| DANNENFELSER DANNANFELTSOR DONEFELDT |
Charlie Dannenfelser | 19 May 1998 | I just returned from a visit to the Quad Cities, Geneseo, Morrison, and Portland-Whiteside County. It is magnificiently beautiful! My search included viewing the gravesite of Mary Hunt Dannenfelser at Sharon Cemetery and the graves of Frederick and Mary Dannenfelser at Oakwood Cemetery in Geneseo. I also viethe land in Portland Township which was acquired by U.S. Land Grants in the late 1840's; in all it was a successful and very pleasant trip. My disappointment was in finding only a "reference" to naturalization in the basement of the Rock Island County Courthouse.I appear to be running aground on finding and establishing a connection back to the birthplace in Germany; if any of you have suggestions on alternatives available please let me know. A question: Where is located the most complete selection (for the area) of "Germans to America"?? Also, the most likely Passenger Lists for arriving in Rock Island? Does anyone have an idea of what might have attracted them "directly" to the area from Germany?? Thanks for any help, Charlie Dannenfelser |

Norm Prince | 14 May 1998 | Between 1845 and 1850 three of the sons of William and Mary Johnston of County Fermanaugh, Ireland, removed themselves and there families to the `new world'. They arrived at the port of New Orleans and traveled up the Mississippi River to Rock Island, Illinois. The three brothers and their families settled in Bowling township, Rock Island county and Preemption and Perryton township, Mercer county. The families had a habit of inter-marrying and if one was to look closely at the following chart they would find several cases of first cousins beginning a family. Along with marring other Johnston's, the offspring of the brothers married into other Irish families with the names listed on the heading. The Johnston and Hutchinson name is not as well known in the three township today, as it was 100 years ago, but I am sure there are a number of person who could trace their ancestors back to one of these Orangemen. I would be most interested in corresponding with any person researching these Mercer and Rock Island county names. The following tree only shows the three brothers and their children; much more information is available for those that have an interest in this family.

| GRIESER/ GREASER/ HIPPE/ KRAUSE |
Marlene Heinsohn | 14 May 1998 | Searching for info on Christian Grieser b. ca 1830 near Berlin, Germany m. Wilhelmina HIPPE/KRAUSE b. 1831 in Germany. Son Theodore (Peter) GRIESER/GREASER b. 10 May 1854 near Berlin. Family came to America in 1854 and settled in Moline, IL where Christian worked in the coal mines. Children born in Moline: Elizabeth b.1856; Wm. b 1857; Frederick b. 1859; b. in Genesco-Minnie b. 1862; Christopher b. 1863; born in NE-Frank b. 1865; Emma b. 1869; Annie b. 1872; Lena b. 1877. They are listed in Henry Co. Census for 1860-70. Need Naturalization papers that might name the village near Berlin. Christian would have needed this as he and several children homesteaded here in Colfax Co., NE . No papers filed here. Also need parents of both Chris & Wilhelmina (Minnie). Minnie and her children are buried here in Fremont, Dodge, NE but Christian disappeared in 1894 without a trace. Courthouse records about his sons Frederick and Theodore state that he died in 1895-but where??? I'm hoping he had relatives in IL and is buried there. I have some very colorful stories (true) about my Grandfather-in-law (Theodore GREASER). |
| McGUIRE YOKUM |
Janet Miller | 14 May 1998 | I am researching family of Barnabus McGuire, a soldier in the Revolutionary War from Westmoreland and Cumberland counties in Pennsylvania. His son, Pendergast McGuire migrated west into Illinois with at least two of his sons, Jacob and Daniel and their families, They were joined by a third son, J. Pendergast McGuire who was married to Priscilla Yokum, a widow. This James Pendergast McGuire served in the 9th Calvary, Company M, Illinois volunteers in the Civil War. In the 1860 federal census, Jacob, his wife Jane and children James, Cordelia, Rachel, Mary Agnes, Ann and Sarah appear in Rapid City,Rock Island County, Ill., while Pendergast and his wife, Sarah, and son Daniel and his family are in nearby Pt. Byron. In the 1870 census, Jacob and his family are in Kewanee, Ill., as are Sarah (no Pendergast, presumed dead) and Daniel and his family . I am particularily interested in Jacob's son, James Pendergast McGuire, but welcome any information. I have been trying to find military records of Civil War service for Jacob's son, my great-grandfather, who was about 14 at the outset of the war. Family history says he might have been a drummer boy. Also,could Jacob or Pendergast (the elder) be in one of the early Rock Island books have seen mentioned. |

Karla Everett | 5 May 1998 | Researching HORNER and LEFTRIDGE from Rock Island. Does anyone have the lineage of Governor Horner? |
| GERRARD ALLEN |
Marilyn Gerrard-Hartman | 3 May 1998 | Here is the scenario for my gg grandfather, Joseph GERRARD: Joseph GERRARD was born in England in 1799, came to America about 1822, and married Adeline ALLEN at New Bedford MA in 1826. They had one child in MA, then Joseph's father died, and they returned to England about 1830 to settle the estate, staying for about 8 years and having several children there. When they came back to the US about 1838, they apparently made a bee-line to Rock Island, where the last of their children were born, including my g grandfather Frederick Henry. About 1858, the entire family moved to Nebraska to homestead. What I would love to discover, is why did they head for Rock Island immediately, as though (perhaps?) that was their destination as they left England? Adeline's sister Phoebe ALLEN (unmarried) and brother Leander ALLEN and his wife Emmelina GERRARD (Joseph's sister) may have already been at Rock Island, or may have accompanied Joseph & Adeline there. There was also a John GERRARD, who may have been Joseph's brother, that I am told was at Rock Island in 1840 - so he also could have been there prior to Joseph & Adeline. So, Joseph & Adeline may have headed there because family was there - but then what took the others there? The GERRARDs I named (other than Frederick Henry) were born in England and the ALLENs I named were born in Massachusetts. Anyone have any suggestions on how I might proceed with attempting to answer this question? |

In the 1860 census I found William and George LIPTON, born in Ireland 1839 & 1837also a John LUCAS born Ireland 1800. Any relatives out there? |

| BRUNER FISHER |
Sherry in CA | 11 Jan 1998 | Would like help confirming some information, if at all possible. Nicholas BRUNER married Hannah FISHER in 1821 in Lawrence Co., IN. They moved to Illinois and ended up in Rock Island Co. Their daughter, Catherine, married William (Valentine) Fisher in 1849 in Rock Island Co. From family sources, I've been told that all four of these people are buried at Dickson Cemetery. Would like to verify that they are indeed there, and also find out if their graves are marked. If marked, what is the information given on them. The only death date I have, is for Nicholas, who died in 1877. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
