From: Sharon Welch 20 June 1998
I am looking for information on my ancestors Reinhart SINSEL and Catharine GUDY
(also spelled GUTA, GULKTE, GOODY, and GUTHRIE) who were married in Illinois
(probably Putnam County) between 1850 and 1860. I have found them in the 1860
Granville, Putnam County, Illinois Census showing Rhinehart SINSEL to be 33
years of age from Bavaria, Germany, and Catharine, age 33, along with two
children, Anna, age 1, and Henry, age 1/12. Reinhart SINSEL was born in Bavaria,
Prussia on 27 February 1827. He emigrated from Prussia c1857. One family story
states that he had two brothers also living in America, one in New York, the
other in Pennsylvania. Another states that four brothers arrived together in New
York. He met and married Catharine GUDY in Illinois. Catharine was also born in
Prussia but did not meet Reinhart until she arrived in the States. They had six
children, all born in Putnam County, Illinois; Anna 1858, Henry 1860, John 1862,
Mary 1864, Adam 1865, and Frank 1870. Any information you have on Sinsel's in
America would be greatly appreciated!

If anyone requests info on the Cassell family of Putnam County, I have quite a
bit. I've been researching the family for about 2 years. I also have some
reference material on the history of the village of Florid, Toluca (Marshall
co.) and quite a few old obits. Here's one that I thought might interest you.
County Coordinators note: This gentleman is considered by many, the first
permanent settler in what is now Putnam County. His family still resides in
Magnolia and his GGGsons wife, Marge is the priemer Genealogical researcher in
the county (IMHO) daVe TAKEN FROM THE HENRY REPUBLIC NEWSPAPER March 6, 1884
Captain Haws This venerable pioneer of Illinois passed away yesterday suddenly.
He was seated at the dinner table, at his residence in Magnolia, Putnam Co., and
had partaken of a harty dinner, when suddenly his head dropped, there was a
shudder, and before the family, who were alarmed and jumped to his assistance,
could get him to the bed he was dead.
Captain William Haws was born in Orange county, Va, Sept 23, 1800. He lived with
his parents in Ohio until the age of 21; August 27, 1821, removed to Sangamon
County, Ill., removing thence to his present residence in Putnam county, thence
to Tazewell in 1826. He built the first log cabin between Ottawa and Washington.
There were no white people then in that part of the country except a few Indian
traders. Putnam county was organized at his house in 1831. He was one of the
first grand jurors at the first term of court, which was held at the old trading
house near Hennepin. Gov Ford was then prosecuting attorney of the district. He
was Captain in the Black Hawk war of a company of state militia, as also took
charge of a caravan going to Oregan in 1847. He has led a long and active life,
having dug lead in Galena, gold in California and silver in Mexico. He owns
nearly 2000 acres of land in Putnam and Marshall counties, a half section in
Minnesota, most of it under cultivation. A kind wife and a number of sons and
daughters survive the husband and father.

Looking for info on Leslie Bowers EADES who supposedly was born in 1881 in
Magnolia, Putnam Co., IL. He came with his family to Polk Co., MO. where he
married Ella VILES in 1898. They had 2 children, and he then "ran off with a
Society Lady" back to IL. He was supposedly a barber. He is said to have died
June 14, 1949. Hopefully in Magnolia. The family doesn't seem to know exactly
where he came back to about 1903 or so, but they assume it was to the area where
he was born. Any 2nd family in this area? Or, anyone who can help me locate
something about Leslie between 1903 and his 1949 death, in IL. Thanks. Judy

Need parents names of: SAMUEL KREIDER and KATHERINE REED, Samuel came with his
parents to Fulton Co. in 1835 from Washington Co., PA. In census of Fulton Co.
there is a George Kreider, and family in 1840. Samuel lived there until 1847. In
1849 he lived in Putnam Co., I assume he married in Fulton or Knox Co.,23
Jan.1844, to Katherine Reed, born in Park Co.,IND. She came to Knox Co. with her
parents in 1836, but I think they relocated to Fulton Co. and lived out their
lives there. I have an article from a history book in Washington Co., PA., That
mentions a John Kreider that relocated from there to Fulton Co., ILL. in the
1830's, and died at the age of 84 as a result of being thrown from a horse. So
is John the dad or grand dad of Samuel? Samuel named a son John, and another,
George. They had the following children: Wilson E. born ?, James A. born ?,
Sabina Jane born 3 Dec 1844 Fulton Co., IL.(she married: Wm. W. Hiltabrand),
died 29 Jan 1873 La Salle Co.,IL., John born 1847, George W. born April 1849,
died 1931, William H. born 13 June 1856 Putnam Co., IL. died 27 Nov 1858 Putnam
Co. Samuel Kreider died 21 June 1899, & Katherine died 25 May 1879. I would
appreciate any added info on these two families, while in Fulton Co., and or
other siblings to Samuel & Katherine. Thanks So Much!
