In the 1880 US census I have found Warren Young (listed as 30 years old but was
really 50) with his wife, Julia (28), children: Charles (9), Addie (7) and
Jennie (3) living in Flandrea. Can anyone suggest a
history of Flandreau, Moody Co., Dakota Territory to
help me find out what attracted them there? Also, I am trying to trace them
backwards into Iowa, probably to
Charles City, Floyd Co. but have run out of leads going backward. The family
eventually ended up in Motley, Morrison Co., MN. Charles Youngs
married Rose Johnson from WI and Jennie's married name was Cleveland.
Warren had 3 children from an
earlier marriage named: Homer, Clark and Edith Youngs.
Thank you!

Two sets of my great-great grandparents and their families lived in Moody
County in the last decade of the
19th century. They were Russel John and Nancy Ann
"Annie" (CRANDALL) MAXSON, and George Washington and Loretta Olive
(BROWN) (BABCOCK) HUFFMAN. There are a number of things that I would like to
know about these families. BIRTHS -- The last child of Russel
and "Annie" MAXSON for whom I have a birthdate
and place is Ethel Grace, who was born in Nortonville,
KS, in 1890. Were the other two, George and
Myrtle, born in Moody County?
Would it be possible to get their birth records, if so? -- The three eldest
children of Darwin and Eunice (HUFFMAN) MAXSON (Ruth Loretta, Grace Estelle and
Geneva Gertrude) were born in Moody County
between 1896 and 1901. I am also interested in obtaining *their* birth records.
SCHOOL(S) -- Several of Russel and Annie's children
were of school age when they lived in Moody
County. The most likely
"scholars" were Edith (born 1877), Ruth (born 1879), Nathan (born
1882), Ora (born 1883), Susan (born 1885), Ethel (born 1890), George (born
between 1885 and 1890? after 1890?) and Myrtle (ditto as George). What school
records still exist? MARRIAGES -- Darwin Ellsworth MAXSON (Russel
and Annie's eldest child) married Eunice Almira, daughter of George Washington
and Loretta Olive (BROWN)(BABCOCK) HUFFMAN in Egan,
SD, on 14 September 1895. Would it be possible to obtain their
marriage record? -- Did any other MAXSON marriages, such as Maude's to Styles
LANPHEAR or Edwin's to Grace Jesse (sic) EAGLESFIELD, occur in Moody
County? If so, would records be
obtainable? DEATHS -- Ruth Orcelia MAXSON died 17
November 1895 George Washington HUFFMAN died Smyth, Moody County 30 January
1898 Fitch Brown HUFFMAN died Clare Township, Moody County 4 May 1898 I am
interested in newspaper obituaries and/or death certificates for all three.

included daughters Olive, Cora, May, Leonna Maude,

age of one and the other son, Melvin Perry Davis was my grandfather. Melvin
married Grace Olive Druey 1902 in Flandreau. John Druey's family included daughters Mary, Winnifred,

Some of the families these two families married into were, Biever,
