In 1938, he lived in Nebraska City. He was my great grandfather on my grandmothers (Ellen HENDRICKS, b=1890) side. He was previously from Richardson county, Barada Precinct. His other two children were Harry Hendricks (b=1895 and of Falls City and Lincoln) and Floyd Hendricks. Ellen married Paul SMITH (my line)in 1908 in FC, NE. Harry married Besse ANDERSON and had two daughters, Margaret P. and Marjorie B.. Pearl (? maiden) was Harry's 2nd and final wife. Floyd married Anna Lu Ella EDWARDS. James HENDRICKS' mother may have been Matilda BROWN. Margaret or Marjorie may still be living to provide help. Anyone else?

BURNETT, COX, FLETCHER, KIRKENDALL, LEWIS, SIMPSON posted by Donna (Francis) Thurman on Thursday, September 24, 1998: FRANCIS Esther (Humphrey) FRANCIS and her 7 children passed through Nebraska City in a covered wagon, in 1860, enroute to Oregon. They were to meet Esther's husband, James H., in Denver, CO. Esther died in Nebraska City and is buried there, as his her youngest son, James. James was about 5-7 years old, and died of accidental scalding. The other children were left to fend for themselves, or were farmed out to other families until their father could be reached, and come for them, a process that took over 6 months. Some of the children stayed behind while the older ones went with their father.... children of James H. and Esther FRANCIS 1. Mary Francis (1843-1892) 2. Stuart Francis (1844-????) 3. William Henry Francis (1845-1914) 4. Rachel Francis (1848-????) 5. Peter Francis (1851-1912) 6. Alexander Francis (1854-1936) 7. James Francis (abt 1855-abt 1860-61) We know for sure that Alexander stayed behind, and eventually settled in Ohio, where he married and raised his family. The other surnames I have are connected to these children by marriage. I would appreciate hearing from someone in Otoe Co., or Nebraska City, who might be connected, or willing to do lookups. Thank you!
