Notes

From the 1880 Census of Wisconsin, Adams County, Springfield TWP,
June 24th. It stated that William could read and write and occupation was
a Farmer. William was 38 at the time of the census. That would make his
birth date around 1842. The census also stated that he was born in New
York. From the picture of the headstone that Aunt Anne sent me it looked
like he died in 1918. Both of Williams parents were born in New York.
William's wife Elizabeth was 35 at the time of the 1880 census.
This would make her birth year around 1845 and this also looked the same
on the headstone from the picture that Anne sent me. The 1880 census also
stated that both of Elizabeth and her parents were born in England.
August 21, 1996 I was at the LDS. I came across Wisconsin Marriages
pre 1907. Fiche # 6331479 , fiche 77. It had William Ketcham married May
1872 in Adams County, Vol 02, Page 0040. County YB ADA, Vol M sequence
02072. I was so thrilled to find this date. It had people listed
seperately without their spouse. I Looked for an Elizabeth Cowing but did
not find one. This will need more investigation before this date stands.
