I'm looking for the descendents of Rachel Nicholson and Annie Montague who both lived in Reserve, Brown County, Kansas in the late 1800's, early 1900's.

I know that Rachel (1867 - 1932) is buried in Cornelison Cemetery, Padonia Township with her husband Joseph (1863-1902). They had two daughters, Minnie Nicholson and Jennie Nicholson whom I know nothing further about.

Annie (1865-1936) is buried in Hiawatha Cemetery, with her husband John (1862-1901) two daughters Louisa and Mary and a son called Charlie.

I know what Annie had another daughter by the name of Blanche Montague who was named in the will of Hannah Martin who lived in Tecumseh, Johnson County, Nebraska.

Rachel, Annie and Hannah were all daughters of Elias Jones (my Great Great Grandfather) who emigrated to from Wales to Nebraska in mid 1800's.

Enquiries in Nebraska have turned up nothing. I've recently discovered the burial places of the Nicholsons and Montagues (above) but would like to know if anyone has any ideas on what happened to Minnie and Jennie Nicholson and Blanche Montague. Who did they marry? Did they have children? If they did, then they may have living grandchildren about the same age as me (36) and I would be interested in contacting them.

Many thanks
Ian Jones
