Early Residents of Sauk Co.

BrittanyLange — 30 Sep 2008 8:44:46 GMT

I was wondering if anyone had any information on Wenz Mihlbauer or Elizabeth Kunz from the Lavalle area? Or if they could possibly do a lookup? Wenz was born Sep 25 1834 in Baden Germany and they were married Mar 15 1857 in Wausau but after that they moved to Lavalle where they lived the rest of their lives. I believe Wenz died Apr 6 1913 and Elizabeth died Jun 24 1924. Newspaper articles or courthouse info would be great, anything will help. Thank you, Brittany

Anthony O'HARA Land Patent Awarded 1857 in Sauk Co, WI

OHaraHaworth68 — 23 Sep 2008 5:53:05 GMT

Hello!

I am hoping someone has some suggestions for me regarding my next step in research.

I have been searching for years for the whereabouts of my great-grandfather Anthony O'HARA. Although born in Ireland, he emigrated with wife and children to Ontario, Canada, in the late 1840s.

Rumor has it that many folks from Ontario went to Michigan in about 1855, to begin the lumber trade there. Some of these folks continued eastward to Minnesota and Wisconsin. We do not know if Anthony was among them.

I have found a land patent issued in 1857 for an Anthony O'Hara in Sauk Co, WI. Could he be our Anthony? Perhaps.

I have been trying without success to find some corroborating evidence of Anthony or his family in Sauk Co about this time.

Does anyone have any ideas on this? I would be ever so grateful for some sort of lead!

"Little Cemetery on the hill" 15 miles north of Dodgeville, Iowa, Wisconsin

TimHall93 — 12 Apr 2008 6:30:27 GMT

Can anyone tell me the likely location of a "little cemetery on the hill, 15 miles north of Dodgeville." It is mentioned in an ancestor's memoirs as the burial site of several of my Franklin ancestors. I suppose it could be in Iowa, Sauk, or Richland County. Can anyone think of an old cemetery in that area where protestants who died in the mid-1800s might be buried?

Thanks,

Peter O'Malley

jamesklaw — 20 Aug 2008 8:53:19 GMT

I am looking for information about the O'Malley (Omalia) Family that lived in Woodland Twp., Sauk Co., WI in 1880. My grandmother, Grace, was the daughter of Alice Elizabeth McKoon, who was living with her stepfather John T. Compton and family. They also lived in Woodland Twp. Alice made an official declaration of birth for my grandmother to get her social secutity no. in about 1940. in it she named Peter O'Malley as Grace's father. In 1880 the Michael Omalia family lived in Woodland Twp. He had a son Peter who was about the same age as Alice. They also had farms in the same section of Woodland Twp. Alice and Peter were never married. Alice later married Leslie McNames whom she later divorced. Then she married William Compton, son of John T., after William's first wife died. Other than the 1880 census and land records, I have unable to find more information on any of the Omalia family. A Peter O'Malley was on the 1920 Woodland Twp. census but I do not know if he is the same person.

Cemeteries within Badger Army Ammunition Plant

mcleanjk — 20 Aug 2008 8:55:41 GMT

I just read in the paper that the cemeteries within the Badger Army Ammunition Plant are supposed to be turned over to the Town of Sumpter as part of the closing, but that the Town does not have the money for the maintenance. Does anyone out there know more about this? My great grandparents, according to cemetery records, are buried in Kerns Corners Cemetery(aka Pioneer Cemetery).

Plain, Sauk County, Wisconsin

fuschia07 — 7 Jun 2008 7:11:29 GMT

I'm looking for more information about how the Village of Plain got its name. I've gathered up all the information I have and posted it to my website here:

http://violetblue20.googlepages.com/plain%2Csaukcounty%2Cwis...

What I'm looking for are official records from 1912 when Plain became incorporated.

In 1915, Plain residents wanted to change the name according to a letter to the editor in 1915. I'm hoping to find more newspaper articles.

So far, I've only seen it rumored, beginning in 1968, that Plain was possibly named for the basilica called Maria Plain (located near Salzburg, Austria). The 1968 story says, "A Catholic priest who stopped there suggested Plain because the land reminded him of Maria Von Plain in Austria. It has also been said that Plain was chosen because the residents were 'just plain people.'" Of course, the 1968 story does not name the priest. I wonder what the source was for that statement.

Late 1800 and early 1900 sources do not mention Maria Plain near Salzburg, Austria.

Please read the info at my website where I've explained this in more detail.

If anyone can shed more light on this subject, please contact me :)

HINEMAN death record after 1907?

mrstkdsd — 26 May 2008 11:55:15 GMT

I am researching a Samuel HINEMAN I found on Sauk Co., WI census records in hopes he is related to my HINEMAN line. He does not show up in the pre-1907 death record index, so he must have died after that.

1905 WI state census, Ironton, Sauk:
HINEMAN, Daniel
wife Mary (FRY)
3 children
HINEMAN, Samuel 68 INDIANA PA OH (listed as single,cousin)

1900 federal census Ironton, Sauk, WI:
Markum family
HINEMAN, Samuel Oct 1837 IND PA ENG (Eng might be an error because the people listed above have mother as ENG)
Listed as single, a hired man, farm labor.

