Query: My Great Aunt Adeliza Ann Munns married Thornton B. Wolfe in Atchison County, Ks. at Good Intent, Ks. They moved to Decatur county about 1882. He became the Superintendent of Schools in 1888. I have a list of their children from the 1885 and 1895 census. I do not have any birth, death dates or burial places for any of this family. I am most interested in dates for those available from Decatur county cemetery lists. Most interested in the parents and then any you have easily available. Addie's family all seem to follow them to Oberlin according to the census. George L. and Daisy Munns Gulliams m. Dec. 1893 Joseph and Laura Belle Munns Green m. Mar 7, 1894 at Netawaka, Jackson County Ks. Frederick Munns b. 12 Feb., 1818 Fen stanton, Huntingtondon, England Their nephew: Austin Dodd b. April 10, 1889 to Alma and Elizabeth Munns Dodd in Neuchatel twp. Nemaha County, Ks. Elizabeth died soon after in Nemaha county and the Munns and Green family raised Austin. He married Anna Coldren in Oberlin, Ks. They moved to Pierce county, Washington. I would be glad to pay a modest fee for research, copies and mailing or to do an exchange look up in Sedgwick, Butler or Sumner County for someone who needs help. I do volunteer lookups for the Midwest Historical and Genealogy Society here in Wichita. We have all the Ks. censuses here and all the indexes and Soundex. I am most interested with births, deaths and marriages for these families. For one generation down from Addie, Daisy and Laura. Then any Births to Austin and Anna Dodd while they were in Decatur county. A death date for Fred Munns and settlement of estate, or will. I doubt that I will be interested in Deeds or Wills of the others. I will order in a plat map for the property owned from the Ks. State Hist. Soc. but I am not a direct descendant so the Wills and ect. except as pertain to any but Austin Dodd are not important. He was probably mentioned in Joseph or Laura's will as they adopted him as their child. At least they tried. I have the records on the adoption and the Legal Guardian records. If you know any of his descendants in Washington State or anywhere I would love to correspond with them. I have lots of information to share on the Dodd family. My maiden name was Dodd and Austin was the next brother just younger than my dear Grandfather Thomas Dodd who never lived in Decatur county to my knowledge. The Munn family Fred, Addy, Daisy, Laura and, the oldest my Great Grandmother Elizabeth, were children of Daniel Munns. and his two wives. They immigrated from England in 1857 with the LDS church. Thank you for reading this long epistle. Any help accepted and let me know if I can help you. Sincerely, Kathy Long |
