Would appreciate contacting any one with a 1860 census listing for LaSalle
County. The family I am looking for lived in Sandwich which I understand
could be found in DeKalb and La Salle Counties. They are not found in the
DeKalb listings. The family consisted of: Leonhard Scheurich born 1820 in
Baden, Prussia, Anna his wife born 1828 in Sachsen, Mary a daughter born
1845 in Prussia, Lui a son born 1857 in Toledo, Ohio, and a baby Anna born
April 30, 1860 in Sandwich. She may have died shortly after birth. Any
details about this family would be appreciated as all I have now is taken
from a bible. Thank you very much. John in California

Am searching for information about my great-great grandparents, James and
Johanna (BROWN)HARTY. I have very little information. I know they resided in
Ransom, IL in the 1860's and beyond, and that they were married in Grundy
Co., IL on May 24, 1862. That's were I had hoped to garner their parents'
names and their place of births. No such luck. They went on the have five
children: Elizabeth(DANIHER), Nell(WEIR), Gertrude(LaPAGE), Ralph, and
Johanna(lived in Mission, TX). It is through the Elizabeth DANIHER line that
I am derived. If anyone has any ties to these people please help me out!
Thanks!

March 3, 1999Wednesday I'm looking for the family of William and Mary Ann
Clark Madden, in LaSalle County, Ill. Their two older girls Sarah (Sally)
was born abt. 1845 in Ill., and Jane Waddle born in 1847 in Ill. Don't know
about other children Tom born abt. 1855, Tressa Lee, Ann, Maggie,(poss.
Maragret), and Charles(Charlie), these children was born between 1860 and
1865, the youngest was born in June of 1865, his obit say he was born in
Saline, Mo.; however, don't know if this is right. Jane Waddle Madden
married John Porterfield in 1865 in Ill., she told her family that is still
living that the family was originally from Ill. Sarah (Sally), married
William Jennings, and was in Charition County, Mo. by 1870; her family that
is still living doesn't know if they married in Mo., or in Ill. as did her
sister Jane. Tressa Lee married a Stephenson but I think the family had
moved to Missouri by this time. Ann died when she was about 14 years old, as
what I have shows her to be one of the younger children that was born
between 1860-1865. Maggie married a Jennings also, that was suppose to be
related to William Jennings. Charles moved to Dade County, Missouri in about
1886, he married and raised his family here, his two sisters Jane and Sally
also came to Dade County around this time. Tessa Lee stayed in the norhtern
part of Mo., around the Charition and Saline County area, raising her family
there. When Charles died in October 1936 his obit had the other 3 children
that didn't come to Dade County in the following towns, Tessa Lee Stephenson
in Snyder, Mo. Tom in Everret, Wash., and Maggie Jennings in Prague, Ok. I
have a birthdate and death date on William Madden b. 1802, died in 1882,
don't have any dates on Mary Ann Clark Madden, both William and Mary Ann was
born in Ohio according to the census records. What I do know about the
family is sketchy as it has been handed down by the family. One thing that
they all agree about is that the family was suppose to have come to Missouri
from Ill. I ask my Grandmother who was the daughter of Charles Albert Madden
if it was possible that the two older girls was half sisters to the younger
kids, since they was born in 1840's and the others in the 1860's. She didn't
think that was, she seemed to think that all of the children had the same
two parents.
