Please note: a query should not pertain to a known location in Kansas to be posted here.
Looking for info. on Charles F. HAWLEY. Recently found info. that stated he died in Kansas around 1877. Posted a query in Sumner and Republic counties. Charles was married to Nancy Rountree (I am related to Nancy), and had children named Joseph, Mary, Minerva, Charles, Willie and Laura. They lived in Thibodaux, Louisiana around 1830's and Charles worked as a master foundryman. They moved to Louisville, KY around 1851 and was found on the 1860 KY census. In Louisville, Charles pursued his craft as a master foundryman for the Hawley & Billings Co., on Water Street. Found out recently that he became wealthy, but having invested his means liberally in the construction of some steamboats in 1861, which came South and were lost during the war, he lost his wealth. Looking for descendents of Charles and Nancy.

Email: voyager1@thegrid.net My ggrandmother was Catherine Atwood b8/14/1841 in Homer, Il., d7/4/1924 in Downs, KA. She married James Coop 2/18/1864 in Sijourney, Keokuk, Iowa. They had 4 boys and 2 girls. My grandfather Aaron Elijah Coop was b3/14/1868 Keokuk counry,Iowa died 6/16/1923 Hays, KA. It sounds like my ggrandmother was from the same Atwood family.
Looking for ELIZA DAVIS born abt 1847 IL. Also looking for her parents and siblings. Family may have moved to KS. She married Isaac W. Clay of PA. Had 4 children William W. Harry E., Violet Louise (Lucy) and Walter W. Eliza disappeared from her family sometime after 1880. I have a picture of her. Does anyone know this family? Thanks.
I have searched hard for surname FILLEBAUM and can not find it anywhere! I do have a marriage license for Hulda Ellen FILLEBAUM who married Harry Monroe DAVIS on 11-2-1925 in Enid, OK. According to the 1925 license, Hulda was 26 years old, making her birth year 1899. It also states she was from KS.
Harry & Hulda DAVIS, may have been residents of Enid, OK or
somewhere in KS during their 11 year marriage. They divorced
in Enid, Ok in 1936. I would be grateful for ANY information on
the surname FILLEBAUM and/or the above described couple. I
would like to
determine if Harry & Hulda had any children.
Thanks! Marla :)
Hi. I have a copy of an obituary for Almena MCDERMOTT
PROVAN. In it, it states that she died in Beulah, Kansas and
that the funeral services were conducted in the church at
Gerrard, Kan. She was married to Rev. Fred L. PROVAN and
left her husband and 6 children: Ruth, Emelie, John, Marjorie,
Newell, and Harriet. Marjorie is my husband's paternal
grandmother. I am trying to locate where Beulah & Gerrard
Kansas are located. Has the names changed or do they no
longer exist? A search of the US GNIS service produced no
results. Also, I am looking for the death & burial place of Rev.
Fred L. PROVAN. Additional information on this family:
eventually all of Almena and Fred's children ended up in the
foster care system, after living with family for a time. This
family was from Maine, he moved West to preach the Gospel.
I would love to contact others researching this family. Any help
or guidance in researching this information in Kansas would be
greatly appreciated. Until now all of my research has been
mainly in the South. Thank you for your time.

In searching GNIS, I verified Beulah is in Crawford County.
Could Gerrard actually be Girard? If so, that is also in Crawford County.

Thanks Tom. I must have mistyped Beulah. Your right it is there. The only thing that I can think of for Gerrard is that the town's name was changed in it's spelling or the town no longer exist.

My great grandfather's sister Hagar FOREMAN was born near Cambridge, England about 1862. She married Sparham SPARK(E)S in Cambridge in 1884. They had 10 children (7 daughters and 3 sons) and at some time emigrated from England to Kansas. I do not know where in Kansas or the year though the likely period is between 1890 and 1910. Does anyone recognise this family or can anyone advise how I might start trying to locate them and any descendants.
Many thanks

Seeking information about my great-grandmother, Annie (Blevins) Conley. Annie was born in 1885 in Christian County MO, daughter of George W and Parzetta Blevins. She left home at a young age and moved to Kansas. Annie resided for a time in Paola KS. She may have worked at the Elms Hotel. Died around 1952 in or around the Kansas City area. Not sure if it was Kansas City KS or MO. My family has almost no info on this person, so anything will be of great value. Thanx so much in advance.
Was there an Independence in Crawford, Miami or Linn Counties KS?? I received my grandfather's death certificate today via snail mail. It ties him to the LONG clan back to Ware LONG Sr in Culpepper Co VA in 1720's. Shows Edward LONG born to David LONG and Mary HOUGH on Jun 20, 1879 in Independence Ks. Mary did not marry David until May 16, 1886 in Trading Post Ks. I assume lived together as his 2nd wife, Mahaleth Dixon Baker LONG did not divorce him until mid 1880's but she had been in Oklahoma with her and David's children. Trying to figure what county to search in and post queries. Thanks Bob Long sbear5360@aol.com

