CLARK, CLARKE, DRONE
Shelley Block Wed Mar 29 2000 8:32 pm
Searching for information on the siblings and parents of Angeline Clark (or Clarke) who married Andrew Washington Drone on January 1, 1860 in Iowa County, Wisconsin. Andrew Drone was a resident of Muscoda, Grant County, Wisconsin, since 1856 when he moved there with his father and siblings from Pennsylvania. He and Angeline (Clark) Drone lived in the Muscoda area after their marriage. Their marriage record indicates Angeline's parents were Justus Clark (born Scotland) and Catherine ? (born New York). Angeline was born in New York circa 1843-1845 and possibly had a brother named Justus Clark who was living in Potosi Village, Grant County, Wisconsin at the time of the 1860 federal census for Wisconsin. There was also a Chester Clark in Grant County who may have been related. Andrew and Angeline's children, all of whom were born in Grant County, were: Katherine, Thomas Jefferson (my g-grandfather), John Justice, Jacob Friedrich, Edward Darian, William O., Frederick L., and Andrew Washington. Angeline died on November 16, 1881 and is buried in the Hickory Flat School Cemetery. Does anyone have information on Angeline Clark Drone's parents and/or siblings? If so, please contact Shelley Block at [email protected].

Hi,
I'm looking for the obituary of Mathias UDELHOFEN. I believe he died July9,
1987 in Beetown, Lancaster or Capsville, WI. His birthdate is April 26,
1881, so that would have made him 16 years old when he died - apparently
struck by lightening. I would like either the obituary or a newspaper
article. His parents were John & Katherine UDELHOFEN (UDELHOVEN).
Thanks for any help you can give.

BUSHNELL, SCHAAP
Bill Phillips Wed Mar 22 2000 12:48 pm
Two BUSHNELL brothers married two SCHAAP sisters in Grant county. Levi Newton BUSHNELL married Johanna SCHAAP and Daniel Willis BUSHNELL married Elizabeth SCHAAP. In addition, I believe Benjamin SCHAAP was born there. All three males ended up as homesteaders in SD. The SCHAAPs came to Holland, MI in 1847 and appear in an 1850 census of Ottawa county. Johanna's father Jan obtained a land patent in Ottawa county, MI i 1850. They next appear in a JoDavis, IL 1860 census. Unless I can find something about when, why and which ones went to WI I have lost them until they appear in SD.

I am researching the TAPPS family. F. and Rosa Brobst Tapps immigrated to
Grant County from Germany in the late 1850s, probably early in 1858. I would
like naturalization information which will give me their birth places and the
passenger ship that they come on, hopefully. Also, Mr. Tapps enlisted in the
47th Wisconsin V I in the Civil War and served until mustered out. I would
like any information on his record that I can get. These people are my

I hope that you can help me. Thank you.

He married Adeline Elledge in 1837 in Pike co, IL.
