Census information is available online from Ancestry.com or HeritageQuest.com. Sometimes you can use these databases for free with a library card from your local library.

For homesteading information, go the NE State Historical Society website, click on Research, then Catalogs and Databases, then NE US General Land Office Tract Books to get names and land descriptions. With this information, you can order a land entry file from the National Archives.

Hayes County Homesteading

efielding181 — 2009-09-21 02:10:41Z

I am looking for the census information on Hayes County Homesteading in the 1880s and 90s. Does anyone know where this information could be found without having to go the the court house or State Historical Society and compliling it on my own?

Our family is having a reunion in Hayes Center in 2010 and I am trying to do some research. Both my grandparents homesteaded during that time, Fielding and Rice, in Hayes County.

Thanks for the help.

Clarence Hewitt - need cemetery lookup

maertha — 2009-07-30 17:17:21Z

In the 1930 census Clarence Hewitt is living in Highland, Hayes, NE. He married Anne Elizabeth Cunningham abt 1925. They had 9 children that I know of. Names are Frederick, Boyd, Harold, Stanley, Eugene, Gary, Don, Neldon and Sharon. I have his DOD as May 1962. Wondering if someone could do a cemetery lookup and see if he's buried somewhere in Hayes County. I've tried doing that online but haven't found the info. Anything else someone finds would also be appreciated.
Thanks, Mary

I have a 1937 Nebraska map and White is in Hayes County. It was between Hayes Center and Maywood

Help finding a former town

TimothySchalk — 2009-04-06 14:24:29Z

I am trying to find a former Nebraska town. It was a small town by the name of White. My grandfather served a vicarage at a Lutheran church in White in 1923. It apparently was approximately 15 miles south of Wellfleet but I have not found it on any maps. It probably was in either Hayes or Frontier Counties.

White, Nebraska

tschalk23 — 2008-11-14 18:17:03Z

I am researching my family history. My grandfather served a vicarage in White, Nebraska. I understand that White no longer exists. Does anyone know where White, Nebraska was located?

Thanks

Obit or death record lookup: Olivia Josephin Gress (née Tucker)

Tracy_Critchfield — 2006-02-06 12:39:18Z

Hi
I am trying to find an obit or death record for my GG Grandmother OLIVIA JOSEPHINE GRESS. She died December 10, 1922 but I don't know where!! The last place I found them was in Fairfield, Hayes Co. But they had lived all over the place (Nuckolls Co., Buffalo Co., Hitchcock Co., Lincoln Co.) Her husband was John W Gress a circuit preacher. She was born January 4, 1852 in West Virginia to Andrew J Tucker and Harriet Turner. I sent for records to Lincoln Co, and Nuckolls Co. I even sent for a death record search in Hayes co. but no luck.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Sincerely
Tracy Critchfield

There is a Mary A. Estes, listed as a landowner in Fairfield Precint of Hayes County in the 1907 index I have.

This area is clear on the north side of Hayes County and their land is almost to the Lincoln County border so you might also want to check out Lincoln County, they might of also had land or other court records there.

There are several Russell's, must be a family name.

Russell born in 1875, one born in 1918.

William T. & Mary A. Estes - KY>OH>Nebraska

MalindaG — 2005-09-08 16:17:02Z

Does anyone recognize this family?

William T. Estes b. May 1847 KY
Mary A. (wife) b. June 1848 OH
George F.E. (son) b. July 1869 IL - sometimes known as Ezra
Agnes (dau) b. abt 1875 IL
William (son) b. abt 1879 IL
J.B. (son) b. 1884 IL - sometimes known as Jay
Myrtle (dau) b. 1890 NE

I believe this is the William Estes who married Mary Dean in McLean, IL. Might have moved to Nebraska as early as 1885.
1900 census they are in Garfield precinct of Lancaster Co, NE where William is farming.
1910 census Concord Pct, Hayes Co, NE, William is widowed. Jay and Myrtle are still at home. Farming.

I am trying to tie this family into my Estes family that was in the 1885 Nebraska census for Lincoln, Lancaster Co. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Marshall Herbert Hiner (b. 1891), s/o Emory and Emily Hiner

sxgray — 2005-08-13 13:19:56Z

Seeking information on Marshall Hiner, born 1891 in Kansas. His parents were Emory and Emily Hiner.

According to a family history write up that Marshall's younger sister wrote, Marshall lived in Hamlet, NE. His wife was named Edna, and they had three children. A little girl that died in infancy, James and Betty.

I can not find any record of Marshall or his family in Hayes County. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in locating information on Marshall and his family. According to the SSDI, Marshall died in 1983 in Kimball, NE, but I have been unsuccessful in gathering information from that end.

Sincerely,

Re: George Long- Sheriff

2003-09-28 22:08:02Z

George Long was sheriff from 1902 to 1905, according to an old plat map I have he owned land in Swan Lake precinct, section 36 which is the very southeast corner of this precinct. He also owned land in Hopewell precinct section 6. this would be the very northwest corner of this precinct. He may be listed as a person who purchased the 1907 atlas (Long, George W., Farmer, S. 6, T. Hopewell, P.O. Palisade, 1892.) would assume he had been there since 1892.

From what I can see there are possibly two George W. Longs here so be careful. There is one buried in Palisade 1896-1960. This is my uncles dad and I don't think this is the right one.

AND MINNIE (MY PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER) THERE MAY HAVE BEEN OTHER CHILDREN. THE 1930 US CENSUS LISTS AN C. E. SICHLEY WITH A BIRTH PLACE OF OHIO AND RESIDENCE IN NEBRASKA AND A RUSSELL SICHLEY WITH A BIRTHPLACE OF OHIO AND RESIDENCE IN COLORADO. I BELIEVE SAMUEL CAME FROM OHIO AND SETTLED IN NEBRASKA.

Neider

trishaormsby — 2003-05-14 21:44:22Z

I am looking for information on the Neider surname. My great grandfather Joseph Neider was found on the 1920 Census living with his son, Wilder C. Neider in Hayes County, Concord Prencinct, Nebraska. Joseph is not listed with the family in the 1930 census where I found Wilder and his family in Hayes County, Fairfield Precinct, Nebraska. I think he may have died between 1920 and 1930. In 1920 he lists his age as 64. I would appreciate any information on the Neider surname.
