GILBERT
Ruth Lucchesi (ruth@lucchesi.org) 23 August 2008
I am tracing Truman T. GILBERT (born Oct 1830, unknown city, New York) and his wife Elmira (Almira) (MARTIN) GILBERT (Born 19 Mar 1834 Southwold Township, Ontario Canada) who lived for many years in Neosho County. I find them listed as follows:
1900 Walnut Grove Township
1880 Walnut Grove Township
1870 Erie Township
Elmira died 19 Mar 1904, probably in Neosho County. I don't know when Truman died, but neither of them are listed in the 1910 census for Neosho county. Can you locate either cemetery or death records for this couple?
Additionally, I found two children born to this family...Annie/Anice (born ca 1857) and Owen (born ca 1863) both born in their prior residence of Rock Grove City, Floyd County, Iowa. The 1900 census lists Elmira as having 3 children, 1 of whom is living. Both of these children disappear from the census after 1870; the girl because she married and the boy perhaps because he died. Do you have any death records for these children? Do you have any birth/death records for the illusive third child? Assuming that Annie/Anice was the child who lived, might there be any marriage records for her?

SCHISLER

LYONS...McLELAND...WRIGHT
Darlene Landry (ldebst@persona.ca) 31 December 2007
I am asking for help in finding the background of Alice Josephine LYONS born Dec 1874 Kansas. As she married in Neosho County Kansas to Oliver Morton McLELAND 3 Mar 1895 Neosho Kansas and lived in Walnut Grove as his wife I am assuming that she too was from that general area. The only family I found that maybe her family is that of J B LYONS who died in 1926 Neosho and was buried (probably by daughter) Rebecca E Wright. I Would like the census of State Census lookup on her as well as 1880 Federal Census,.. perhaps 1885 Provincial. This should give me an accurate picture of where she came from. The 1920 census states both her parents were born in Illinois. She lived in Deerlodge Montana by then; a divorcee as a private housekeeper to the man she later married with her daughter and his mother. Thank You.

The other surname of interest is DILLON, which was my Grandmother. I have some scattered information on both.

I am looking for information on a THORNE family that adopted an uncle of mine Joseph W.(JACOBS) THORNE. Joe was one of those children who was put on a train and sent to other places for adoption. He married Nellie Faye CLAIBORNE of Chanute. He was working on her fathers farm and they met and married in 1935 in Chanute. She was born in 1916 in Chanute. She was the only child of Hogan Burt and Nellie Louise CLAIBORNE of Chanute. Joseph (JACOBS) THORNE was the natural son of Rosa C. (ADAMS) JACOBS and an unknown JACOBS father, he had a sister Emma who I know nothing about. We are trying to put the pieces together for this family. Joe also had a 1/2 brother that he knew, Elmer Smith ANDERSON who lives in Safford, AZ. He was also on the orphan train and adopted by August and Mary ANDERSON, he may have been adopted in Chanute also. However they did not know they were related and met accidentally on some kind of cattle drive or something like that. They discovered they were brothers when they both started to sing the same song with the same people in it. This story was featured in Country Magazine in Jan 1995. We would love to complete this story in a good way, if anyone knows of these folks please contact me. Elmer Smith ANDERSON is still alive and will be 96 in June, 2007, We are going there to meet him in June. I would love to have some other information to give.

I wrote to vital statistics in Topeka...no luck...also wrote to vital stats in Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas...also no luck.

JACOBS
Fred Hendrickson (fredokc@aol.com) 1 May 2004
Seeking information on my Great-Grandfather, Benjamin Franklin JACOBS. Believe he went by 'Frank'. Born 18 February 1827, Frederick County, Maryland. About 1860-1882, lived in Knox County, Ohio, where he married Marietta ROCK. Lived in Jasper County, Missouri abt 1882-1890 (at least). Marietta died the 31 January 1889. Nothing is known of him after that date, except he died December 1917. But I suspect he moved to Kansas. On 1900 Neosho County, Kansas census is a Benjamin JACOBS -- possibly 'Benj. Frank' JACOBS (hard to read) -- whose information matches: born February 1837, Parents born in Maryland. Although his occupation is farmer (he had previously been a stone mason), that is possible since his sons were later farmers in Kansas. Shortly after 1900 -- and for numerous years thereafter -- my Grandfather, Hugh Marcellus JACOBS lived in Coffeyville, Montgomery County, Kansas. Years of research indicates that my Benjamin Franklin JACOBS was probably the son of (Jonathan) Ignatius JACOBS and Mary Ann FOX of Frederick County, Maryland. I need to confirm this through a marriage, land or death record, obituary, newspaper article, etc. The Benjamin JACOBS on the 1900 census had been married less than a year to an Elizabeth, born Ohio (which would make sense). I would also like to determine this; and if so, her last name and whether they had children. Please let me know any information you may have that might help.

SELL
Evelyn Sell (esell904@peoplepc.com) 31 January 2004
I have been collecting articles or whatever I can find on the SELL family of Erie, Neosho County, Kansas who was murdered in March 1886. What township was they living in at the time? I am interested in corresponding with anyone who may remember their folks talking about this murdered family. I would also like to know the name of the school Mr. Jacob SELL was teaching at when this happened. Would also like to find out what happened to the instrument, or instruments that were found in the home of the murdered family. Would anyone know where the records of the lawyers are who put the boy, who was not murdered in prison?

COLE
Joanne Cole (jojo52023@aol.com) 25 January 2004
I would like to know if James Oliver COLE died in Chanute? He was born in 1864, worked for the railroad. We would like to know which railroad, and what happened to him. We understand that he abandoned his wife and 3 children and became a drifter. So it has been very hard to find his death date and place. Would appreciate any information. His parents are buried in Chanute; they are Charles M. COLE and Euphama Harmon COLE, Charles was born in 1832 and died 1892, and Euphama/Euphemia died 7 March 1900. I don't have birthdates for either parent, and that would be great if it was on their tombstone. I would also like to know where they are buried at as well.

Does any one have records reaching back that far?
