Hi!
I'm trying to locate more information about the siblings of John W.
Williams, a physician from Highland or Clinton County, Ohio (16 Jan 1847-
5 Feb 1913) who died in Galena, Cherokee Co., KS. A Civil War veteran,
John's pension record at the National Archives mentions his brother,
Daniel Williams, aged 62, living at Foresman, Newton Co., IN, in 1913.
Also a sister, Maggie Richardson (no age given), living at Brook, Newton
Co., IN in 1913. Does anyone have access to a county history or cemetery
book to see if these two appear. Thanks for your help!

I am interested in a family: Albert & Nellie ? Cleveringa and their
seven or so children. They had a farm in Lake Village - and should be in
the cemetery at Lake Village.
They may have come about 1900 or just after that - from Chicago.
I would appreciate any information that might be available from any
source: census, death, birth, or marriage records, cemetery inventories,
etc.
Thanks

I am looking for information on a Reason HOWELL. I know that he married
a Mary HELMICK at Shelby County, Ohio in 1846, and he is listed
in the LaPorte County 1860 Census, age being listed then as 43.
Mary died in Morocco, Indiana in 1901, and was listed then as
a widow. We do not know anything about Reason between the 1860
census listing and when his widow died. He may have lived in the
Porter County area between those years. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.

I am looking for any and all descendants of George and Maria E. Meadows.
Maria's maiden name was Hamman. They were married in Newton County on
January 19,1866. They lived their entire lives in Morocco Indiana. They
had five children: Luellen Jane (my great grandmother), Margaret who
married into Mr. Dowling, Richard, Arch and Harry. George died on may
26, 1923. I have two dozen or so family pictures which I believe are of
the Meadows. I am happy to share these with any one who can help
identify them.
