Hutchinson, KS in the late 19th cent. He married my

I am trying to find any info on the
MILLER, DRUMMOND, or McCOSKRIE families in Reno County. Myrta
McCOSKRIE was married to George F MILLER. They
had three children, Glen, Helen and Jack. We understand that George may have died around 1919 as Mryta
shows up in the 1920 census as being head of household with Jack and
Helen at home. She later married S. E. (miles?) DRUMMOND. I
haven't been able to find anything on George.

I would very much appreciate if you would share any
photos of our above-listed family relatives who lived in Reno County, Kansas
in the 1870's and 1880's. I have the dates and location of the marriages
of Icia Icionia Sears and Alonzo Watson but not a copy of the ORIGINAL
MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE, and I'm currently trying to locate Alonzo Watson's Death
Certificate or information ABOUT WHAT HE DIED FROM in 1878-1881 possibly in
Nickerson, Kansas. We would like to find a copy of the ORIGINAL MARRIAGE
CERTIFICATE of John L. Leniger and Icia Iciona Sears Watson Leniger's as we
know the dates and location. Lillie Watson, daughter of Icia and Alonzo Watson
was born 1878-1881 possibly near Nickerson, Kansas but we need an exact date
and County. Ethel Leniger Barr was Icia and John Leniger's daughter who we
don't have exact dates or location of her birth but possibly was in Navina, OK
but she moved near possibly Nickerson, Kansas and is deceased but we don't
know where she's buried. The Cree family is related to Icia Iciona Sears
but we haven't been able to establish if Icia's Sister married a Cree or how
Icia was related to the Cree family.

BUSSING
Les Bussing
July 9, 2003
I am
searching for records of great and great-great grandparents. These
people moved from Onondaga County, NY to Hutchison, KS (or nearby)
where they bought farms in 1884 or 1885. The first family is James
G. and Eliza H.
BUSSING who would have been 57 and 51 years old
respectively in 1884. The second family would be Frederick K. and
Marion (or Minnie) C.
BUSSING and their 1 year old son Woodrow. They
would have been 31 years old in 1884. I believe Eliza H. died in or
around Reno County, KS in 1890 but the rest of these two families
moved to Dewey County, OK during one of the land runs in 1898. I am
specifically interested in James G.
BUSSING and any land or probate
records he may have contracted during their time in Kansas. I would
like to know who the parents were of James.
