Topic: Sarah/Robert McCartney-New Albany, KS
From: Jan Dunlap nedunlap@revealed.net
Date: Friday, June 28, 2002 11:54 AM

I am looking for Sarah Ann DeGraff married to Robert McCartney who were thought to be in New Albany, Wilson Co, KS in May 1873 (her fatherŐs estate papers). Sarah was born 5 November 1833 in Elkhart, IN and died 2 June 1913 but the family Bible does not say where. Her name is listed as Miller when she died. There are no entries for a marriage to Robert McCartney or to unknown Miller. Does this info fit with what anyone else knows? Can someone check the cemetery list for New Albany? Or check any other local material that might shed a clue? Jan Dunlap nedunlap@revealed.net

Looking for any info on Sarah (DeGraff) and Robert McCartney who are listed in her father's estate papers as being in New Albany, Wilson Co, KS in March and May 1873. I have no other information except that Sarah died in 1913 and is Mrs Sarah Miller at that time. I do not know where she died or what Mr Miller's first name was.
Do you know anything about these families?

Topic: Want Neodesha City Directory
From: Marvin Walden drcadmando@aol.com
Date: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 02:29 PM

While searching the databases of Ancestry.com some months ago, looking for info about my Great Grandfather Albert Walden, who was born in Illinois in 1856, I found that there was an Albert J Walden in the Neodesha KS City Directory for 1896- 97. I searched for more info today, and found nothing- ancestry.com has changed something.

So, I wonder if there might be some way that I could get microform of some kind of the Neodesha KS City Directory for 1896- 97?

Thanx,

Hello,
I visit Neodesha and I have found that the WA Rankin Library has a full listing of people buried in the Neodesha Cemetery. You can contact them and they will do lookups for you. They have a great genealogy section with newspapers on microfilm and a full listing of obituaries.

They also lived next door to Abigail and Henry Reed. Abigail was Charles Lee Coopers mother Abigail Mollet Cooper Reed (Aaron Cooper) was her husband.

Richard Clayton Damron was the son of Samuel and Mary(Polly) Mollett sister to Abigail Mollet Cooper mother of Charles Lee Cooper.

Topic: Looking for Charles M. Surber
From: Russ Surber rdsurber@charter.net
Date: Sunday, February 10, 2002 01:31 PM

Excuse my awkwardness, I've very new at this. I'm trying to find information on my grandfather, whom I never knew. On my father's delayed birth certificate (issued in 1942, 43 years after his birth!) my grandfather was born in Wilson County, Kansas. If my father was born in 1899, I would guess my grandfather was born somewhere between 1870 and 1881 or '82. If anyone has run across a record that mentions Charles M.(I presume his middle name was given to my father as a first name, Marion) Surber, I would certainly appreciation learning how I might have access to it. From there I hope to identify my great grandparents, and from there, who knows? Many thanks,

I am anxious to find out more about the family of John and Mary NELSON who lived in Wilson County (Pleasant Valley Twp?)from sometime in the 1870s until at least 1895. John and Mary had 2 daughters who apparently married in Wilson County. Mary Frances (my ancestor) married Joseph YOUNG in 1889 and her older sister Martha E married CT AMES in 1883 (I believe). Mary married again, possibly in 1906, William C. CHATFIELD, but I haven't been able to determine where.
