JEWELL, SMALLEY

Lisa Smalley Mon Jun 26 2000 11:55 am
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?

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!!!

BARBER, FLEHARTY, KING, SPRAGUE

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.

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?

CLIFTON, HEATON, HENNESSY, ROOT

Peggy Sours Sat May 13 2000 10:57 am
I'd like to know more about THOMAS HEATON, his wife THERESA (HENNESSY), and their children ALVARIUS, CLARA BELLE, and ALONZO while they lived in the Wyalusing/Patch Grove area during the years approximately 1860 through 1910. Thomas was a "master carpenter", as was his brother, JACOB HEATON (wife HARRIET), who was also in the area in 1860.

ALONZO married ESTELLA ROOT. Their daughter, LILLIAN HEATON married HARLEY B. CLIFTON.

ALVARIUS & ALONZO moved to WY about 1900, but Theresa stayed in Grant County (according to census records).

I'd like to hear more about "their story" of life during that time, if you should know! Are you a descendant of Thomas or Jacob Heaton???? Do you happen to know when/where THOMAS or THERESA HEATON died, were buried?
