Ink Sauce Genealogy Wing
I decided to open a separate wing of the site for the descendant reports I've written, since they're not of general interest, but do deserve a home on the Web. So here they are. A name index may be available at some later time.
These are works in progress. More information will be added as it is collected and verified. In particular, biographical information is lacking. Visitors to the site are encouraged to contribute anything that may supplement the existing reports.
I may have posted the names of some descendants who are still living. Since I'm not in contact with all branches of these families, it's sometimes impossible to be certain who is still alive and who is not. Further information in this regard is always welcome.
The family of Samuel Steele (1775–1859) appears to have come from Scots Irish immigrants to colonial Pennsylvania. They were pioneers in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana before my branch finally settled in Johnson County, Iowa, near the village of Green Castle. Other branches lived in Olena, Henderson County, Illinois; Rockville, Parke County, Indiana; Keosauqua, Van Buren County, Iowa; and Bloomfield, Davis County, Iowa. Includes families of Babcock, Ewing, Ferguson, Gardner, Hiatt, Markham, Steele, and Wolfe in Iowa; Gardner and Steele in Illinois; Cruft, Hildreth, McCune, and Steele in Indiana; Steele in Colorado; Sherman in Arizona, Kansas, New York, and Washington; Karr in Oregon; and Ewing in New Mexico. Also available in outline format.
Niklaus Gilomen (1782–1857) came to Illinois in 1835 with six children and several grandchildren. They had been resident at Buchholterberg (parish of Oberdiessbach) in the district of Thun, in the Swiss canton of Bern, with citizenship in the same canton at the village of Scheunenberg in the parish of Wengi bei Büren. Includes families of Bircher, Demmling, Eggen, Fellhauer, Gafner, Gilomen, Haegler, Iberg, Lang, Maurer, Mick, Reinacher, Rock, Rohr, Staeger, Tscharner, Waage, Weber, Willhauk, Zilch, Zimmermann, and Zobrist in Illinois; and Gilomen, Hutchinson, Iberg, Kurz, Lieberman, Moy, Partridge, and Schultz in Wisconsin. Also available in outline format.
The family of Johannes Döbeli arrived in America in 1843, from the village of Holderbank in the canton of Aargau. The oldest daughter, Maria, married Christian Waage, originally of Dannenberg, Germany, during that same year. Descendants of these families can be found in Illinois, Kansas, New Jersey, and other areas. Includes families of Bardill, Ferguson, Hellman, Hurliman, Krenzer, Plocher, Rozier, Tschannen, Waage, and Wernle in Illinois; and Doebele, Kleiner, Riniker, and Waage in Kansas. Also available in outline format.
Christian Hirni (1809–1875) came with his second wife and five children to Illinois in 1845 from Beatenberg in the district of Interlaken and canton of Bern. Ten more children were born in America. Descendants live all over the United States and in Alberta, Canada. Includes families of Binder, Frickenstein, Gardner, Gilomen, Kamm, Lang, Michael, Reinacher, Waage, Weber, and Zilch in Illinois; Hirni in California, Florida, Missouri, and Washington; Hyde, Ponder, and Weatherhead in California; and Hammer in Alberta and Florida. Also available in outline format.
This is the Ink Sauce Genealogy Wing. If you see any incorrect information, would like information about yourself removed, or would like to contribute missing information, don't hesitate to write. Remove the extra dot from genes@ink.sauce.com (it's the first of the two). I know, I know, squids don't have wings. Just humor me, okay?
