The areas of interest in Waukesha County are Vernon, Mukwonago, and New Berlin. Surnames of interest are SCHMEAR, SCHMEER, ROGERS, FRANCIS, SCHIFFMAN(N), WINTRATH (plus a host of variations on that spelling), BRUNNER, SCHNEIDER, REINVANDT or REINWANDT(? spelling unknown). Through marriages of various ancestors, I have ties to surnames such as KLUG, GUNKEL, GIMLER, RENNER, SONNENBERG, WERTZ, and yet another SCHNEIDER. There are plenty more, but these are some of tha main surnames. With the exception of SCHMEAR, who arrived in Waukesha in 1882, the rest of these ancestors were all in the Waukesha County area between 1840 and 1850.

H. and J. Howard had farms in Brookfield (atlas plat maps of 1859 & 1873). Across the road from Alec Lawrence and Augustus Springsted (wife's father). Were these your Howards? Alec's brother's middle name was Howard. They were in western NY before WI by 1850. VT before that. Looking for ggggrandmother(?) Howard. Marj The platmaps include: (Kent), Leonhardt, Lawrence, Wand, James, (Hoan?), Howard, Rathbun, Osburn, Breed, Tew, Bacon, Higgins, Phillips, Root. Info to share.
