Susan, are you related to these Carlins? I descend from John Carlin who was brother to Fisk Carlin's grandfather William. This John Carlin married Ann James, daughter of Morgan and Ann James, who have been harder to trace. Fred Carlin is currently putting what I have found on these Carlins on his website. His work in progress can be viewed at www.attorney.carlin.net/septs/waukesha.htm if you're interested. We would be grateful for any additional information or corrections on these Carlins or any Carlins who were early settlers in Wisconsin.

I checked the interrment list for the following cemeteries in the Welsh area for Morgan James: Salem Jerusalem Ottawa Tabernacle Genesee Bethel Of these, only Jerusalem has his name on the list, and it is for the date previously mentioned. The list for Jerusalem has many grave numbers indicated, however, his entry is absent any number. I looked for his family members on the listing of James, and again, no more entries. In the Genesee interrment list I found entries for Carlin, Christopher 22 Apr 1821 to 26 Jun 1858, and Carlin, Elizabeth, wife 11 Mar 1822 to 23 Mar 1870. David Jones

Robin, that would be great, thanks so much. Morgan's wife was named Ann b. 1802 d. 1870-1880. I hope the tombstone(s) offers some closer dates. Thanks for your help.

Susan, thanks for all the information, this is helpful. I am now fairly certain that death date belongs to my Morgan and I will try to get a death certificate. Now, does anyone know the proper agency from which to obtain a copy of a will. I would be interested in this information for all my ancestors who died in Waukesha (or elsewhere in Wisconsin for that matter). I can't look myself as I live in CA. The Waukesha Historical Museum sent me everything they had on the Jameses and Carlins and the County website (register of deeds) doesn't specifically mention wills although I have used them for marriage and death certificates. Can anyone send me to the right place? Thanks, Leslie P.S. - if anyone has an index for Jerusalem Cemetery, I am still looking for some dates for Morgan's wife Ann James who would most likely be buried with him there (I believe she died between 1870 and 1880). Or even an address I could use to write to them. -----Original Message----- From: SAA4770@aol.com [mailto:SAA4770@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 7:04 PM To: WIWAUKES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WIWAUKES] Morgan James In a message dated 12/11/2001 11:28:58 AM Central Standard Time, jensen6@pacbell.net writes: > I'm searching for some information about my GGGgrandfather Morgan James who > lived in Waukesha Co.

It has nothing to do with his date of death. You can sign a will the same day as you die (if you are competent) or you can sign one years before you die. Valid wills do not expire although a change in the testator's (writer of the will) circumstances can cause the provisions of the will to have a different effect or even no effect. For example, a marriage with subsequent children of the marriage can invalidate a previously valid will. Thats probably more than you wanted to know but who knows you may someday use it. The probate record dated 12/24/1869 was mostly likely the day someone filed the will with Waukesha County Probate Court together with a petition to the Court asking that the will be admitted to probate and a personal representative of the estate ( or executor ) be appointed. The pers. rep. then administers the estate by collecting the deceased's assets, paying his or her creditors, and distributing the remainder of the estate as provided in the will. The date that administration is started has nothing to do with the date of death although it can only occur after the date of death. Prior to that time, a will has no effect. I would guess that the date given to you of June 27, 1869 for the date of death is probably accurate. It can take some time to begin probate today and probably took long in the 19th century. The purpose of probate is to transfer the deceased's assets according to his wishes but not to the exclusion of any creditors. You may want to get a copy of the will and the details of the probate record. Wills have very interesting information in them as the traditional estate plan is to pass one's estate to the objects of one's bounty, close family members. Also if a child is excluded the reason for the exclusion could be in the will. The probate record itself will identify the decedent's heirs at law and everyone mentioned in the will together with their addresses. For a married person in the 19th century, his or her heirs would be spouse, if any, and living children. If there were any deceased children with children then living, those grandchildren of the deceased would also be named as heirs. The probate file will also contain an inventory of the deceased's assets and the value of the individual assets. You can obtain legal descriptions of real estate through these inventories. I hope this info answers some of your questions. Sorry for the length.

Re: George MICHELS: I have been at a dead end with my George MICHELS since about 1980... I have checked on George Michels and found that he first purchased land in the Town of Belgium, which is about 8 miles north of Port Washington. He got the land through a land patent from the United States Bureau of Land Division. He later sold the land and purchased land in the Thiensville area. Next he bought land in what became West Granville (near Timmerman Field) Milwaukee County..this eventually went to his daughter/son-in-law, Elizabeth MICHELS and Henry JONEN. I believe he is the George MICHELS who drown in the Rock River in Jefferson County on November 18, 1860. His body "was returned to relatives in Jefferson". He is not buried in any cemeteries in Jefferson. I found an obituary in the Waukesha Freeman for a George MICHELS, Jr. ( I think it was 1909?) anyway, it said that George MICHELS. Jr., son of George MICHELS died of pneumonia and was buried in Busse Cemetery (Pilgrim's Rest), in Pewaukee. I walked the whole cemetery but did not find him. I asked the sextant, but he said that records of the old burial plots were not kept.. HAS ANYONE ENCOUNTERED GEORGE MICHELS IN THEIR RESEARCH IN WAUKESHA COUNTY? His daughters married at either St. Martins Catholic Church or St. Anthony's Catholic Church--he is not buried at either of those cemeteries, either. I have tried the newspapers in gthe Watertown and Jefferson area--there is one, the WELTBURGER (on microfilm at the Watertown Public Library), which is written in German script--it may have something in it, but I cannot read German Any info/suggestions appreciated, Thank you, Susan apetta@netwurx.net

