KNUTSON
My mother asked me to find out what I could online relating to where her ancestors: Knut and Anna (Grove) Knutson might be buried. Knut was born in 1796 in Roldal, Norway. Anna Grove was born in 1800 also in Roldal. They came to America in 1864. Mauston, Lisbon, Benoit Wisconsin are some places they are known to have been. Their children mostly lived around Mauston, WI. We think they came first to Benoit. Children were: Ingeborg (1829) m. Lars Artun; Haakon (1822) m. Kari Nilson; Odd(1824) m. Metta; Anna (1826); Nils (1836) m. Margarete Meland; Knut (1836) m.Gertrude Hara; Tore K.(1839) Do you have any information on any of these Knutsons?

TUCKER
Searching for George Henry TUCKER. He was a photographer living in Mauston around 1880 where his son, Franklin, my grandfather, was born 1880-81. GHT left for Kansas around 1886. His parents, whose names I don't have , but would like too, evidently lived in Milwaukee, where GHT was raised after being born in St. Lawrence county, NY, in 1854. There also seems to be an unconfirmed connection to CLAFTON, which may be GHT's mother's maiden name. Appreciate any help; my gggrandparents names and history have eluded several people who have been looking. My e-mail address is: [email protected]. Gene Tucker Dec 8, 1998

The John SMITH listed as an early settler (1847), does anyone have any more information on him or his famliy? He is my g g grandfather, I have a death certificate from the state but little else.

My gg grandfather John Smith resided in Juneau Co., I believe Mauston. He is buried in Mauston with the Heath family. He came to the area in abt 1847. He died Oct 16, 1897. John was married to Mary Ann Pierce Smith. He came from NY, where he was born.

My g grandfather Benjamin L. Smith was born in New Lisbon, Juneau Co., WI, March 20, 1860. I have the family 1860 US Census living in Fountain, Juneau.
Mary Ann PIERCE brother, John B. PIERCE also lived in Fountain, Juneau Co.
Benjamin L. SMITH married Caroline M. HANSON, b: April 9, 1867, Crawford Co., Soldiers Grove, according to an obituary I have. They were married (Ben and Carrie) Sept. 19, 1885, again according to Carrie's obit, in New Lisbon, WI. Carrie's parents, Jens Andreas HANSON and Gunhild Bjoerkholdt VOGEN both of Norway (I think!).

John and Mary Smith had 11 children most of whom were in Juneau Co., Hope this helps, I would just like to see if there is an obit in Local papers for any family members or find any living relatives. Many thanks for your interest and your time!!! Paul Smith

In the GLO WI land record CD, I find that my ggf, Traverse SEXTON acquired 134.56 acres in Sec 31 Twp 14N Range 4E on 01/06/1858. Can anyone tell me where in the county that is? I have not figured out how to print the maps or the documents from the CD.Secondly, is there anyone out there who might do a lookup of Traverse as Grantor and as Grantee in that area. I would like to find out exactly where that land is, from whom he purchased it, and to whom he sold it and when. I'll be happy to reimburse for time and materials. Thanks in advance.
