I have a question?
You posted1910 United States Federal Cenus
Name Ross DeBow
At the bottom of this first section:
Ross DeBow 35
Sophia DeBow birthplace:Missouri
Both parents Missouri
Pennethan DeBow 1 (1 6/12) birthplace Illinois
Who is Pennethan?
Sophia's mother or are they referring to Sophia's daughter?
What is your best quess?
I getting a lot of information to share, is anyone interested in what I have to share?
Wizard28 thank you for your help
Jerry
I think :
Pennethan De Bow 1 [1 6/12] Birthplace: Illinois & Bernetta De Bour 12 are the same person but for some reason the christen names have changes. That she is the daughter of Ross T De Bow & Sophia De Bow.
According to the 1910 census Ross T De Bow and Sophia ????? hand been married for 3 years
c 1907 but I could not find the marriage to get her maiden name.
I am not related in any way to this family, good luck with your research.
Wizard28
Thank You for your reply.
Sophia, my grandmother, maiden name is Williams from Dixon Missouri.
Burnetta is my birth mother.
You have given one heck of a head start:
Ross, my grandfather
Asher, my great grandfather.
And now, I have Asher's grandfather.
After I absorbed all of this, I will be looking for a surveyor general, for the king. a great, great, great grandfather?
Thank you...
Jerry
