I'm looking for descendants of my great grandfather's sister, Elizabeth. Elizabeth SMITH married Earl (Ike) BALDWIN in the late 1800s sometime. Evidently, he died relatively young. Family information says she remarried laster to a man named ROBERTS. She had at least 2 children, Will and Bebe (usually short for Elizabeth). In the obituary for her sister Nancy in 1932, she was living in Maryland. An article about this family in a Beloit newspaper sometime in the 40s specified that she had died at Will's home in Lonaconing. Would love to find some cousins. Does anyone have any information about this family? Thanks!

I am searching desperately for my great grandfather's sister, Elizabeth SMITH. Her family was originally from Newfield, New York, but came west to Rock County, Wisconsin the the 1860s. We are searching for Elizabeth's descendants and those of her 9 brothers and sisters for a possible family reunion. Elizabeth married Earl F. BALDWIN (we think his nickname was Ike), a Wisconsin 13th Infantry volunteer in the Civil War, and then it appears he died pretty early. I have his pension file on order. Family data has that she remarried, to a man named ROBERTS (no first name). Her two children were Will and Bebe (probably short for Elizabeth), probably by BALDWIN. She died sometime after 1932 in Lonaconing, Allegany County, Maryland. (We know this since she appeared as next of kin in the obituary for her sister, who died in 1932). If anyone knows ANYTHING about Elizabeth or her children, please contact me.

My great grandfather, Michael PIPER, was originally from Old Town,Allegany Co. MD. He worked as a blacksmith for the coal mines in western MD until his death in the late 1890s. I have no other information about him or his people in Old Town, other than his mother was supposed to have been a full blooded Shawnee Indian. Are there any histories of the 'Pipers of Oldtown' already in existence? It is my understanding that there are many with this surname in that area,and that they are all related.

We know that Margaret died young. Martin and Margaret (maybe called Rose) had a son, Leon, in 1901, and a son, William, on June 25, 1905. Margaret died sometime after William's birth. The 1910 census shows Annie, Leon, and William living with grandparents-- Thomas J. and Emiline CHAMBERS. This CHAMBERS family is next door to the Nolan's in the 1900 census.

Now, the 1880 census does not show a Margaret CHAMBERS living with Thomas and Emiline. Their listed daughter, Cecelia, would be about the right age, but I have information from a correspondent that Cecelia married another: November 22, 1892 St Marys of the Annunciation R.C Church Lonaconing M.D. The marriage of Patrick NOLAN and Cecilia CHAMBERS " Cecilia's parents were Thomas and Emma (FOGEL or FOGLE ) Chambers ( Emeline) Ceremony by The Rev Thomas Stanton witnesses: Katherine O'HARA ( Catherine) and Daniel ROWAN I would like Margaret's birth,marriage, and death dates, as well as proof she was the daughter of Thomas J. and Emiline Chambers.
