I understand this church no longer exists and am trying to locate a publically accessible copy of the records of the church. Does anyone know of a library, govt. or church office that makes them available in any format?

Hi, I was in Salt Lake City recently and was able to find a copy of my grandparents registration for marriage. I was unable to make a very clear copy but was able to make out that they were married April 14, 1889 at the Minister of the Gospel Church. What I would like to know is there any information on this church, and if so, could the church records still be viewed? This was in the town of Waukesha. Thank you for any help and/or suggestions Lois

Calhoun Road divides the two sections. I believe there were Carpenters also across Greenfield in the Town New Berlin. Ellen- www.linkstothepast.com/waukesha

I imagine you could start with the plat maps for this time period -- I seem to recall that Carpenters are listed early on. Mine are put away for now and I'm not in a position to pull them out, but I am sure the Waukesha County Historical Society would look them up for you. "The Carpenters lived two houses away from the Quiners, and they were Caroline's favorite neighbors. Father and Mr. Carpenter had settled in Brookfield at the same time and helped clear each other's land and build their log cabins and frame houses..." This family had a son Charlie -- Mrs. Carpenter was named Sarah, according to the book. I feel pretty certain, just from my recollection, that Quiners lived off of Brookfield Road not far north of Calhoun Road. My family lived up the road aways, farther north in Brookfield, starting in 1858.

I have an Ernest Raebel, son of Ernest and Louisa (Birkholz) Raebel, a carpenter born in Germany - he married Mina Borchardt, dau. of Charles and Mina Borchardt on 11/24/1871. There were no Raebel/Roebels shown on the 1860 or 1870 census for West Granville. I didn't find the name Teichmann in Mimi Bird's Granville books. Do you have a time frame - he may have been there before or after the dates in the book - or could the spelling be varied? I have a William Theilman as a witness to a wedding in 1869. Vikki

Their 2 known son's were William Andrus b. 1829 and Calvin b. 1835. Lucy's sister was Eliza Pratt Vrooman, wife of William, who apparently settled in Waukesha County in 1848. When Calvin Andrus, the son of Hiram and Lucy was mustered out of the 23rd WI Infantry in 1865 he first went to Oconomowoc. Could Hiram and Lucy have been there in 1865? Was Calvin simply visiting Aunt Eliza and Uncle William? Was Calvin's wife Sally Ann Aldrich Andrus there with him? Was brother William there? Is there any way of answering any of these questions? I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might be able to help me out. Thanks very much, Patrick Andrus

There's a mention of Allen being married to Prudy but otherwise all the information listed is about the Cheneys. HARRY B. CHENEY, farmer, See. 33; P. O. Prospect Hill; born in the town of Alexander, Genesee Co., N. Y., Feb. 12, 1815; son of the Rev, Rufus and Pruday (Piper) Cheney (see sketch of John Cheney). Harry B. Cheney married, in Attica, Wyoming Co., N. Y., June 20, 1835, Miss Saloma F. Hamlin, who was born May 14, 1815, in the town of Otisfield, Maine; during the next few years they resided in New York and Pennsylvania; Mr. C. made his first visit to Wisconsin in 1840, his father then giving him 80 acres of his New Berlin farm; returning to New York, he came up the lakes in a sailing vessel in June, 1842, himself and family landing at Milwaukee, June 16; his means were very limited, so that after his settlement on Sec. 32, New Berlin, he was obliged to pay half on a $14 cow by turning in a pair of boots; his home for a number of years was in a board-roofed shanty, minus chamber floors; the ax swung by Harry B. Cheney in early times cleared many an acre of the dense timber aroun! d him, though his family saw much of pioneering while living beside the Big Spring on the farm which he cleared; sixteen years later he sold out and settled in Rochester, Racine Co., where he made a good record and held town offices; in 1869 he sold again, and went to Ottawa Co., Mich., residing there four years; then spent three years in the village of Rochester, settling on his present farm of 57 acres in 1877; on this he has built a most pleasent home, where he overlooks the scene of his pioneer labors; Mr. C, also owns a 19-acre fruit farm in Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. Cheney have an only daughter, Pruday P., who married Allen Marten, a native of England and now a resident of Rochester; Mr. and Mrs. C. lost two children – Susan A., who died aged 36, and Henry B., died in infancy, from an accidental fall. The old couple are Free Baptists, and enjoy the fruits earned during well-spent lives. Mr. Cheney is a sturdy and outspoken Republican.
