Hello everyone! I am new at this so please bare with me. I
am trying to find a photograph of my
great-great-Grandfather. his name was Floyd Hopkins. And
as far as I know he lived in Cherokee County. He had four
children: Jeff, Perry, Elijah Hatfield, and Sarah. The four
children left on the Oregon Trail in 1870. If you have any
small details or snip-bits of information at all I would greatly
appreciate it.
thank you

I am researching the family of John Wesley Branscomb (also
Branscum and Branscom), a hatter, who moved his family
from Wood Co., TX to Cherokee Co., KS (Baxter
Springs)around 1870. Children with known contacts to
Cherokee Co., KS include: William B. "Barney" Branscum, a
miner who lived in Galena; James Harrison Branscum, who
ran away from home to Indian Territory after a fight with his
step mother; Rebecca A. Branscomb, who married Luther
Van Fossen in 1871; and possibly Amanda Branscomb, who
married David W. Harris in 1883. I am descended from
Nancy Elizabeth "Betty" Branscomb, the oldest child in this
family, who to my knowledge never lived in Cherokee Co.
She married Taylor Anderson in 1868 and lived in Indian
Territory.

I went to Galena High school (no longer standing) with Roy
Hopkins, older brother of Gaylene Hopkins. I believe he died
in a car accident in the late 1950's. Gaylene was a couple of
years younger than Roy. There are pictures of Roy and
Gaylene in the high school annuals.

Lasley WISE 1895 KS Census
I recently found the family of Sylvester J. WISE and Hattie
LASLEY living in Sheridan Twp., Cherokee Co., KS. In this
household there was a 70 yo male listed as Lasley WISE,
born in OH. I believe this to be Sylvester's father. As a
couple of the family are listed by their middle name, this
Lasley could also be listed as such. I know that the Lasley
family migrated PA>OH>IA>KS, but have yet to find any
Wise families nearby. Since Sylvester was born in IN, the
Wises at least must have migrated OH>IN>KS. If you have
any information, please drop me a line.