Hello list members I apologize if some of the following seems long-winded and may be redundant to some, but never the less I ask you to bear with me. Virgil D. Miller Kansas & Mississippi
I was looking back on notes I had made during census microfilm reviews, and decided that I might as well but this info on the Young-L list while it was fresh in my mind.
We have been looking for ways to locate the documentation of correct place of birth and the place of death of my G Grandmother Lora (Laura) C. Young Holden for many years.
The death certificate of her daughter Elle Ide Holden Welsh indicates that her mother Lora(Laura) C. Young Holden was born in Elgin, Ill. >From the 1880 Kansas Census, it indicates she was 21 and born in Ill, This would have her being born in 1858/60.We have never found the names of Lora(Laura) C. Youngs Parents.
Lora(Laura) was the wife of James F. Holden (Son of Elijah Holden from 1830's PA) who was born in 1856 in Wisconsin, was in Whiteside Co., Ill 1860 & 65 Census with parents, Elijah & Eleanor Holden, in Jefferson Co., Iowa 1870 census. James F. Holden age 24 and Lora(Laura) C. Holden age 21 were listed in The 1880 Census, Marshall Co. KS., Clear Fork twp, Two Children, Sidney F. age 4 and Daniel E..age 5/12, Also Elijah & Eleanor was in Same County. They all seem to disappear after that time.
Our grandmother Ella Ide Holden Welsh the daughter of Lora(Laura) C. Young Holden, was the third child in the family to have been born in 1885, married our Grandfather John William Welsh in 1903, Pottawatomie Co. Ks. We have a copy of this marriage record, but it listed her name as Nellie Holden and being born in Randolph, Ks., which we have been unable to document. Death records show Decatur Co. Ks as place of birth, however neither places have been confirmed. The next documented source for the Holden family is 1900 Census Nebraska, Burnett Co. showing James F. Holden married 2 yrs, with four additional Children next to last born in 1898 mother would have been Lora(Laura) C. Young Holden's, she was not listed in this census.James and Lauras other minor child Ella Ide Holden, showed up as enumerated with a Minister in Norfolk, Nebr as a servant. Norfolk being just north of Douglas County, Nebr. Sidney and Daniel were not listed in the census.
Effie A., Wife, 18 yrs of age, married 2 yrs, mother of 1 child, 1 child living and having been born in Iowa. The Child Stella L. was born Aug 1899 Born in Nebr. This would mean that Lora(Laura) C. Young Holden would have died Shortly after Her last child (Lucy O.) was born in July 1898 in Kansas.
These two lived in Kansas sometime between 1880 - 1890. Several cities are listed in a book of guests. These include Garden City, Leesburg, Richland, Panther Spring, Macksville. They may have been home steading and I am trying to find where they resided in Kansas. I am not able to locate most of these cities.

I don't know if U All saw my summons for help for the missing Parentage of ORA LOGAN MADDOX. BY A STORY I RECEIVED FROM A DAU OF ORA HE HAD A BRO.. THAT LIVE IN THE THREE STATE CORNER MO. KS. OK, BUT CAME OUT OF TEXAS & OK. I am going to re post my First E-mail to the maddox Cousins rootsweb.
HI Cuz, I am looking for the missing link of Maddox in My
family
tree. The Maddox are a Mystery Family. The Family I am
looking for are
located In Idaho and Oregon now.They came out of Texas
and OK. to South
Dakota to Kansas then down the Oregon Trail. When they
departed the Texas,
Ok area they also departed the family ties, due to some kind
of family Feud
This was in 1860 or abouts ??
Ora L. Maddox b. 1-8-1888 in Chamberland Brule County
South Dakota d.
2-4-1959 Weiser Washington County Idaho. At this time his
Parentage is
Unknown, but Possibility a Mary A. was his Mother ? I did fine
the location
of Internment for him and his wife Treasure L ( Sevey)
Maddox b.-7-7-1895
d.5-8-1932 and a Mary A Maddox b.6-14-1850 d.6-21-1924 in
Mann Creek
Cemetery Washington County Idaho. There were children of
his and Treasures
marriage 3 Boys and 1 Girl, her name is Imogene Mae (
Maddox ) Murray
b.8-19-1921 Weiser Washington County Idaho. The Three
boys DOB are unknown
to me at this time. All the boys are living and live in Oregon
and Idaho.
Two Are World Champion Rodeo Cowboys (PCRA) Bull Riding
and Calf Roping.
Imogene is my Mother-In-Law and I and my wife Pamela have
been working on
the Maddox Family Tree.
There stories that Imogene was told when she was a little Girl
about the
Family, but the family didn't talk about the passed, and not of
family. Like
this Mary A. Imogene told me that she can remember her as
granny, but her
dad Ora didn't talk about her after her death. The One thing
that I have
found out is that the story about Ora's Mother & Father going
to a Indian
Reservation in South Dakota was true. While I was checking
out the South
Dakota Information I found that a Comanche girl was enrolled
in the Indian
School at Chamberland, her Name was Harriet Maddox and
she was out of
Oklahoma at the time of Ora's birth.
With more checking I found a William S Maddox b.1833 he
was in the Union
Army Station at Farragut Post # 52 Spearfish South Dakota.
His Company was
Company D 9th Ind.. Legion. He enlisted in Jennings County
IND... In the South
Dakota State Veterans Cemetery at Falls River Hot Springs
County South
Dakota The Internment of William S Maddox d. 5-30-1901 .
Now to tie this to the Ora Maddox. Imogene stated that she
think her Grand
Father first name was William or Willie or Wills ? That her
father Ora told
her that her Grand father died in the Idaho State Veterans
Hospital in Boise
Idaho and was taken back to South Dakota.

Hi Ivan,
The name Ora L. MADDOX really is familiar. It's not one of my lines, but I believe that this family lived within an area of about 4 counties. These would be Beaver Co. OK, Texas Co. OK, Harper Co. OK and Seward Co. KS. I think it was Beaver County OK that they settled in for a while, and Seward county that either they or descendants moved to. If my computer hadn't crashed, I could have given you the info on who to contact. Check the Beaver Co. OKGenWeb at http://www.rootsweb.com/~okbeaver/beav.htm
There used to be at least one MADDOX family in the Liberal, Seward, KS area. http://www.ksgenweb.org/seward/
I *know* that I've seen the info you need.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
