I am a native of Kansas but have lived in Iowa most of my life. My genealogy interest is derived from not seeing my close relatives very often and only hearing stories of people I didn't know. I have tried to put the family names in order and would like to thank all of my relatives who have helped along the way. The surnames I'm researching are:
Paternal: Norton, Ralph, Wilson, Raymond, Fry, Tuggle, Michael, Miller, Ashcraft, Billiter, Roberts, Rancy, Wortman.
My NORTON's came to Reno Co., Kansas from Grant Co., KY. ASHCRAFT, BILLITER, ROBERTS, RANCY, and WORTMAN are names from the Grant Co., KY area. WILSON, RAYMOND, FRY, and TUGGLE are from Hancock and Schuyler Co., ILL area. MICHAEL and MILLER are from Winchester, Virginia and Rio, West Virginia area. RALPH is from County Wicklow, Ireland thru Ontario, Canada to Kansas.
Maternal: Milbourn, McKelvy, Garber, Cupp, Erwin(Irwin), McClintic, Smith, Cox, Reed, Reeder
My MILBOURN's came to Marion/Chase Co. area of Kansas from Eaton Co., Mich. GARBER, CUPP, and McCLINTIC are names from the Eaton Co., Mich. area. SMITH and COX are from Ohio thru McLean Co., Illinois. REED and REEDER are from Virginia. McKELVY and ERWIN are from County Antrim, Ireland thru Wyandot Co., Ohio and Kansas.
I will share anything I have.
