COOK

My great-grandfather was Mark Cook (but I have a family member telling me it may have been Thomas Mark Cook, although it was shown as Mark Cook in the federal census) I know I found the right person because my grandfather Lawrence Cook was shown as one of their children and at that time he was 6 which puts his birth year at 1904, which was my grandfathers birth year. Mark Cook was born 1874 in Illinois, both of his parents were born in Ohio. He married Edith in 1901. Edith was born 1883 in Nebraska, her father was born in Ohio and her mother in Iowa. They lived in Olive Township in 1910 at least according to the census.

DOBSON

[Note: These folks were known to have lived in Seward County, but may have moved to, or gone to church in Ulysses. - John McCoy]

My great grandfather was Park Dobson, who came to the US from Mohill, Leitrim Co, Ireland with his parents in either 1863 or '73. His father was also Park, and Park, Jr. was a child at the time. There was a large family, and I haven't determined how many of the children came at the same time the parents did. I suspect some of the children had already come over before. My main questions have been, why would they have come to Nebraska, possibly during the Civil War. I have failed to find ship's records for them, and have recently changed my thinking that it may have been 1873 rather than '63 as family "records" tell me because I recently found a certified copy of Naturalization of Park Dobson in 1875 which indicates residency of 2 years. I believe that there were already some Dobsons there at the time in the 1870 census records, but not mine. I do know that there were two large families in Mohill, the Thomas Dodsons and the Park Dobsons. Trying to determine intermarriages between the two families may be a big task, if even possible. Every family seemed to have a Park and a Thomas. What ever books or information you can point me to would be appreciated! Thank you!! Nancy Lematta, Vancouver, WA (Nancile@AOL.com)

EAST, LAUVER LAWVER, WAY WHAY

My husbands family all came from the Butler County are and I don't find any information on any of them. My father-in-law was Harry Fredrick EAST who was born or lived in Ulysses and his birth date was Dec 28, 1916. His Father was Jess EAST who lived in the Brainard area and was born on Aug. 7, 1893. Jess's wife was Daisy LAUVER or LAWVER who came from Rising City as far as I know and her birth date was Dec 18 1895. I know that there was a family connection with the Way or Whay family in Rising City and that my husband used to refer to his Uncle Ray Way. I don't know if there were any deeds or land records to these families. I believe that Ray Way had a large cattle ranch in Rising City. I believe there is still one member of the family still living there, but I don't remember her first name. I know the last name is WAY. My name is Marilyn A. EAST and my husband is Michael H. EAST, who is the oldest son of Harry F. EAST. I can be reached at the following e-mail address. (MEAST1946@AOL.COM)

ROGERS

I am trying to locate any information on the J. C. ROGERS family that was on the 1900 Butler County census, with wife Annie and son Walter. I also think that J. C. Roger's brother, H. C.

Rogers appears on the 1880 Coles County, Ill., census, so I figure he was "on his way to" Butler County, Nebr. His children were John P, Minnie, James, and Walter. Any help will be appreciated.

SCHUBERT

I am looking for information regarding my great grandparents, Charles K. and Augusta Miller Schubert. They came to the USA from Romerstadt, Austria and settled in Butler County, Nebraska. Charles arrived at Castle Rock, NY around 1880 with Augusta arriving sometime the following year. Upon arrival to the USA, Charles, like so many of the Austrian immigrants, headed for Nebraska. He and Augusta were married in Butler County in 1883. I have visited Ellis Island in search of any information I could find on them. However, I was told that the immigrants who came prior to 1890 landed across the harbor at Castle Rock, and until recently their records had been thought to have been destroyed.
