Descendants of Edmond
S. Whitcomb
Generation No. 1
1. EDMOND S.2WHITCOMB
(SAMUEL1) was
born 14 July 1814 in Dryden, Tompkins County, New York, and died 02 January
1893 in Little Suamico, Oconto County, Wisconsin. He married LOUISA
MARSH
1838 in Dryden, Tompkins County, New York, daughter of Marsh.
Notes
The founder of the Whitcomb family in Oconto County is
Edmond Whitcomb and his wife, Louisa Marsh. Edmond was born July 14, 1814
in Tompkins County New York. The parents of both Edmond and Louisa remain
unknown at this time. Louisa was born in Vermont in 1813. The 1820 Census
shows two Whitcomb families living in Dryden. Unfortunately the early census
did not name the children living in the households, only the ages and sex
of the children. The two Whitcomb families living in Dryden were Martin
and Samuel. Martin has no children and Samuel's household would be a match.
Marriage years narrowed down to 1838/39 based on Grantor/Grantee
Indexes for Dryden, Tompkins County New York. In 1838 land was sold to
Edmund Whitcomb by Levi Whitcomb (believed to be a brother) and in 1839
the same property is being sold by Edmund and Louisa Whitcomb.
Vital Records for the time were kept as part of the Town
Records. The records for the Town of Dryden were destroyed in a fire. Thus
birth dates and such are taken from secondary sources such as obituaries.
Some liberties are taken with assuming that Samuel is the father of Edmond.
All records (census) lean toward him as the only potential father.
In 1842, Edmond and Louisa are living in the Wisconsin
Territory, in Brighton, Racine (Later Kenosha) County, Wisconsin. Record
in on Page 5.
In 1846 & 1847 Wisconsin Territorial Census, the Whitcomb
family is still living in Brighton, now Kenosha County. Page 117 and 123
In 1855 the Wisconsin State Census shows Edmond and Louisa
are living in Geneva, Walworth County, Wisconsin. In 1860, the Federal
Census shows that they are still in Geneva, Walworth County, in Dwelling
number 172, Family number 152 found on page 216.
Louisa Marsh Whitcomb died in 1882. There is no death
record on file and no obituary was found. She is buried beside Edmond in
the Brookside Cemetery.
Edmond died on January 2nd, 1893 at the home of his son,
H. D. Whitcomb. There is no death record for Edmond either but his obituary
