I don't know if this is the proper place to post this query,
yep posted here for all to see....... but I'm going ahead and try to see
if I can get some assistance. I've hit the proverbial rock wall
trying to locate the ancestors of Richard Armstrong (#1
below). Consequently, I'm posting the information below to see if it
may sound familiar to someone researching the same line of the Armstrong
Clan who might be able to provide additional information
or direct me elsewhere to find it.
I have no idea when/where Richard, his wife and family entered the
U.S. since my searches of passenger lists have
yielded nothing to date.
Would appreciate any assistance someone could provide.

Cumberland, England, and died October 19, 1874 in Wataga, IL. He

Hello:
What an impressive amount of
information you have amassed on this site! I am looking for information
on the Davis line of my family. My ancestor is John A. W. Davis
was a dentist in Galesburg who shows up on your 1878 Knox County History
Bios as a name only. Also there I find the dentist E. F. Davis and
wonder whether there is any relation.
John Davis married twice; first wife died. He had one daughter, Rosella
Davis, whose married name was Read (William perhaps?). She and her
husband both attended Knox College. After college, they owned a
bookstore in Galesburg (I think). Later they moved to Emporia Kansas
and then to New Mexico.
If you have any information, I would appreciate receiving it. But I am
particularly interested in knowing when John Davis came to Galesburg and
from where.
Thank you so much for your help.

Foxie - first I want to thank you for your time and kindness in
helping others- especially for helping people like I who live far
away and can not make it there any time soon! There was a family
named Robson that lived Knox County and I am having a tough time
locating them. The father was John Robson 1827-1914 married Pamela
Davis. They had five children John b-1827, Williams b- 1831; Robert
b- 1836; James b- 1839 and Henry S Robson b-abt 1825. Henry is my
line he died 1875 Rio, Knox and buried Ontario Cemetery. He had 5
kids and I am having a very tough time locating them and would
appreciate any assisatnce or suggestions:
Sarah J b-1852 (?); Anna M. b- abt 1854; John Thomas b -1858; Henry
"Harry" Stobert Jr. - 1860; and George b- 1868. Thank you for any
assistance would be greatly appreciated! - Lynn
P.S. Henry's wife was Mary Elizabeth Hornage and can not locate her
death or burial- this is my ggg-grandfather's sister.

Hi Foxie, I am looking for information
about my great-grandfather's sister and her parents. Her name was
Cynthia or Lucinda Gould and she attended school in Galesburg about
1859-60. Apparently according to reports, her parents, George Gould and
Charlotte Hensley Gould lived in Galesburg prior to migrating to Wilson
County, Kansas. They were originally from New York. I found them in the
1840 Census in Jefferson Co., NY but have not been able to locate them
in 1850. I don't know if they owned property in Galesburg or
not. Where would I go to find out this information. Also, where would
their daughter have attended school? Her father returned to Galesburg
to get her to teach school in Kansas. Any help anyone can give me would
be |

Foxie,
We are researching the Smelser (also
seen spelled Smeltzer and Smelcer) family who settled in Knox
County, Illinois and lived in Rio Township and near Henderson and
Galesburg as well.
This family line is related by marriage to the Robertson (Daniel
Robertson - Mary "Polly" Maxwell) and Peckinpaugh (John Peckenpaugh
and Christene Rice via son George) families of Knox County for
sure.
There is at least one
gravestone in the Rice-Blue
Cemetery for "Wife of J. Smelser - died Nov. 11, 1878" and I would
guess others as well. As of May 9, 2008 we have not identified
who either the J. Smelser or his wife were.
We have considerable information about this line after their
time in Knox County and a little prior to coming to Knox County from
Hart County, Kentucky and Crawford County, Indiana. It also
appears the family had connections in Tennessee....possibly in
Overton.
Principle Knox County names would
include: Isaiah Smelser b.
abt 1801, Jacob Smelser b. abt 1807, John S. Smelser b. abt 1812 and
James O Smelser b. 1831 (husband of Malissa Jane Robertson b.
1838). Isaiah moved on with his family including wife Nancy Green
Huston in about 1854 to Oregon. We believe the Smelser's arrived
in Knox County between 1830 and 1840. Some records put them in
Knox County in Nov 1835. Jacob and Isaiah (brothers) first appear
in the 1850 census in Township 11 N 1 E. We do not find them
in any 1840 Knox County IL census. They are in Crawford County,
Indiana during the 1830 federal census. Jacob's family,
particularly son James M. Smelser b. abt 1839, moved first to
Madison County, Iowa in about and later to Dallas County, Iowa near
Linden, Panora, and Redfield. Others move to Washington County,
Iowa; Red Cloud, Nebraska; Perry, Oklahoma; Fremont County, Iowa;
and Gillette, Wyoming.
Other associated names of interest include: Logsdon, Dawson,
Prigmore, Lyddon, Huston, Houston, Green, Marlin, Cubbage, Hoggatt,
Malcom, Langloss.

