BING and Joel C. GRAY. She is the daughter of Charles Hale BING and Barbara LOUCKS. Charles Hale BING is my Great-Great-Grandfather who came to Butler County, Kansas after 1880 and before 1896 from Ohio to Cowley County, Kansas then to Butler County. Would like to know if anyone has marriage dates of his children. Charles Hale BING died 1916 at Latham, Kansas. -------------------------------- EVANS...HARRISON...NIXON...COX Mala Buck (daughterofsouth@yahoo.com) 20 December 2004 Does anyone have any information on the following: Jack EVANS who married Emma HARRISON, or their son, James Howard EVANS, (born July 4, 1882 in Kansas and died May 8, 1956 in El Dorado, Kansas), who married Fannie May NIXON -------------------------------- BLEVINS...LINN Brian Ford (bluemoonjewelrydesigns@att.net) 29 November 2004 On June 11, 1873 the first wife of my ancestor, John BLEVINS, died in childbirth. Family legend says she was buried in El Dorado, Butler County, Kansas, but no actual cemetery is noted. Her name was Stella May (LINN) BLEVINS. I am hoping to locate her gravesite. -------------------------------- COOK...BOLTON...BROWN Gene Bruner (gene@rallstech.com) 10 November 2004 Brothers, Charles, b: 20 April 1877, and Edward, b: 18 September 1878 were born in Butler County, Kansas to Edward COOK, b: 10 February 1849, and Nancy Jane BOLTON, b: 12 February 1854 (daughter of, James and Elsie (THORNE) BOLTON) who were married 6 April 1876 by I.A. NEWKIRK, JP, in Leon, Butler County, Kansas. Further, it is interesting that Edward's elder brother, Charles COOK, b: 17 December 1846 married Frankie H. BROWN, b: 1859 on 30 April 1876 in Leon, Butler County, Kansas by the same Justice of the Peace. Edward and Charles would die in Butler County under questionable circumstances within eight days of each other in December 1879. I wonder if anyone has these names in their family tree research? -------------------------------- PEPPER...HOPKINS...FARIS Charlotte Nossaman (ecnoss@ptsi.net) 23 October 2004 I would appreciate any information on the following relatives. Are they buried in Augusta, Kansas? Jessie Annabelle PEPPER John Franklin PEPPER Elisabeth Isabelle (HOPKINS) PEPPER Harris HOPKINS Elisabeth (HORNER) HOPKINS Edward FARIS Sarah (TIGNER) FARIS -------------------------------- BOYER...WINTERS Jeffrey Vaillant (jeffreyvaillant@hotmail.com) 15 October 2004 I am interested in Philip David BOYER who was born about 1830 in Indiana and married Harriet (TROTTER) WINTERS about 8 August 1872 in Jeffersonville, Clark County, Indiana. I believe she is buried in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas, perhaps dying about 1873-76. There is a Philip D. BOYER in the 1880 census for Pleasant, Butler County, Kansas who is a 50 year old widower living with son, Harvey, 18, born in Indiana and son, Paul W., 7, born in Indiana. Since Harriet was married prior to BOYER and perhaps BOYER was married prior to Harriet (since there is an 18 year old son), maybe I have the correct BOYER in Kansas. -------------------------------- WILKINSON Douglas L. Wilkinson (dwilkinson11@cox.net) 11 October 2004 Actually I was looking for information on the community of Chelsea. My Great-Grandfather, John homesteaded there in 1866 after emigrating from Illinois after the deaths of his wife, (Jane), and children. He is buried at Reece if it matters. I believe Chelsea must be under the lake now. I drove past there as a child in the early 60s, but all I remember was that it was between Cassoday and El Dorado on old 177. Any information about the community would be helpful. -------------------------------- NEFF Doris Smith (dormarbil@yahoo.com) 26 September 2004 I am searching for living first cousins: Sammy, Judy Ann and Peggy Lee NEFF. The girls will have married names, which I don't know. They are the children of my mother's brother and sister-in-law, James F. "Jimmy" and Judy (Julia VEACH) NEFF. The last time I heard anything about these cousins, Judy Ann's surname was LEIGHTON, and Peggy Lee's was BIEBERLE. October 9th in Austin, Texas there is a reunion of the children of Sam and Kin NEFF, Robert and Lillian NEFF, and Maxine (NEFF) WILLIAMS. We would like to be able to at least visit on the phone with our Kansas first cousins. I am the daughter of Maxine (NEFF) WILLIAMS. -------------------------------- KNUST P M (millstone2@mindspring.com) 26 September 2004 Looking for ancestors of Frank KNUST. -------------------------------- OLDS...SCOTT Judy North (judyleenorth@yahoo.ca) 9 September 2004 Trying to find information on George Oliver OLDS, b: 1903, married to Edna M.
