ANDERSON, NORRIS posted by Dave Norris on Monday, September 6, 1999

I am looking for George W. NORRIS, born Hancock Co, OH (bef 1837?) who was said to be LIVING IN SAUNDERS CO.,NE IN 1896. This from bio of his brother Noah Anthony Wayne NORRIS, my ggf, in an 1896 Fulton Co., IN publication.
This George and brother Noah, sister Nancy (wife of A.J. (Andrew?) Anderson in Denton, TX, were children of John Norris and Sarah Clark according to the bio. Another source, LDS file not proven, shows John married to a Sarah Ward and dying Denton, TX 1891. Same file shows George, as one of 9 children, born bef 1834 - no other info. Any census, death, burial, or children's info is needed.

I am trying to locate a family by the name of Bliss that lived in Ashland, Saunders county, NB. They moved there about 1930 from OK. Annie Allen was first married to Hirum Stanly Bishop in OK. They divorced prior to 1917. She remarried to a Mr. Bliss and they moved to Ashland. Annie had three children by her first marriage: Ruby born about 1905, Lloyd born about 1906 (died young), and Mabel born about 1908. I do not know if Ruby and Mabel went by Bishop or Bliss. These are my mother's 1/2 sisters, and she would like to locate them or their descendents. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
