We are searching for the following family connections from Vermontville/Lansing Michigan, Trenton/St. Rose, IL, Chicago & Mattoon, IL, Perryville, MO, St. Louis, MO.: BARTH, Peter & Maria Josepha VON CAMOFF emigrated from Rettigheim, Baden, Germany in the 1840s to the area of St. Rose, Clinton County, Illinois. Peter, born in 1813, and Maria, born 1817, are buried in the St. Rose Catholic Cemetery. He is supposed to have supplied the land to build the church and school in St. Rose. Any descendents of their children (Josepha, Susan, Maria, John, Peter, Elizabeth, Henry, etc.) should contact us. Henry is our great-great grandfather. Henry BARTH & his wife, Barbara GEBHART of Perryville, MO, had many children. Those that survived left St. Rose for various cities. Their oldest daughter Elizabeth is our maternal grandmother. She moved to Colorado in 1899 after contracting tuberculosis. She married Chester Gunn and had six children. After he died, she returned with her children to Illinois and eventually opened a lace curtain laundry in St. Louis, MO. The Descendents of Henry and Barbara are the children of Elizabeth, Theresia (Daisy), and Peter. Their other four children were childless. Seth GUNN lived in Vermontville or Lansing Michigan. His second marriage was to Clotilda. He had numerous children, most of whom stayed in Michigan. Two of his sons moved to Colorado after Clotilda remarried a Mr. Bottomly. Chester Gunn, our maternal grandfather, was born in 1869 or 1874, moved to Colorado when he was about 16, married Elizabeth Barth c. 1900, and died in 1916. Ida TEED, our paternal Grandmother, emigrated from Canada in the 1880s to Chicago. Her Father, Henry Teed, is said to have been British sea captain who retired to Canada. Her many brothers and sisters all apparently moved to Chicago. Ida TEED married William Patrick HENNESSY in 1891 in Chicago. William Patrick HENNESSY emigrated from Ireland to Mattoon, IL, in the early 1870s with his stepfather (Mr. Grey, a tailor), mother, and brothers and sisters. His siblings stayed in Mattoon. William moved to Chicago to work for the railroads.
