SUBJECT: WILLIAM & ED ALLEN
I am looking for the court information that caused my ancestors,
William W Allen and Ed M Allen, to be indicted for obtaining money by
false pretenses and for forgery. The Attorney General sent requisition
papers to the Governor of Missouri and the Government of Mexico for
extradition as stated in the Seventh Biennial Report, dated 1 Sep
1890. I would like to know the circumstances under which they were
charged in Pottawatomie county. Apparently at least William, aka W W
Allen, fled to Laredo, Mexico.

SUBJECT: WILSON MCCLELLAN
I am searching for Wilson McClellan, who I can document in Douglas, Kansas
from 1865 to 1885 in both the Federal Census and the Kansas State Census'.
In 1900, there is a Willson McClelan (different spelling) living in Blue,
Pottawatomie, Kansas that is a servant in the home of John Kile. I hope this
is my man since I don't know where he died.
What I'm wondering is if he died there. An obituary may shed some light on
who his parents were. I would appreciate it if you could help me with this.

SUBJECT: MITCHELL Family
We are looking for a Mitchell family, that I found in the 1870 and
1880 in Pottawatomie County. The mother was Sarah, and children were
Frank E Mitchell born in Iowa; John W who was born in MIssouri and
Henry born in Kansas. Frank was 7 years old in 1870 and 17 in 1880.
Henry was 13 in 1880. Sarah was born in about 1834 in Kentucky.
Frank's census records say that his father was born in New Hampshire.
The father's name is unknown. From Kansas they moved to Woods and
then Major County, Oklahoma.
Can anyone help me with this family. The Mitchell family moved from
Oklahoma to Colorado, around Brighton, Longmont, Boulder and
surrounding areas.

SUBJECT: Louisville Cemetery
I was wondering if you might help me or advise where I might find an answer
regarding getting the correct date of death off a tombstone at the Louisville
Cemetery??? Rev. Franklin G. Sherrill's death date that is listed on the cemetery
project is incorrect. He is listed in the 1880 census along with his family in
Osage Co. He and his wife Mary were still having children until 1868. His daughter
Helen who married Dr. Harry Reding was born in abt 1862.I checked on the "Random Acts
of Kindness" website and there are no volunteers for Pottawatomie Co. Do you know of
anyone there in Pottawatomie Co., who lives close to this cemetery who might be
willing to look for Franklin's grave and give me the correct dates?? I would be
willing to send some gas money if necessary.

SUBJECT: Brenton or Frazier
I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the following family names Brenton or Frazier,
was particularly interested in Mildred Frazier Brenton, who was born and died in
Potawatomie county. My g grandmother, who died in the 1930's i think. Also her son, Ora
(Orrie) B. Brenton, my grandfather, whos grave apparently cannot be located. Orrie brenton
was a farmer and also rode the rodeos as far west as oregon, grandpa was poor and when he
died in the 1940's, his wife and children did not have the means to afford a burial.
Apparently, his brothers claimed his body for burial and he is somewhere (hopefully) in
Kansas.

in census, farm, deed, tax, family Bible, or other records that can corroborate claim that

SUBJECT: Alfred/Abel Fredrick Johnson
I am looking for information on the second marriage of Abel Fredrick Johnson of Emmett,
between his first wife’s death in 1913 and the 1920 census. The second wife’s name may
be Albertina and she definitely was Swedish and used Swedish as her language. We believe
she came from out-of-state and we know that she returned there, or somewhere, after his
death in 1928.
To complicate matters, Abel Fredrick Johnson is variously listed as Abel, Fred, A. F., A.
Fredrick – any combination you can think of – and Alfred, which is the name used in the
1920 census with Albertina.

SUBJECT: Greemore
My husband, Mike Mc Curtain, is a descendant of Basil Grimard and Catherine Welch Grimard who
came from Vincennes, Indiana to the Potawatomi Reserve in what is now Pottawatomie County.
Their son, Charles Augustus Grimard, was born in Belvue, we think. He was baptized at the
Immaculate Conception Church in St. Marys. On the 1870 census, he is listed as Charles
Greemore, with the legend, "at school." Was there a boarding school in Pottawatomie County
in the 1870s? Charles Greemore was married to Lydia Alice Copeland around 1879, we think.
Is there some place we can get a copy of their marriage bond or certificate of marriage. As
Lydia Alice Copeland was not a Catholic and did not convert, it is doubtful they were married
in the church. All their children were raised in the Catholic Church, however. Their son,
Walter Copeland Greemore, who was born in 1883 and died in 1887, is buried in the Mt. Calvary
Cemetery in St. Marys.Christina Jameson Mc Curtain; 4912 Cypress Lake Drive;