I am researching Han Peter Ottoson, a Swedish immigrant to
Knox County. I know he was born March 15, 1864 in Sweden and died
December 16, 1939 in Gary, Indiana. His parents may be Otto Johnson
and Sophia Peterson.
He is on the 1900 census of Knox Co. and is listed in the History of
Knox Co. as a minister of the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church in
Knoxville.
Does anyone know about his siblings....
There are two other Ottosons who married near the same time that
Hans Peter married Clara Amelia Lander (daughter of John Olsson
Lander) November 17, 1897 in Knox Co.
They are : Gust Ottoson b. Oct 1866 in Sweden and married July
30, 1896 in Knox Co. to Ida Larson
Carl A. Ottoson who married December 8, 1892 in Knox Co., to Hulda
E. Olson.
Are they related to Hans Peter?
Does anyone know where in Sweden these people are from?

Subject: Foxie's Knox County site Family Research - request
from Bloomington
I am assisting a CA resident
who is wanting information on his mother's early life in Galesburg.
Here is what we have: Ina Isabelle Walters b. 10 Sept 1891 in
Galesburg, possibly child of James and Susan Brown Walters who were
supposedly killed in an accident and Ina was raised by her grandparents
(not sure if it was Walters or Brown). Information says that the
grandfather taught at Knox College but so far no similar names have been
located. Ina married Hugh B. Gill in Chicago June 12, 1916 and moved to
WA state and then to CA. She died in 1965 without giving her family any
good information about herself. If you have any information, send to
Thank you.

Could you please check your cemetery records for Harriet (Kemp)
Dixon – b. January 11, 1817 in Essex, Chittenden, Vermont and d. May 3,
1893 in Galesburg, Knox Co., Illinois
She's the only child of Parker Kemp and his wife,
Philenia (Chipman) Kemp. She was an invalid the last 40yrs. of her
life and was probably living with one of her children (James or
John, maybe).
She was married on October 1, 1835 in McKean, Licking, Ohio to John
Dixon (b. November 2, 1809 in County Tyrone, Ireland & d. May 2,
1878 in Palmyra, Marion, Missouri). I would check Dunsdale and
Memorial Park cemeteries first.

Hello,
I need your help, I am told by a reliable source that George C Brant
(1829 to bet 1900-1910) and possibly his wife Sarah are buried in
Avon Cemetery in Fulton County, Illinois but the cemetery listing
is not complete. Can you tell me of someone that can tell me his
date of birth and death so that I can request a death certificate
and preferably a copy of his obituary. I am trying to trace this
family back and his a brick wall! Do you know of anyone who would
have the obituaries for 1900-1910?

Hi,
My Great Grandfather Alexander Borland was born to Robert and
Mary Borland in or near Creetown Scotland around 1860 and left for
the U.S. in 1888. I would love to hear from any Borland offspring
who can trace their family back to that area and can shed some light
on our family for us. Our GGF only said that he knew that his grand
father and uncles lived and worked in the Creetown area and he knew
them but unfortunately did not give us their names. If anyone can
help us locate any remaining relatives in Scotland our otherwise we
would greatly appreciate it. We have found some cousins still living
in Creetown but they are not direct descendants of the Borland
family, and I have had the pleasure of visiting them and seeing the
area where my mothers family came from. Thank you. Regards. Ed
