I have been searching for many months and for
any descendants of my Grandfather Richard EGGLESTON's sister, Cynthia (EGGLESTON) COLLIER
NORTON. I've typed below what I do know of her son Emerson and his
wife in Smith Co., Kansas. My Grandfather Eggleston was the Osceola, Iowa City Marshall
and Clarke Co., Iowa Sheriff when he was tragically killed on duty in the 22 Nov 1917
Osceola town fire & explosion; family lost touch. I have much of our family
history/genealogy and 7 documented, proven lines of direct descent back to the Mayflower
through my Great Grandfather Alpheus Eggleston and will gladly and freely share with these
descendants if I could find them. All descendants of Cynthia (EGGLESTON) COLLIER (Collier
her first marriage) NORTON (Norton her second marriage) are direct bloodline Mayflower
descendants of Plymouth Governor William Bradford (two descents), John Alden (two
descents), Pilgrim Elder William Brewster, William Mullins, Richard Warren, and Peter
Brown.
Cynthia was born c1853, daughter of Alpheus EGGLESTON
(Alpheus b 4 Jul 1830 Portage Co. OH, d Osceola, IA 9 May 1905, bur. Maple Hill Cem.,and
Mary BEUTELON, d. Osceola, Clarke Co., IA 15 May 1892, bur. Lewis
Cem). Cynthia is among the children (heirs) listed below who are on my Great Grandfather
Alpheus EGGLESTON's estate papers. Cynthia married Jessie COLLIER 14 March 1871 (Jessie
deceased a few years later) in Osceola, Clarke Co., IA,, Cynthia moving to Smith Co, KS.
Cynthia remarried at some point to Hiram J. NORTON. Cynthia (born EGGLESTON) COLLIER
NORTON (or family of), was living with her son Emerson COLLIER and his family (wife &
son Jessie COLLIER b 1894 Kansas), brother-in-law James E. COLLIER on the 1880 Smith Co.
KS Federal Census. Emerson living with wife and son in Smith Co. KS on
the 1895 Kansas State Census. By 1907, Cynthia (EGGLESTON) COLLIER NORTON was living in
Tustin, Orange Co., CA.
If anyone has any information Cynthia (Eggleston) Collier Norton's son
Emerson, Emerson's son Jessie, or their families, please email Jeannie
W. (JWinter588@aol.com).
Thank you so much.
