Subject: Moore Family in Concord
Elizabeth
T. Moore, believed born
Adam
and Elizabeth Petrie lived in Concord until 1874, when they moved to Unity,
Marathon, WI. All 3 Petrie children - George Walter (1854), Edith (1856) and
Annie (1861) were born in Concord. Adam Petrie is found in Concord on the
1850 Census and the family is in Concord on the 1860 and the 1870 Census.
I
would like to find the parents and siblings of Elizabeth T. Moore Petrie. I
believe Elizabeth's middle name was Theda and
that her mother's first name was Theda. I have
recently noticed a Theda Moore living in
Concord, in the house of Austin Kellogg, in the 1860 and 1870 Census. This
could be the widowed mother of Elizabeth Moore Petrie, and raises the issue of
whether Austin Kellogg's wife, Laura A., could have been a Moore. I have not
found Elizabeth Moore in Concord in 1850 - before her marriage. I may have
missed her, or she may not have been in Concord before her marriage in 1852.
Adam and
Elizabeth Petrie's son, George Walter Petrie, married Louisa Alida Moore, daughter of John James Moore (buried
in Jefferson Co., WI. in 1883). Their marriage was in Concord on
I
don't know if Elizabeth T. Moore and Louisa Alida
Moore are related.
I
would appreciate any information on Elizabeth Theda
Moore's parents and siblings.
Thank
you, Jim

Greetings
- I am researching the surnames Laabs

Jefferson County.
I may be a
bit off the mark here as I do not know if they had residency there, but reports
are that they were married (sorry, do not know the city) in your county.
August
Trester and Christina geb. Laabs were
married on
It is
believed that the Tresters were either from Waukesha
or Milwaukee Counties, before that Sheboygan, before that Bohemia. The Laabs family is
supposed to be related to the Laabs Cheese Factory

I
have found conflicting information on where they lived. It
was either Jefferson Co or Whitewater. The only town named
Whitewater I can find is in Walworth Co. Was there ever a Whitewater in
Jefferson Co? Is Whitewater on the border of the two counties?

Two or three of their children were born here in Wisconsin and I think one of
the children died here.

Hello
. . . my name is Christine Giles. I’ve been researching my family tree
for some time and I fee I may have a connection with Watertown, WI.
Recently, I found information about a plague sweeping through Watertown around
1850. My ancestor, George Washington Hall,
was, according to his civil war papers, born in Watertown in about 1842.
Is there any record of those who died, any gravestones
still standing or other information about specific people from this era?
I found our GWH at the age of 14 in Linn County, IA, living with an elderly
couple to whom he was not related. Information says that he had been in
Iowa for about 6 years; apparently, he was an orphan. My suspicion is
that his parents and/or siblings perished in the plague in Watertown.
Perhaps he was sent away to avoid it. Can you give me any help at all
with this?
Thank
you so much, Christine

Subject: Rome / Sullivan Twp old church and cemetery
records
I just received information that Rev George Zellhoefer was licensed 1857 to the ministry at the "Walter's
Church"; Rev J G (probably John) Miller aided and abetted....
Along with that was other information that George's brother Leonhart Zellhoefer & wife
Christine Pfeifer (d.1901) were buried in the Lutheran
cemetery at Rome. I know that some of their offspring are buried at St
Peter's in Helenville.
George & Leonhart had a rift serious
enough that they probably did not attend the same church, even tho both had property nearer the Riverview cemetery, at
least during their initial years in Sullivan Township. George & brother Mike remained close, however, and Mike was an Elder
in their church. George eventually moved his family to Iowa, but
Mike's family is buried in Riverview East.
I have numerous other ancestors buried in Riverview, the first of
those being in unmarked graves as the result of a cholera plague which took 37
lives, those being the beginning of Riverview West, and many others
resting in Riverview East. Beside Riverview East is an old frame building
which looks as tho it was a 1-room school or church,
I think now used as a part-time home.
So I ask if anyone knows if the Riverview cemetery
was/is associated with an evangelical/lutheran
church, and could tell us all something about the history of that church
in/around Rome in those early days? What was it
called? aka Walter's church? Was such
the predecessor of the church now on
My own interest is that I hope to find old church or newspapers
records which might help track the 4 children of
my g.g.gf Mike, as all were given for adoption after his death in 1865,
and no adoption or birth records exist elsewhere - I have searched that to
exhaustion!
Thank you for any bit of help!

Subject: Researching Strege and Schliewe families
Hello / I'm afraid that my family history comes
mostly from oral history, so I cannot guarantee accuracy of dates/info. Here is what I have been told by my
great-aunt, who married into this family: William Schliewe
(born c. 1851 in Pomerania) and his wife Augusta (born c. 1860 in Wis.) resided
in the Watertown area, where they worked a farm. Their daughter Ida Schliewe (born c. 1881) married Albert Strege
(also referred to as Emil Strege - born c. 1883,
appears to be deceased before 1930). I have located Albert and Ida on the 1920
census as living in Milwaukee, WI with their children Theodore, Doris, Josie,
Lillie, and Ellsworth (Bud) Strege. Lillie married Edris
Baker c. 1920, and Doris married Charlie Abbaden
(sp?), both boarders who emigrated from Turkey. According to the family, the Strege family once owned many businesses in Watertown such
as a bowling alley, grocery store, and electric company, but I have not made
any connection to Albert/Emil yet.
Albert was working as a drayman when he suffered an accident that
somehow forced the family to move to Milwaukee, where they then operated a
boarding house. If anyone has any info connected to this information, I would
truly appreciate it!
