I am interested in learning how the town of Kennebec came by its name, when was it first settled ? I have ancestors with the surname of  KENNEBEC(K).

One was located in Sec8/40acres and the otherwas located in Sec17/80acres. Are there any known descendants of these two families still living in the area ? I live in the far
NE part of IL, McHenry County, which is where my Kennebec(k) ancestors settled in 1843. They did have family members in Wis. and Minn. after I came across the town of Kennebec SD, I believe there may be a connection here.  Sandie Schwarz   [email protected]

My dad's name was Shea F. Lindamood.

MIDGUARD - I am researching the Knute MIDGUARD family. There were several who came from Norway in the 1890's. They originally settled in Lake County, South Dakota, and I only now am finding out that several lived in Jones and Lyman counties, homesteading and then apparently buying land. Knute applied for naturalization in Lyman County and I believe that his three daughters died there before 1918 or so. They would be Fern, Gladys and Florence.  "His wife's 1967 obituary states that she and Knute homesteaded near Murdo where they raised cattle and operated an 'inland store. They returned to Sioux Falls in 1918. March 2, 2005


MILLAGE/SATHER
 
searching for info  about the SATHER/MILLAGE families. My grandfather was Edward Sather, b. in Lincoln county. He had two sisters, Anna
and Jennie ( in one note she is referred to as Seina ) we think her birth date was 1875 but we don't know where. There were the three children in the Knute and Jorannd
(or Johanna ) SATHRE family. (spelling originally was Sathre then changed to Sather )   Seems this Seina had 11 or 12 children.  We think Seina m. Silas Millage and 
Anna also m. a Millage. Knute and Jorannd a immig. to the U.S. in 1867 on the ship " Nora " where daughter Anna was born. We know nothing of where Seina--Jennie--
was born.   The only one we have heard about is an Oscar Millage of Brule county who d. Sept. 24,1918 from influenza. Any info will be appreciated. We would like
to contact any living cousins. Thank you, Barbara Larson 1026 Tom St. Vermillion, SD 57069  [email protected]  December 01, 2005

NAVIN -
Do you have an obit for John Navin?  And is this the John Navin who was born about 1840 in Ireland?  Pat Navin is the son, Patrick J., who John lived with
in Presho.  The sad story is that he left a wife and 7 children;  the inspiring story is that she kept the family together and raised them all by herself.  I met her 40-plus years
ago in Seattle, where the family landed, and she was the definition of "spunky"! Thanks, Paula  [email protected] (one of his zillion great-grandchildren)    July 2004

PEYTON
- I am researching my mother Mable Marie Peyton. She was the daughter of Charles and Nellie Peyton early pioneers. All my life my mother told me that she was born March 1, 1915 in Kennebec, Lyman Co.   In my research I find that her older brother, Ralph Eugene Peyton, was born on January 18, 1915. That makes my mother's birth impossible. Any help you can give, or advise where to turn next, would be much appreciated. Thank you, Deb [email protected]

SCHMITZ - My buddy Norbert J. Schmitz aged 18 and from South Dakota, was lost overboard from our ship May 20th 1945, the US Tanker SS The Dalles passing thru Torres Strait. I have tried
numerous sources without success to find Bert's next of kin who I think came from Roswell, Miner County. A John Hallberg Institute for Regional Studies NDSU has given me a clue: 1930 census County,
S.D. enumeration dist 49-19 sheet 3-b lines 53 to 62. My interest is to ensure next of kin receive his medals, perhaps insurance and to give them details of his demise 59 years ago. john r bird P.O. Box 96

I saw in the 1900 census that he was living with Willian and Louisa Dinehart in Lyman County. Did he die in Lyman County? If so when? Did his wife Sybel Waterman Wamsley,
b. February 1830, lived with the Dineharts also? If so did she die in Lyman County and when?  Lewis Wamsley is my 2nd gg-father. Barbara Lutz [email protected]

WARREN/BENEDICT -
Looking for information on Oliver B. (Bert) Warren. He was granted a land patent in 1908 for about 148 acres in Lyman County. If he homesteaded in this land it was probably between 1903 and 1910. He married EthelBenedict in Dec 1904 in Linton, Emmons County, North Dakota. The 1910 Census shows him and his family living in Delmont, Douglas County, South Dakota. I have not found him in the 1900 census but he would have been 16 at the time and probably living with his parents
in Delmont. Any information  appreciated.
