I beleive that Lillian SMALLEY was in Grant co., WI in 1902. Does anyone know
if she was or who she may have married. She was the daughter of Samuel Cruise
SMALLEY and Julia Ann JEWELL who settled in Nebraska.
Could there have possibly been a school that Lillian may have attended in Grant Co at that time?

I'm looking for information on Hannah Wells, she married Amos Chase.
They came up from Lewis county, Missouri. Their daughter Mary E.A
married John Barr and they lived in Glen Haven area. Hannah's death
record stated she died at her daughter's home and was buried at
Wintersett. Mary E.A had a brother George and Lucius. Any information on
any of this family would be appreciated. Also I'm wondering where
Wintersett would be, if its a cemetery or a town. The only Wintersett I
could find was in Iowa over by Des Moines.

HEATON, ROOT
Peggy Sours Fri Jun 2 2000 12:50 am
I'm searching for information about the HEATON family
which was in the Wyalusing area from the 1860s into the 1900 era.
The names in the family are THOMAS (father), THERESA(mother),
sons: ALVARIUS, ALONZO ... and daughter CLARA BELLE.
Thomas seemingly deserted the family in the 1880-90s; ClaraBelle died
in her 20s; Alonzo married Estella Root of Wyalusing; and Alvarius
moved out of the community. I only have "bits & pieces" and would
love to hear whatever information you can add to this family's existence
in the Wyalusing/Patch Grove area!! Do you know when THERESA
died, or where she is buried???
Thomas's brother, JACOB & wife HARRIET also lived in the same
area at the time of the 1860 census. Thereafter I have no information
for them, so if you have anything (even a brief mention of them) in some
form, it would certainly help!!!

Bob King Sat May 27 2000 9:54 pm
I am researching KING in Grant County, WI. My ggg grandfather, James KING
obtained land in Grant Co. on July 10, 1839. Several other KING individuals
(including William, Henry and Obed) obtained land in Grant Co. on or about
the same date. I'm assuming they are either James' sons or brothers. I
believe James' wife name was Sophronia BARBER (or SPRAGUE). A John BARBER
obtained land in Grant Co. on July 8, 1839 and Augustus BARBER obtained land
in Grant Co. on July 10, 1839. They could likely be brothers or cousins of
Sophronia. James and Sophronia's son, Philander KING, married Margaret
FLEHARTY, daughter of William Littleton FLEHARTY, who obtained land in Grant
Co. on July 10, 1839 and again on January 5, 1841.
I'll be glad to exchange information with anyone who is also researching
these names.

Looking for infromation on a CHESTER PRATT who married a SARAH JANE WAYNE in

beleived to be burried in Fennimore WI they had a son CHARLES ROCKWELL PRATT
who married a MARY ELEANOR POSEY IN 1894, Charles was born in WI but they
find no birth or marriage record in crawford, since Chester is beleived to be
burried in Fennimore maybe that is where Charles is born and I haven't found
a census for Grant Co so I can't check if they were there. Charles and Mary
moved to ND after they married and had 7 surviving children one of which was
my grandfather. I was also wondering because I was told by my dad that Mary
was Indian maybe they got married on the reservation if so would the county
have records? Anyone with any information?
