Kelley died around 1870 and his wife returned to Ireland. Are there any death records in the area for John? Or cemetery records. He was Presbyterian in Ireland but I don't know what denomination the Spring Green Church was. Is there a kind soul in Sauk Co. who could help me with this? Carole in Portland, Oregon
