Topic: HELMS - Allen County
From: Steve Burrows kcsteve@sprintmail.com
Date: Sunday, March 26, 2000 04:17 PM
Looking for information on 'Daniel HELMS', and his wife, Grace J. YEAGER.
Daniel HELMS was apparently born in Indiana around the year 1844. He came to Kansas sometime after the age of 14. He may have came with his brothers (Samuel & Isaac), where they joined 3 of their sisters (Nancy, Lucinda & Susan) and their husbands, who apparently had apparently previously moved to southeast Kansas. An older brother (Michael), and possibly younger brothers and sister, (John Henry, Martin D., and Catherine A.); [depending on when they came to Kansas, Martin and Catherine might not have been born yet.], apparently remained in Indiana. Daniel would have arrived in Kansas in 1873 or 1874. The 1850 and 1860 Indiana census shows Daniel, his father, and mother and what are assumed to be, all, his brothers and sisters at that time.
Daniel and his wife Grace, first lived in a simple one room house, located a mile south of the second house, that Daniel later built on the 80 acres (N. 1/2 of S. 1/4, of 16-25-21, in Marmaton Township, Allen County), 3 1/2 miles southwest of Bronson, Kansas. (It is now known as the Old George Broughton farm.)
Daniel and Grace are buried in the 'Old Elsmore Cemetery' in Allen Co, KS.
Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated.

In March of 1870 William DEAL, administrator of the estate of his son Daniel DEAL, applied for Michael KERN to become the guardian of Lafayette DEAL, age 8, son of Daniel DEAL and Martha SETTLES, both deceased. Michael KERN's census entries show he was born Germany abt 1844. His wife Sarah (last name unknown) was born MO abt 1847. Was Sarah related to the Deals or another family that migrated from Morgan Co IN to Allen Co KS? Sharon Mills mills@reliable-net.net
Topic: Deal
From: Sharon Mills mills@reliable-net.net
Date: Friday, January 14, 2000 08:19 PM
I'm writing an article for the Morgan Co (IN) History and Geneology Association on the family of William Deal and Susannah that went from Morgan Co Indiana to Texas, where their county went Confederate c 1860. They therefore went on to Allen Co KS. A son, Daniel Deal, survived the War but died of effects of a head wound in 1870 at Humboldt, Allen Co KS. His oldest son, Lafayette Deal, was placed with a guardian, Michael Kern, a German immigrant, and his wife Sarah. I'm trying to find out Sarah's maiden name, to see if she was related to the Deals in any way. Michael and Sarah were neighbors and may have just been friends to the Deals.
Thanks for any help you can give.
