I am trying to track any living relatives of Mrs J. C. KELLEY of Henrietta, WI. (Mrs J.C. KELLEY was aka Bridget Ellen KENNEDY who was married to James Cornelius KELLEY Jr - who apparently owned a shop in Yuba, WI in 1920s). My mother's long lost aunt was Mary MURPHY (nee WHITE) who lived with Mrs J. C. KELLEY, Mary Ann KENNEDY and their mother Bridget (COUGHLIN) KENNEDY in Henrietta, WI in 1920 (on Main St according to 1920 US Census).
Please contact me at: kevin.ley@lafarge-roofing.co.uk, if you have any info. Many thanks.

I am researching the MILLER family. My line goes back through Rachel A. MILLER, born 22 Feb 1846 in Indiana. Her parents are George and Julia MILLER. George was born 10 Jan 1818 in Kentucky. He was the son of William and Charlotte (DAWSON) MILLER. William was born 23 Jan 1794 in Kentucky. William was the son of Henry and Sarah (PEARCY) MILLER. Henry was born 6 Dec 1759 in Virginia.

I would especially like to find information regarding George MILLER's wife, Julia. I have no real information on her. I assume she died sometime between 1860 and 1865, as she is listed on the census records through the 1860 census, but not after that. My notes from the ancestry world tree has George having married a Sarah in 1865, but she apparently didn't live long after her marriage. Sarah is not listed on the 1870 census, but her two children were listed. George is shown with Maggie, wife #3, on the 1880 census.

If anyone knows anything about Julia MILLER, please contact me. I appreciate the help.

I would like to be able to prove that the Samuel J.COLLINS is the same person as Jefferson COLLINS. According to the 1860 Wi. census Samuel attended school within the year. Would there possibly be any school records for that time frame. Also would there be any birth records for 1870 that might show the birth of Samuel's daughter Alice?

I'm hoping there is someone out there that can give me some suggestions or has some info. to share. I have been at a dead end for a couple of years now. I would be more than willing to share any info. that I have on the COLLINS.
Thank you. Raye Dean

I am interested in information on a Robert J. DRAKE who was murcered in Covington, Fountain County, Indiana in about 1902-1903. His wife was accused of his murder by poison. The the Fountain County Grand Jury met in June 1903 without a resolution of the case. The fact that his body was exhumed three times at the request of the Courts is of interest. I would like to receive any information on Mr. DRAKE or his burial site. Please feel free to contact me if you have information or suggestions.

The local newspaper indicates that Robert J DRAKE was buried in Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, Forest Township, Richland County, Wisconsin.

Thanks for your interest and your help. Am willing to share information I have.

I am looking for the Paul McKibbon who posted here on forum about Madsion RUSE and Elizabeth DAVIDSON ( my GGG grandparents). His email is being returned. I would like to share info. I, too, am looking to find out why Madison and his wife Elizabeth came to Richland County from Clinton County, Indiana and more about where they are buried or if probate was left . I tried to contact the clerk there in Richland County and they just sent my letter over to the library which wants an arm and leg for a simple brief search.
If anyone knows where I can reach Paul or if they can help with Madsion and Elizabeth please let me know . Thanks!