I'm searching for some information about my GGGgrandfather Morgan James who lived in Waukesha Co. (Ottawa Township) in 1850, moved to Waushara Co. (Springwater) by 1860, and then returned to Waukesha before he died. I have been able to assemble this information about him. He was born in Wales about 1797, came to the US in August of 1846. He married Ann ??, also born in Wales. Their children all born in Wales were Ann (my GG)b. 1825 who married John Carlin, twins Mary and Richard b. 1833, Thomas b. 1835 and Catherine (Cate) b. 1837. In 1850, Mary, Richard and Thomas were working and living at neighboring farms. Both sons died in the Civil War. The Waukesha Historical Society and Museum sent me his probate record dated 12-24-1869 in which he names wife Ann, and daughters Ann, Mary and Cate. His will was executed on 4-25-1866 (does this mean he died in 1866 or 1869?) The Museum also sent this information James R. Morgan (I think they reversed the names) born 1789, died June 27, 1869, buried Jerusalem Cemetery. I believe some of the conflicting birth date information is because there was another Morgan James in Waukesha. Does anyone have access to obits, death records, or cemetery lists who could help me figure out the correct date of death for my Morgan. I am also interested in finding what happened to Mary and Cate - who they married and info on their descendants. Is anyone familiar with this family? Thank You Leslie Jensen

IMary The Waukesha Freeman began publishing on March 29, 1859 as a weekly. I checked for the first four issues following the July 15, 1864 date of death you provided for Timothy Hughes but without any luck as well as the index for the Freeman. I also checked another paper, the Waukesha County Democrat, but nothing. The 1880 history of Waukesha County yielded nothing. The probate index was also empty. Do you have any other information regarding Timothy Hughes? Where in Waukesha County did he live? Regarding your question about obits for infants or stillborn children, I would be truly shocked if I saw one. There were so few published during this time period for adults that it is highly unlikely there would be any published information about a private family matter. Where in Michigan do you live? The Downings came to Waukesha from Branch and St. Joseph Counties. Sorry I did not have any news. Susan

Lorrie The Waukesha Freeman began publishing on March 29, 1859. Waukesha also had a number of other papers during this period which published for short periods of time. It appears that one of the most successful of these other papers was the Waukesha County Democrat. I checked both the Freeman and the Democrat for an obituary of Nelson Howard but did not find one in either paper. During this time period both papers were primarily filled with canned material from out east and local ads. The Freeman is indexed until about 1880. I also checked the index for reference to a Nelson Howard. There were a number of Howards listed. A Howard family was quite prominent in the Town of Lisbon but came to Lisbon in the 1870's from England. I also check the 1880 History of Waukesha County but again without success. The story is not over. The index of probate records for Waukesha County lists petition for administration being filed for Nelson Howard on December 31, 1854. You have a date. The copy of this record is available at the Area Research Center of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin at the Golda Meir Library at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. You can contact them by going to the website for the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and looking into area research centers. I will also try and check at Prairie Home Cemetary. Although a grave there may be unmarked, the cemetary maintains a list of the names and certain details of the burials. ( I found out about my mother-in-laws three siblings who died as infants this way). The Cemetary may be able to provide the actual date of death for Nelson Howard. Its records may also show family members who are buried close by and through their obituaries or other biographical materials, further details about Nelson may become available. Hope this helps Susan

Deanna I checked the Waukesha Freeman for an obit of Herman Stark but had no success. News from Mukwonago in the various issues of the Freeman mentioned other personas with the last name of Stark. Also, I check the index for the Waukesha County Register in Probate. An estate for a Herman Stark is listed but it is in the 1960's. Do you have any other information to go on? Susan

Susan, I need to look at Freemans for obits when I am in Wisconsin later this month. Can you tell me where you accessed this archive? Also, are the probate records at the Milwaukee Urban Archives for Waukesha County, or what? Indexes to probate records? Thanks for the info. Penny Ziemer Ford

- U.S. National Archives Mail Delivery Suspended The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 2001 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re-published here with the permission of the author. Have you requested a copy of Passenger Arrival records or Pension Applications or Military Service Records from the U.S. National Archives? If so, you can expect an extended delay before receiving copies of the records in the mail. The problem is the recent anthrax scare. The following is an announcement from the National Archives and records Administration's Web site at: http://www.nara.gov/research/mailalert.html We have received several comments and questions from researchers about the status and safety of orders being mailed in and out of NARA's Washington, DC area offices. These are the facts as we know them: 1. Mail delivery to Archives I (700 Pennsylvania Ave, NW, Washington, DC) was stopped on October 23rd, due to the discovery of anthrax at the Brentwood mail distribution center, and the Archives I mailroom was closed. 2. Archives I was swept for anthrax contamination and the findings were negative. No anthrax was found. The mailroom, however, has not reopened and until it does, no completed orders are being mailed to customers. These orders include all of the NATF 81 through 86 requests (Passenger Arrival, Census, Eastern Cherokee Applications, Land Records, Pension Applications, and Military Service Records). 3. Orders that were in the Brentwood mail distribution center at the time the center was closed, and other orders addressed to Archives I immediately after the closure will be delayed. 4. Orders addressed to Archives II (College Park, MD) were not affected by the closing of the Brentwood mail distribution center. College Park is serviced by a different mail distribution center. We ask your patience and understanding during this emergency. As soon as we have updated information, we will post it to this web page.

Hello Listers, 7 December 2001 I added the addresses and websites of many of the Towns & Villages to the Town Section. I added the History of Fussville, Lannon Springs, Menomonee Falls, and Town of Menomonee. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wiwaukes/townships.html There are a lot of surnames listed in the history. Eventually I will index all of the histories so it will be easier to find the surnames throughout the site. Something I hadn't realized before, Menomonee Falls originally was of Irish ancestry, by 1880 it was primarily German.
