My fathers name was Gerald T. Close 1917-1970. My name is Jerry, I am female. He was my father. His fathers name was Albert Close. My grandmother died shortly after giving birth to my father. My grandfather remarried and I don't believe he had any more children. I have one sister. We have lived in St. Joseph, MO. all our lives. I dont' know about my grandfather. My father was sent to live with friends, so there is very little information about this line of Close's. My father had a step sister. Her name was Margret, but I do not know if her last name was Close or not. Hope this sparks something in someone as I have no relatives and would like to.

Hi Janet,
I have been trying to figure out who this William and Caroyln are in relation to my 4th great grandparents. They also had a daughter Carolyn Matilda Jones, but she supposedly married a White and moved to Crawford Co., PA. After reading your posting I thought it was quite interesting about the Lincolns.
This Nathaniel Jones mother was Prudence Lincoln married to Enos Lincoln--possibly a cousin to Abe. Prudence was born in VT, Nathaniel was bn in CT then moved to PA then to IL.
Found on the 1850, IL--LaSalle Co--Northville Twp. Census.
Nathaniel Jones, 70, M, Farmer, 1000, PA
Lovina Jones--Age 68, F, bn Vermont
Edward F. Jones--Age 24, M, Laborer on Farm, bn PA
William Close, 20, M, Laborer on Farm, bn PA
Caroline Close, 20, F, bn PA
Thanks,
Terry

Is this the William and Carolyn you search.
Nathaniel Jones and Lovina Tryon also had a son named Henry C. Jones (Henry Clinton Jones) and he lived and farmed in Sandwich and then moved to Evanston Twp., Cook Co., IL where he retired and died in 1912.
Any connections here:
Nathaniel Jones, 70, M, Farmer, 1000, PA
Lovina Jones--Age 68, F, bn Vermont
Edward F. Jones--Age 24, M, Laborer on Farm, bn PA

Looking for info on husband of above. She was born 27 Jan 1898 in KY to James E Close and Mattie Smith of KY. She died in the Psycho Ward of a hospital in Louisville, KY 26 Jan 1930 and was buried under her maiden name in Community Cem in Magnolia, Hart Co, KY, beside her parents and a sibling and his wife (I presume).
My G Grandmother was named Arminda Bernard Spurgeon. I do not know where she got her middle name. Her mother was Marinda Close and her father Zephaniah Spurgeon or possibly Spurgin (born 1806 Bourbon County, Kentucky). Historically it has been customary in my family to give the middle name of another family member such as the spouse surname of an aunt or uncle. To date I have not found another family member so named. Arminda Bernard Spurgeon was born February 8, 1857 in Austin, Scott County, Indiana. She lived in that area most of her life moving to Indianapolis, Indiana in her later years. Some of her family members lived in Clark County, Indiana. Does anyone know of a connection between the Spurgeon, Close, or Bernard families. What is the origin of the Bernard name? Does anyone know if any Bernard family lived in that area prior to 1857? Any assistance will be appreciated. Don Coatney
