My history goes back to him (ggrandfather). Born 12/12/1836 (maybe in PA);died 3/25/1912 (Scranton,KS);married Rebecca Martha Daniels 1840 in Sullivan Illinois. Had 9 children: Laura Alice, Henry Allen (grandfather), Joseph Grant, William Wesley, Thomas Edward, Florence Isabelle, George William, Cordelia Estella, James Pearl; 2nd marriage Martha Mae Clarke in Scranton, KS; had 6 children I think: John, Ernest, May, Sarah, Edward, Mamie (Melvern KS). Does anybody have information connecting him to parents and siblings?

I am also stuck trying to connect William to his parents or siblings. I did some research at the Geneology library in Salt Lake City a few years ago and the census records seemed to come up empty. It appeared he was living with another family according to the Illinois Census(if i remember correctly), I think it was either the 1850 or 1860 census. I can provide most of the info from that point forward. What's your connection to him again?-Have you found anything since you posted this message in January?

My grandfather (Henry Allen Punches )was the son of William Henry Punches and Rebecca Martha Daniels (his first wife). I, of course, have information on this line. I have some undocumented information on Henry Allen's siblings. I would be very interested in hearing what you have and sharing what I have. My e-mail is cpunches@poncacity.net

I am the grandson of Kenneth Punches who was the youngest son of William Wesley(or was it Wesley William?) who was a son of William Henry Punches and Rebecca Daniels.

In the information I have it is William Wesley b 1/18/1866, d 1/25/1954. As I said my information is not documented by me. William Ralph Punches, the oldest son of William Wesley, gave me most of what I have in the early 1960's. Ralph visited us several times and we received several letters with information along too. At the time we were a young family with no time for searching on our own.
