I'm looking for:
William Connell, I notice on some papers it is spelled Crandel, Cannell, was
born my guess he was born around, 1841-1842, Holstein Danemark, Germany
He married in Eau Claire:
Henrietta Augusta Schilliing October 6th 1860
that was the date of the certificate
The date of the contract was September 20th 1860
It states his father and mother to be William Cannell Anna Cannell
They had one son my grandfather William Robert Connell my grand father.
From The State Historical society:
He enlisted August 14,18 62
Private, 19 years old, butcher
C, 8th Regiment, Wisconsin Infantry
Discharged August 2, 1865
Died April 12, 1868 I believe this took place in Fall Creek, Wisconsin at
St. Johns, or it may have been St. James, Lutheran Church.
I hope this information helps you help me.
I remember a cousin saying that the Schillings were from Lipton or Liptow
Germany.
Sincerely,
Shirley Aaron
