• Notes

  Source of this child: http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=homden&id=I135884 The 1860 Census has a couple, Albert and Charlotte, and their five children living in Wingville, Grant County, Wisconsin. Albert is a stone mason. Their ages seem appropriate and two of their children are shown as having been born in Ohio. None of the children are named Alonzo, though. He would have been 15 years old in 1860. Old enough to be out on his own? The five children are named: Elizabeth (age 14 - Ohio), Naeiah E. (age 9 - Ohio), Cecilia M. (age 5 - Wisc.), Oliver L. (age3 - Wisc.), Henry B. (age 5/12 - Wisc.). If this is, in fact, the right family, then it would appear that Albert and Charlotte moved from Ohio by 1854/55. His wife died in 1865 in Montfort, Wisconsin which is just a short distance east of Wingville. In the 1870 Census, Albert would already be dead, but there is an Alonzo, age 25 and born in Ohio, living in Mt. Vernon, Iowa. He is a stone mason. The next name is hard to make out. Might be Jennie, age 19. Another female, age 15 named Alia. Are these siblings rather than a husband and wife? In the 1910 Census, Alonzo is living in Boulder, Colorado with wife Dora and two sons, Wesley and Wilber. Dora is shown as being the mother of 5, with 5 still living though only two are living with them. RESIDENCES: 1850 - Brooklyn, Cuyahoga, Ohio (probably on Newburgh St -- now Denison Ave.) 1860 - Wingville, Grant, Wisconsin (probably moved here about 1854) 1867 - Mt. Vernon, Black Hawk, Iowa (probably moved here in 1865, after his wife died, to be with his son)
