She will e-mail you directly. You are obviously aware then of the "Utter Massacre" in Idaho. There is a book written about it, if you don't have a copy and are interested in it. It is about the specific line you are questioning. Here in Walworth Co, Hannah is most likely buried in Linn, Lake Geneva or Elkhorn with other members of my family. We would be happy to narrow that down for you. The likelyhood of IL is remote. Are you related? Or just interested in the history?

My church, while growing up was on BLOOD street. I later found out Mr. Blood was an early settler, I believe his house is still standing. Sorry I can't give you first name, or more information, I'm in Denver, now. I grew up in the East Troy, Walworth County and Mukwonago, Wauksha County area. These towns are located about 30 miles outside of Milwaukee. I don't know if this will help your research, but it adds to the information on a family name. Cindy

I am really interested in Hannah. Her husband and the children died in Idaho on their way to Oregon. Could she be buried just south of the border in Illinois?

Toetapper, When convenient could you check on the land owned by the Wylie family and Hempsted family in the Spring Prairie area. They came to Walworth County abt 1844. Do the land records give any information other than the description of the land owned?

You gave me the info N1/2 of NE1/4 Sec 1 Twp iN or R18E. I can confirm that this falls into Bloomfield Twp in Walworth County near Wheatland. The plat books at the library only go back to 1873 & they were not listed in that one. Next time I'm at the county I'll check to see if they have older records. Meantime I hope this helps a little.

This is located at 1/2 mile north of Pell Lake on what is now County Trunk U just before the main bend. The school house is still standing and has been converted to a residential home. I know that at one time it was part of the Star Center school district that I live in and the Lake Geneva Regional News had pictures of it when it operated years ago. Not sure how they relate but I hope that this helps fill in some pieces of the puzzle for you.

I believe these four Robinson men are related. Is there anyone on list that descends from any of them? George Hamilton Robinson Charles Hamilton Robinson George Washington Robinson Ebenezer Robinson Jr. In Dec. 1840 a George Hamilton Robinson bought land in Racine Co. In March 1841 Charles Hamilton Robinson and George Washington Robinson, each bought land in Walworth Co. next to each other. George Washington Robinson married Adeline Eaton Caldwell 7 Aug 1839 in Racine Co., their children are born in Troy, Walworth Co. C. H. Robinson is married to a Julia A. Wade, a daughter, Emma J. is born 16 Apr 1846 in Whitewater. In the 1840 census, George H. is in Racine and in the 1842 state census. George W. and Charles H. are in Troy, Walworth Co. Ebenezer Robinson Jr. is in Darien, Walworth. I would appreciate any info on these men. I believe my Eleazer S. Robinson is connected to these. Helen Robinson
