I don't believe they normally name farms in LaSalle Co or
most of Illinois,
I would imagine that the address was Streator, Illinois. The
Prairie
Farmer Directory's that I have looked at do name the actual
owner
of the farm if it is not the one listed at the start. I
would presume
there is some relationship but no idea what it is. Otter
Creek is
probably the Township and the land is located in section 11
of that
township. Each township is normally 6mi by 6mi broken up
into
1 mil square sections with 36 se
Can anyone shed some light on a church that used to be located at or near
Baker, in Adams township, called the St. Petrie's Church?

Hello LaSalle:
Would anyone have any information on Michael Dooley and Mary Tarpy?
When they were married? Naturalization papers? Death & burial? Any other
Dooleys or Tarpys? Etc?
They appear in the 1870 and 1880 Peru census, living on Calhoun (?)
St. Two children that I know of: Ellen, born @1860 (does not appear in 1880
census) and John Michael, born 1862.
Thanks
Streator is the name of a town in LaSalle Cty. Look like his address was Route
6, Streator. I do not know about the rest. Audrey

Hi! am new to the list - just subscribed. I just found out my ggrandfather
was in Northville township in 1860. Per the census he was there & married to
Adeline with six children (Josephene, Eugenie, George, Adeline, David, and
possibly Adam). Adolph or Adolf, and it seems, Adeline came from Alsace,
France - I believe in 1850. Tried to find him in the 1850 census, but no
luck. Perhaps he came after the census, although the oldest girl Josephene
was 10 in 1960 and said to be born in ILL.
Somethin
Jim,
Haven't talked to you for awhile but saw your message and I have a
brother-in-law who lives in Baker and I can ask him if he knows anything
about the church you're looking for. Have a great day. (I am on this list
as well as DeKalb because a branch of the Townsend family lived in LaSalle
County.)

Lynn: Could you check your Lasalle County book sometime for the surname of
Farritor/Faritor/Ferriter? I would really appreciate any information on this family
(my Ggrandfather and his mother and siblings). They were Irish and it seems to be
difficult to find much on the Irish. They were mostly in Streator. Audrey Annable

Hi Jack,
Please let me clear up something. I don't own a copy of the LaSalle County
history. I live in Dallas and make use of it at the library here. I'll be
happy to check the names for you whenever I get to the library again, but
you might want to post your request to all subscribers. You'll probably get
a faster response!
Sincerely
Lynn

Does the name Steven(Stephen) Sowitz have a connection with anyone? We have a
picture of the THREE STEVES with the following names
Stephen Cesar
Stephen Pfeifer
Stephen Sowitz
They must have been very close as this is done professionally and in a large
oval frame. Cesar and Pfeifer both were from the Villach, Austria area and
would like to know the connection of Steve Sowitz.
Thank you for any help.

Steve,
Alfred Gaff would be the name. Streator R6 is the post office address. Otter
Creek, Sec11, is the location- Section 11 of Otter Creek Township, La Salle
County. T120a means he is the tenant on 120 acres. Mrs. H. Gaff is the landowner.
(1902) means he has been a resident of La Salle County since 1902. The 1880
census shows a Henry Gaff and family living in Otter Creek township. Mrs. H. is
probably Henry's wife Rachel. Unsure of the relation to Alfred.

My ancestor Henry Thomas PEARSON moved from Ohio to La Salle County about
1844 or 1845. He apparently settled in Mendota. He and his wife Delilah had
8 children (Michael, Sarah, Angelina, Evander, Ellen, James, Dell Raye, Lewis
Ulysses Grant) all of whom were born in the county. Looking for any
information available. Thank you. Becky
I'm not sure if this family is connected, the heading of your query makes me
wonder if I missed the original guestion, but I'm sending this file of
Studebakers, just in case. This is all I have on Studebakers but they
connect with Brays and Waters of Utica, LaSalle.

Looking for information on John Stobs or Stubbs born 1824 Lancashire Eng. he
came to La Salle in 1846 and Ann Mary Jaques aka Anna, Ann or Mary born 1826
Northumberland Eng.? she came to Sa Salle in 1856. Seeking cousins and
ancestors.
I am looking for relatives/descendants of Canute and Andrea (Anderson)
Thompson, both of Norway, who were married in Leland, LaSalle County,
Illinois, sometime between 1844-1858 (sorry for the vague window).
They had seven children that I know of:
Matilda (b. May, 1858) m. Hugh Henry (of Ireland) and had 4 children, 3 I can
name:
Walter Harold; Ruby F., and Lulu.
[Note: Matilda went to in Muskegon, Michigan with daughter Ruby
Gundy-1920s]
Luddiak (b. 1863) - last known address (1913) West Plains,
I am looking for information on CHARLES WARE b. 1812 Pa m. CAROLINE WAGNER b.
1819 Pa. They came west and appear on the 1850 census of Marshall county
where 3 of their children were born.
The BLM site shows 5 parcels of Land to CHARLES B. WARE in Kendall Co., 1839,
1844, 1846. Kendall Co. has 11 records of land sales - both school, and
Federal purchased in Chicago by Charles Ware of LaSalle Co.
Does anybody have any more information about CHARLES WARE??????
Would really like more information and
