According to a record I have found, my grandfather, John Thomas Lansdon, was born in Wafhiter, KS in 1875. The name "Wafhiter" is underscored in the document which might mean that the source was not certain of the spelling. Any help in locating the site would be much appreciated.

Topic: Jarvis/Hopkins
From: Linda Masson brentandlinda@cs.com
Date: Saturday, March 18, 2000 01:32 AM
I am beginning a search for any info on John N. Jarvis married to Martha Z. Hopkins. According to their daughter Althea Winifred Jarvis's soc.sec. application, they were living in Bosdale, KS at time of her birth 5/11/1891. I have not been able to locate Bosdale as a town. which county? thanks for any help. Linda Update 3/22/00. via Ancestry.com I located Martha Zamora Hopkins b.1-8-1861, Albany, Clinton Co, KY, married to John Nicholas Jarvis, no other info given about him. One of Martha's siblings, Newton Franklin Hopkins was noted to have died in ROSEDALE,KS, so perhaps Bosdale is actually Rosedale, and Althea mis-remembered it.

Kansas Post Offices by Robert Baughman does not list a Bosdale, but there is was Bosland listed in Ellsworth County 1871-1873. Perhaps it's a township name? What other sources have you tried?

I am looking for my father Hugh Hill. I am going with what information I have on my birth certificate. it says Kansas is where he is born. His age 26 so I figured around 1905. I never knew him as I was told he died before I was born and then told he held me after I was born. My mother's name is Caroline Mary Denton. She moved to San Diego, CA. where I was born in 1929. I do not know whether he came with her or not. His occupation was Interior decorating & Construction work. If anyone has any information on him I would really appreciate it. I have run across a blank wall.
Thank You
