Hi,
I have been trading emails with a new member who sent me the following note.
<<At this time I don't know if there is a connection of my Closson line to
yours. I have hit a dead end in 1870 in Minnesota. On the 1870 census I find
my great-grandfather Charles C. Closson living with the following people in
Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minnesota, USA.
Closson C. age 69 Farmer value real estate 5000 value personal estate 800
born Canada his father & mother of foreign birth
the following are all Closson with mother & father not of foreign birth.
Tryphenea (at least to me it looks like this) age 52 born New york
Elihu B. age 22 born Wisconsin
Charles age 20 born Wisconsin (this is my great-grandfather, Charles C.)
Susan age 23?? born Wisconsin
Dwight age 18 born Wisconsin
George age 16 born Wisconsin
Ella age 14 born Minnesota
Flora age 12 born Minnesota
I believe the 5 other children are his siblings as the family story is that
Charles had 5 brothers, had a falling out and never had anything to do with
his family after that. I feel that by the time the story got to me the 5
siblings became 5 brothers. As far as the C. Closson age 69 and what looks
to me like Tryphena age 52, they seem rather old to be the parents, also the
children do not have father of foreign birth. These two seem too young to be
the grandparents.
What I am hoping to find some help with is who Charles C. Closson's parents
were and how does the C. Closson born Canada and Tryphenea born New York fit
in.>>
This Charles seems to be the son of Caleb6, John5, Caleb4, Ichabod3,
Caleb2, Josiah1. Can some of the Caleb branch of the Josiah CLOSSON family
help us out?
Regards,
Bob