1855 Dunkirk, Dane, WI
Hineman, Samuel

1850 Dunkirk, Dane, WI
Living with a Camron family?
CC Camron [or transcribed as Carmon} 20
CS 0 WI
E Camron 30 (both adults list NM? for birth location?)
HINEMAN, Samuel 11 IND

Is there some way to get a death record without paying a $20 per every 5 year search, since I don't know when he died, or even if he is related to my family for sure?

Evidently, this Samuel appears to have been orphaned or something, and since I can't find my Samuel HINEMAN b: abt 1800/05, I am thinking this might be a son of his.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Cynthia

Lkn4kin_1 — 18 May 2008 5:43:13 GMT

Is anyone researching these names? I am of the Barron line. On the probate records for William Barron died 1869, his daughters are listed as Jane Lacy/Long/Lang and Annie Carry/Cary/Cany. I have searched and searched without success. What really baffles me is:

July 18, 1860-NJ Census Jane (15) and Anna (12*) at home

December 6, 1869-Wm., Sr dies

January 3, 1870 – wife lists 8 children, including Jane Lacy (25) and Annie Cany (23*) on probate papers

June 17, 1870- WI Census Jane (25) and Annie (14*) are listed at home with mom, as Barron

*the ages for Annie are very inconsistent

Any ideas?

L_OFlaherty — 9 May 2008 6:19:36 GMT

They had a daughter Kate born 1857, WI and daughter Fanny born 1861, WI
I have not found Alonzo in the 1900 Census so he and his wife may have died bet 1880 and 1900.

Will the county do a search for a death record?
Thanks for any help

Colburn/Colborn in Sauk Co.

mary_macleod — 9 Feb 2004 6:16:08 GMT

My g grandmother was Lucinda Colburn, born in Merrimac Twp., Sauk Co. on 29 March 1855. Her parents were Robert Colburn, b abt 1817 in New York, and Sarah Adler, b abt 1816 in Ohio. Their first four children were born in Canada. They appear in the 1860 and 1870 Merrimac Twp. census. It appears that they arrived in Wisconsin abt 1850, judging by the ages of the last child born in Canada and the first child born in Wisconsin. Robert and Sarah are buried in Baraboo, Wisconsin.

From searching the Merrimac Twp. census records for 1860, 1870 and 1880, I found two other Colburn men, William and Abraham, who were also born in New York, also had children born in Canada, and arrived in Wisconsin abt. 1854-55.

I would be interested in sharing information with anyone descended from these three Colburn men.

Robert had 8 children born between 1842 and 1858: Mary Ann, Amos, Avery, John, Eliza Jane, George W., Lucinda, and Melinda. Lucinda married Richard Terrill, a farmer in Dane Twp., Dane Co., and her brother George married Richard's sister, Bridget Ellen Terrill.

William had seven children that I know of born between 1842 and 1859: Melissa, Amos Samuel, Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Lydia Jane, Alexander, and Alice Mable. He appears only in the 1860 census.

Abraham had eight children born between 1852 and 1869: George, John, Hiram, Marcus, Benjamin, Abraham, Catherine, and Nancy. He appears in the 1860, 1870, and 1880 Merrimac Twp. census.

Query for Louis SPRAGUE

mlstockstad — 4 Feb 2008 9:25:21 GMT

Hello,
My name is Marcia and my gr-grandfather on my dad's side was Louis A Sprague. I am attempting to track down information on his date/place of death and where he is buried. On the 1905 WI census, Louis is listed living at Reedsburg, Sauk, and on the 1910 census his wife Nina K is only listed. My assumption is that Louis died sometime between these dates. I cannot find proof however of his death in SSDI records and currently I am attempting to find WI cemetery records online to find out where he may be buried. My gr-grandmother (his wife) Nina K Leach is buried in Winona, MN with her parents, but Louis is not buried there. He was born in Racine, WI in 1856, had a brother named Henry and his parents were James M Sprague and Mary Milligan.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Joseph Bacon

rkleve1 — 28 Dec 2007 5:46:55 GMT

I am looking for the date of death and place of death for Joseph Bacon - my ggg-grandfather. He is listed in the Sauk Co WI census in 1860 and 1870. His birth date is listed in records ranging from 1792 - 1799.

During the 1880 census Joseph was living with his daughter - Johanna [Bacon] Burch Perry - in Union Grove twp, Whiteside Co IL. It is very possible that he died there but I can find no record of his death in Whiteside Co IL. Ages and place of birth are incorrect in that census but it is the right people in the right place. It is very possible that Joseph Bacon was living with the Hale family when he died.

