WHITE // MONTGOMERY // GARNER // GOSS..............Michele J. Simon ....Dec 1997......HOMEPAGE

http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/s/i/m/michele-j-simon/index.html

I'm not 100% positive that Charles Goss White is James brother. I found Charles on the 1850 JDC census listed with Jonathan Jr and since his middle name was Goss and I discovered that Sarah Bathrick Goss was Jonathan Jr's mother I figured it was a safe assumption. But if I'm wrong Its a Biggie.  Another biggie is Edgar Montgomery White, the son of Rachel and Charles.  He is my grandfather but nobody has seen hide nor hair of him since 1927.  Since the Whites all seem to end up in Evergreen Cemetery, I'm ready to come out and look for his tombstone. Maybe somebody shipped him back from  wherever he was.  Jonathon White (senior)-James father is from New Hampshire. I'll have to look there I guess. But I thought there might be some death information on either him or Sarah B. around JDC somewhere. It seems likely that they would have died there since their kids were also there.  Rachel's parents' Abel and Polly are also mysteries. They were on the JDC  census for 1850 along with Rachel and two brothers George and Henry. But in 1860 Rachel was married and the rest of the Montgomery's were nowhere to be found. (at least by me). Certainly hope the Whites didn't do them in!  I did, just a few days ago, send an order to Mr. Terry Miller to get the  whole Hanover book. There maybe something listed under another surname  that may jump out at me.  Another name that keeps cropping up is GARNER. There is some connection to the White's but I don't know what. Perhaps Mr. Miller's books will tell all.  At any rate, if you hit on any more "goodies" I would appreciate them. If  not, thanks anyway, your website was where I first started nine months ago and if it wasn't for that I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am now.

SPENSLEY...............Christine Amsden Dec 1997  I am searching for the surname of Spensley.  I am interested to find out what happened to those of our ancestors who came to this area - probably in the company of people named CALVERT, HARKER, BRUNSKILL to name just a few.  Thank you!

SHOT TOWER HILL................Heinz Sprenger  Oct 1997 In an article, taken from the book "History of Jo Daviess County", 1904, mentions that  **Galena was first called by the early French explorers "La Pointe, " which literally means "The Point," and it is probable that it was so called because of what is known as Shot Tower Hill,...**.

This statement arose a lot of interest from my side, because I'm performing research on historical shot towers, about which I'm going to prepare a worldwide overview.  I know about the shot towers of Dubuque and Spring Green/Helena which were in operation in the middle of the last centruy and it is well documented that a large amount of lead came from Galena, starting with lead mining in 1823.  Would someone have information on the above subject.  Thank you for your help!

I have been told 2 very different stories about his death. I heard that he had killed 2 men and then was hanged himself by two Englishmen. I was also told he died in a mining accident. I speculate to cover up a not so pretty story?   Hanora probably moved with her 2 small children to Jackson County IA to be near her mother and siblings. There she married again on 10 Aug 1848.  Does anyone know if there was a paper that might have obituaries on microfilm for the time frame 1844 to 1848? DebbyJP@aol.com
