Mary Estelle SIMMONS married Walter Watson KINNICK on 6 Feb 1862 in Bureau County, Illinois. She was born 8 Aug 1843 and died 7 Jan 1909 in Bureau Co.
Her parents were George SIMMONS (b. abt 1815 in PA) and Mary Elizabeth LEE (b. abt 1825, KY).
Mary and Walter are my 2nd great grandparents. I know most of the families in my ancestry at this level... but not this one.
I want to identify Mary Estelle's brothers and sisters and their descendants. I have been able to discover very little about this family. They may have moved to Nebraska, but I know little more. Any suggestions or contacts would be welcomed.
Families are forever! ;-)

More on Daily Blogging Themes
GeneaBloggers [see geneabloggers.com] has suggested using Daily Blogging Themes. They suggest... "Many genealogy and family history bloggers like to post every day but at times are at a loss for ideas. Using the series of blogging themes below is not only a great way to create new content, but also lets you participate in a community effort with other genealogy bloggers." Genea-Musings added the last two.
Check it out! Will this work for you?
