The 1875 Kansas census of Fairmount, Leavenworth County, shows Luther (73 years old), Ann (72 years old), Joseph (32 years old), B. Brown (30 years old), F. A. Brown (13 years old) and Henry (9 years old). All were born in New York except Henry who was born in Illinois. The two kids, prior to March 1, 1875, have attended school for three months. All six migrated from Illinois to Kansas. Don't know when but suspect November, 1874.
The 1880 Census shows Luther, Ann, Joseph and Henry still living together in Fairmount. They are about five years older, of course. There is no mention in that 1880 family unit of F. A. Brown or B. Brown. Joseph is a widower.
The 1900 census shows Joseph, still a widower and living in Fairmount. Don't know when the others died, where they died or what happened to them.
Does anybody know what happened to any of these people?
I have 1835-1860 NY census information about Luther, Ann and Joseph. Believe Luther & Ann to be my ggg-grandparents but can't prove it. I share information willingly.
Thanks.

After his first wife died in 1862, he remarried to Lucy Willfoung, March 23, 1865. They had 2 children Anne b- 2-8-1866 , William Welsey b- 1-26-1869.
Any information on him I would appericate it. Thanks sheila
The family migrated to Virginia in 1890 and all the children with the exception of William came along which leads me to believe he died during that period as there is no records of him in the census records after 1880.
Any information anyone can supply will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
