The family moved to Leavenworth from Wisconsin in 1858. I believe that Marietta must have died sometime before 1900, because only Clement appears in the 1900 census.
I found an entry for Edward in Cutler's History of the State of Kansas. However, except for my g-grandmother Emily, I know very little about the rest of the family.
Emily married my g-grandfather Fred Monroe RICHARDSON, who worked at the Leavenworth Bag Manufacturing Company. My grandfather Fred Monroe RICHARDSON, Jr. was born in Leavenworth 3 Nov 1893. The family moved to Chicago sometime between 1900 and 1910.
I would appreciate any information on these family members.
I do know that his Mother-in-law, a Martha Ward was living in Kickapoo/Leavenworth area at the time. Is it possible that she owned property and Sylvanus Harless was buried on her property? Wouldn't there have been a record kept?
Can you please help me to find my Great Grandfather's burial site. He was a Civil war veteran and I'd like to honour him with providing a tombstone.
I sure would appreciate any help that you'd be willing to offer. I look forward to hearing back from you....thank you so much.

I'd also love to get in touch with Donna Merrill, who posted on this forum a few years back, though that email for her no longer works.
Thanks,
