Francis (Frank) QUACKENBUSH died in Willow, Richland Co., WI in 1882. He had sons John E, Chauncey, & George who I think may have lived in Wisconsin, too. His daughter Sarah (QUACKENBUSH) DARRING / DARRIN lived in Willow at least for a short time. George may have been married to a Catherine J. JACOBS, daughter of John JACOBS, Civil War casualty. Anyone know these people? Any information, especially QUACKENBUSH would be really helpful. Thanks, Pat.

I am hoping to learn more about the ancestry of Dr. John H. HELM of Richland county in the 1880s. I am descended from Harriet Emily HELM, believed to be John H. HELM's sister. Their mother was Barbara EWING, who with Jacob (her second husband), moved to Richland county from Indiana. As of yet I do not know identity of father of John H and Harriet E. He apparently died in Indiana before 1850.

On June 01, 1880 a woman named Louisa (nee ALLEN) BARDIN signed a land patent document for the eastern half of the southeast quarter of section 5 of Sylvan Township, Richland County, Wisconsin (80 acres). Their daughter (Caroline) and son-in-law (William B. CLAIR) owned the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter (40 acres) of section 9 of Sylvan Township, Richland Co., Wis.

That is, the BARDIN property (southeast corner) touched the CLAIR property (northwest corner). Sadly, the BARDIN's don't appear in the 1880 U.S. census for Sylvan Township.

I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who has any information about this couple.
Best regards