Several of his children married and raised their families in Sauk Co WI. Children of Joseph and Rebekah Bacon were: John S. Bacon m Lucy Smith; Nancy Bacon m John Peck; Elizabeth Bacon m Timothy Bigelow; Jane Bacon m Watson O. Beaman; Olive L. Bacon m Addison L. Hale; Lafayette W. Bacon m Jeanette Swena and Martha Bowers. The son of Rebekah was Aaron Noble. Joseph is said to have had 3 daughters before he m Rebekah. I know for sure only of my gg-grandmother - Johanna Margaret Bacon b August 1, 1817 in Sunderland twp, Bennington Co VT. and m Ira Burch in Chautauqua Co NY and Ezekiel Perry in Walworth Co WI.

Joseph Bacon is buried in Tuckertown Cemetery next to his wife Rebeca. An online listing of his tombstone says his middle initial was L. According to family history and his Walworth Co WI homestead papers it was S. Dates at the time of the tombstone reading seemed to be unreadable.

I do appreciate any help I can get in clarifying this man's birth date and death date.

William Wheeler and Miranda Payne

joannesholes — 30 Nov 2007 7:36:11 GMT

While in Binghamton, Broome County, NY a month ago researching a family descended from David and Mary Payne of Windsor in Broome County I came across a letter and family group sheet submitted in 1983 by a woman named Marion J. Thomas. She was researching the family of William Wheeler and Miranda Payne who settled in Sauk County in the mid 1800's. I have reason to believe my Payne family is connected to Miranda and I can add some more information regarding their parents and early history. I have tried to contact Marion Thomas but have not been successful.
Would anyone subscribing to this board be researching ancestors of William and Miranda Wheeler?

searching for buriel place, cemetery and stone of pioneer Ezra Gregory early-mid-1800's. He was in 1870 census of Reedsburg, Winfield, Sauk, WISCONSIN, and we believe he died in 1871.

IF anybody is near his cemetery, would someone be kind enough to send me a digital photograph?

Reiser Family Troy Twp. 1860-1880 Help needed

CoSchumaker4 — 20 Apr 2004 6:27:04 GMT

Looking for information on John Riser and his wife Francisca and their family. Both were born in Switzerland and came to America about 1854. John settled in Sauk Co. WI by the 1860 census.

John age 54 and Francisca were living in the Wilson Creek area of Sauk Co. WI on the 1860 census in the household of their son John Jr. age 35 and his wife Magdalena age 32 and their children John age 2 and Magdalena age 11 months.

In 1870 and 1880 John Sr. age 74 and Fransica age 75 are living in their own household in Troy Twp. Sauk Co., Wisconsin. I have not been able to find John Jr. and his family.

Another possible son of John and Fransica was Ulrich Riser and his wife Elizabeth who I found listed on the 1860 census in Franklin Twp., Sauk Co., Wisconsin with the post office of Plain. I have not found them on other censuses.

Does anyone have any information on any of these Rieser/Reiser/Riser in there data?

If there are cemetery books available for Troy Twp. can someone look for John and Fransica Rieser/Reiser/Riser for me?

Was Wilson Creek and Plain close to each other?

I have the siblings of John Sr. and his parents and will share what I have.

Thanks, Connie

Hoadley/Bates 1875 WI Census

Lkn4kin_1 — 19 Nov 2006 5:11:14 GMT

Was there a WI census in 1875? If so, would someone with access mind looking for a Benjamin Bates or Benjamin Hoadley? My Benjamin Bates was born in 1860. Sometime after the 1870 census, and before the 1880 census, he was adopted by the Hoadley family. It may have been the Hoadley family living in Baraboo on the 1880 census. There are Hoadleys in Nebraska, too, and since he married in Nebraska in 1885, I might need to look there, but thought I'd start here with the 1875 if it exists.

As always, thanks for any assistance

Researching Grauvogl/Grauvogel, Conley/Connly, & Shanahan

Jodi Anderson Rusch — 4 Jul 2002 3:27:52 GMT

Part of the maternal side of my family comes from the Plain/Loreto area. I know that the Grauvogls came here from Germany around 1878, and I'd love to find more information on that immigration and settlement. George Grauvogl married Margaret Conley, nee Shanahan, from Loreto in 1902. I have the names of siblings and parents from both sides, but no idea of why the families immigrated or when the Shanahan/Conley side arrived. Much of the family appears to have settled in the Loganville/Reedsburg area.

I presently live in Muscoda, but am soon moving back to Reedsburg. I will then be able to search the libraries/courts/et cetera myself. In the meantime, any help is appreciated.

Thank you:

Chauncey Kimball, Jr., of Greenfield

JvonBriese9786 — 25 Sep 2006 8:30:31 GMT

Trying to find what becomes of subject after 1860. He is listed with his family (parents are Chauncey and Mary Fargo Kimball), as 14 yrs. old, in Greenfield, Sauk, in 1860 census. Family was in ERie CO., NY, until about 1853/4. He does not appear with the family, in Greenfield, in the 1870 census, Nor do I find him in Greenfield as a head-of-household. [Of course, he may be in the census as a farm laborer for someone else, or some such.]

He is not shown as buried in Walnut Hill Cem. with his parents. [Parents were in town, Baraboo, by 1880 census.]

I am thinking he is perhaps mentioned in a newspaper.

Thanks for any assistance.
