Subject: McAllen/McCall Families
I'm
looking for possible descendants of my McAllen and McCall families.
They were only in Dodge Co. for a few years. I don't think my McCall is
related to the Frank & Edward McCall families.
James McCall was born
Anna McAllen had two brothers: Owen & Peter. I found Owen in
the 1855 census in Trenton Township. His declaration of intent was filed
His wife was Mary Boyle. Their first child John was born in NY about
1852; Thomas born Feb 1855 and Isabelle born
Brother Peter was born
There may also be a sister Mary. I found a Mary McAllen who married a
John Larkin with land in Mackford, Green Lake Co. about 1858. Don't know
if she is connected or not. In the Famine Immigrants I found a
Peter and Mary McAllion who arrived in NY in Aug 1851.
A possible brother, Charles, stayed in NY.
The parents for the McAllens were John McAllen and Isabella Hughes. I
have no other info. For James McCall I have no parents or sibling
names.
Please contact me at ANDERKAT@aol.com. Thanks! / Kathy Anderson

Howdy - I’m trying to do some research on William Bickle my wife’s relative who came from England and settled in Wisconsin. I have attached what I have as far as research and was hoping see what you might have on him. I’m confused as it seems like he settled in Jackson county but part of the family may have settled in Jefferson as well.
All the best / Bob Scott
William Bickle and Maryette Alvard
Ira’s Bickle’s father was William Bickle. William was born in the English County of Devon also known as Devonshire in 1827. Devon is located in the southwestern corner of England.
Devonshire, England
From “Barclay's Complete and Universal English Dictionary, 1842.”
"A county of England, reaching from the Bristol to the English Channel, and bounded by Cornwall, and Somersetshire, and Dorsetshire. It is 69 miles in length, and 60 in breadth, and is divided into 31 hundreds. It is very hilly, and abounds in huge granite rocks, some of whose peaks are above 1500 feet in height. The highland is covered with wide moors, of which Dartmoor is the most extensive. But in the valleys and lower ground the soil is fertile. Its rivers are the Exe, the Culm, the Dart, the Tamar, the Otter, &c. Some parts of its coasts are composed of lofty cliffs, but at others there is a beautiful sandy shore. The air and climate are so mild and salubrious that invalids often retire to its sea-ports for the winter. Limestone, granite, some building-stone, and a species of wood-coal are found here, as well as some kinds of variegated marble. It produces corn, &c. and fruit trees, especially apples, whence much cider is made. Its fisheries also are of value. Exeter is its chief city. Population: 533, 460. It sends 22 members to parliament."
Plymouth is
now the largest city in Devon. In 1842 Devon was mainly agricultural but all was not rural bliss. Conditions
could be harsh, open sewers and poor housing were the
norm. Many emigrated at this time to avoid the economic misery of living in
Devon. With no husband and three young boys William’s
mother decided to start a new life in America. Her journey to get here was long
and perilous. You have to admire her courage to set out on this venture without
a husband. She had to have been a woman of strong constitution.
According to David J. Bickle, William’s son… After his (William’s) father's accidental death, his mother with her three young sons took passage on a sailing vessel bound for the United States. They mostly likely left from Plymouth as that was a major sailing port. A severe storm blew the ship off course and at its conclusion the travelers found themselves near the southern tip of South America at the Falkland Islands. After re-setting their course, they eventually made their way to the United States. In time after a long overland trip they settled with their Welsh friends in Wisconsin. William owned a gristmill near Portage, WI which is about 40 miles north of Madison, WI.
According to Joseph H. Bickle, another of William’s sons… His
father settled in Wisconsin before the Civil War which was 1861-1865. He was a
solder on the side of the Union during the war. William was born in England and
came to the United States as a steerage passenger when he was a boy. He left
England because of his antipathy for the government. He settled in Wisconsin
and at first and gathered cranberries, sold evergreen trees and farmed for
wages. He earned enough money to pay the passage to the states for his parents
and other children. The family finally all settled in Wisconsin and the parents
are buried there. William’s father was also named William and young William was
Note: Given the age and date of death according to Joseph, William would have been born in 1816?
Maryette Alvard’s family was originally from New York State. Maryette was born in Oswego, NY in 1839. Oswego is located on Lake Erie about 90 miles east of Rochester. Maryette’s father’s name was David B Alvard and his wife was named Anna. The Alvard’s migrated to Jackson County, Wisconsin in 1856 and established a trading post with the Winnebago Indians. The Indians were playmates of the Bickle and Alvard children. They taught them to shoot the bow and arrow and to do many of the Indian dances. In later years William and his children would entertain or scare their grandchildren with authentic war whoops they had learned.
On
On the 1860 US Census for Manchester, Jackson County, WI William and Maryette show up as married and living there. William states that he is 30 years old and Maryette who is going by Margett says that she is 20 years old. They have a William A. Bickle age 40 living with them as well their first born son Charles age 2 (b.1857) William stated that he was born in NY but he was in fact born in England. It looks like William & Maryette must have married in either 1856 or 1857. Either way they were married not to long after the Alvard’s moved to Wisconsin.
There is a record of a William
Bickle getting married on
There is another Bickle family
living 90 miles away in Mineral Point, WI. Thomas Bickle age 32 and his wife
Sarah are living with their daughter Mary age 9 and 35 year old Richard Bickle.
Could this be William’s two brothers? Thomas and Richard both state that they
we born in England
In
the late 1860’s William Bickle and his family along with Maryette's parents,
the Alvard's, packed up and moved. Their eventual goal was to settle in Kansas.
Traveling by covered wagon, oxen, mules and cattle, the women rode while the
men and older boys walked and herded the stock. On their way to Kansas they
settled in Iowa for some time. This is where Ira Bickle was born.
