Fought in the
Civil War with Co F, 3rd Wisconsin Infantry, and lost a leg.
Lived at Cass,
Hamilton Co, IA 1871-1903.

Ernest
Frederick Meissner (1859 - 1940) brother of Adolph:
married Martha Bradshaw at Beaver UT in 1883. They had 8 children who
survived beyond infancy: Ernest Richard, Frederick, George, Frank, Eva (Lefferson), Nellie (Rose), Martha (Bucknum),
and Lena (Stapleton ...)
I've only just
begun documenting Ernest and his descendants - there'll be more later.

Three Oleman
brothers - Charles, John, and Henry - settled in Oregon about 1890.
Ernest
Meissner moved to the same area about 1914, and his nephew (Adam) Joe
Meissner visited Ernest a few years later. Two connections resulted, between
Meissner family members and children of Henry Oleman.
Mildred, the
youngest daughter of Charles Oleman, wrote down some recollections about
her family, just before she died in 1990. These were preserved by Ardeth
McBride and are transcribed here.

New information about Loretta's
ancestors:
The
mother of William Brey (Bray) was probably Lovina Vanderpool, daughter of
Anthony Vanderpool (son of immigrants from the Netherlands) and of
Elizabeth Johnson (of Oneida Indian descent). Still nothing more about
William Brey's father, the "Mysterious Red-Haired Irishman."

from Cornwall researchers Edward Martin and Bob Richards during June 2004
includes a photocopy of William's will and much additional detail

Thomas Henry
Tregoning was an uncle of Grace T Tregoning who married Willard Scott Chaddock. Willard was a nephew of Samantha Andrus (g-grandmother
of Manly), and Grace was a stepdaughter of James Reed (uncle of Hazel).
Thomas Henry was involved in a tragic incident in Colorado in 1873, and
apparently died during his attempt to flee to Canada to escape murder
charges. (Added 2004).
