Sylvester C. Limbocker (according to Civil War records and statements by him) was born 1835 in Erie, PA. I have found no verifying source, no mention of parents, no record of him anywhere until 1849 when he was in court records in Jennings, IN. Also in IN I find Alfred Limbocker and family. Alfred was party to the referenced court record. I have researched the family of Alfred but find no record with ties to Sylvester even though they both moved to IA at the same time. Alfred (according to his account) can be traced back to Rev. War and John Limbocker. Alfred named one of his sons (born abt 1838) Alfred Sylvester.He was killed in the war. I feel the lines are connected but cannot prove anything. Slyv. C. marr. Sarah Elizabeth Brown(Dau. of James A Brown) in 1858 in IA and had 9 children. I have been slamming my head against that brick wall for years but have found no link or record to tie all of it up. If you have any questions or suggestions please advise. Ask if you need additional info. I'm grateful for your interest.
