I am looking for any information I can get on Henry Leonard REBILLARD and wife Alice BURT who lived in Benson Co. Warwick Twsp in 1909. I have a death certificate of a daughter that was born to them in 1909 and died 2 days later. I wonder if they might be on the 1910 census.
My grandfather probably came to Minnewaukan with his sister Margeret (HOUCHIN) MANLY and her husband by covered wagon in 1901. Sheridan BURGESS and his wife Maude are relatives of my grandmother . Maude BURGESS was my grnadmother's niece.
I would appreciate any information you can provide. Sincerely, Leonard GROEHLER

Family stories had the ELLS boys going to North Dakota to do wheat farming. So I managed to locate land grants to a Sam and Jacob ELLS. While on vacation in summer 02 we went to Minnewaukan, North Dakota and talked to the librarian and the local historian (Mr. Plummer). We got so much information on that trip but only left me wanting more. Mr. Plummer gave me his e/mail address which I unfortunately lost. Mr. Plummer if you see this please send it to me again. Our Jacob came to Chicago and begot this end of the family. But Sam stayed there in ND and his boys (that we heard about) went on to Canada. Mr. Plummer mentioned Sam's granddaughter placed a headstone in the cemetary who was from Canada. I would like more info from that granddaughter and/or her family. thanks. becky

In 1920 he is widowed and a daughter Amelia NELSON is living with him, with her children John, Bert and Hilda. Does anyone recognize this family? Thanks very much in advance.

My grandparents, Francis M. HOUCHIN and Myrtle M. EIGHMY were married in Minnewaukan 1909 and lived in the area for 8-10 years. Their mailing address was just Minnewaukan, ND, so I am not sure where they lived in Minnewaukan, however three children were born in Minnewaukan. Villa M. HOUCHIN born 1909, Donald HOUCHIN born 1911, Ethel HOUCHIN born 1913.
