Surname: Wells, Boyd
Query: Need parent of Susanna Boyd Wells. She and husband Enos Wells living in Lewis Co. in the 1850 census. About 1852 they moved on to Indiana. I think her father may have lived with them at some point, and died in Lewis. His brother Alexander, also lived in Lewis. Need any possible info. She has been my brick wall for 12 years. I have put queries on mailing lists for years. They are never read.

Surname: Bresbois
Query : Looking for any information on the siblings of August Bresbois. He married Melvina Carroll on 20 Jan 1900 in Lewis County, TN. August and Melvina had ten children [nine girls and one boy] who were raised in Hohenwald. According to family, his sisters married and lived in the Nashville, TN area but I cannot find a trace of them. I also have no idea where his two brothers lived and would like to also find information on them. According to immigration/ship’s records, his siblings were Marie/Mary Bresbois born 1872, Henri/Henry Bresbois born 1878, Elisa Bresbois born 1884, and Alphonse Bresbois born 1890. His father died in St Louis in 1913 and is buried there. His mother died at the State Hospital in Nashville in 1933 and is buried in an unmarked grave in Downey Cemetery, Hohenwald, TN [according to her death certificate]. There is no mention of his siblings in any records. I am willing to share information [ancestors and descendants] that I have in my database.
