Hello,

I am posting here because there is no HULSER board and I have been advised that Hulsers lived in Caldwell County, MO, in the 1840's to 1860's.

I am searching for parents of Phoebe Florina HULSER, b MO 1849, married James Granderson Newton, b MO 1841. They married in Myrtle Creek, Douglas, OR, in 1866, and lived the rest of their lives in Douglas County. I read an older post which said Phoebe's parents were Samuel HULSER and Finetta Phillips of Caldwell County, but I can't find any records which prove this. The only record I have found for a Samuel in Caldwell County is on the 1880 census, and it shows him married to Mariah, not Finetta. Anyone familiar with these people?

In a Civil War pension file for Nicholas Hibner of Proctorville, Caldwell Co., Mo., dated Jan 2 1865, a signer of the petition for Nicholas Hibner is George Hulser. I have a copy of the petition from this civil war file.

There is a very strong possibility that George Hulser is part of my Hulser family. If you have more info please e-mail me at zibbyjohn@aol.com. Thanks so much for your reply.

May I ask you questions about something completely unrelated to this thread? I think you can fill in a large amount of pieces to my puzzle. I know you have asked to not be contacted, but I am out of other idea's. Please help.

I still have the listing of local Caldwell people who signed a petition for Nicholas Hibner. I sent the Hibner civil war pension file to a descendant of Hibner's brother.

The listing I have(2 pages) shows George Hulser, and "R. Phillips".
I didn't find the name Newton on the list. This list was signed after the civil war and was in support of the pension for Nicholas Hibner.

Hello Ross,

I had to ask not to be contacted because I was receiving so many e-mail messages per day, I could not cope with all of them. You may contact me at zibbyjohn@yahoo.com. I don't know if I can be of any help, but you may certainly ask your questions and we shall see. :)

I am supposing that George Hulser is the brother of Samuel Henry Holzer/Hulser, and son of Jakob Holzer & Florina Braunbart. George had a son named George Albert Hulser, but he wasn't born until abt 1874.

Samuel Henry Holzer was married to two sisters: first to Finetta Phillips, and after her death, to Mariah Phillips. It is quite likely that R. Phillips was a member of this Phillips family. Phoebe Hulser & James Newton were married in 1866 in Oregon & so were probably no longer in Caldwell county when this petition was signed.
