Message Board Post:
I am looking for information on the Cors lineage.
Adolph Cors: B: Jan 1850 in Germany. He married Mary Whipcus (the sister of his brothers
wife) on 25 May 1880, in Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co., Indiana. He died 9 April 1930 in
Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co., Indiana. His parents were Adolph Cors (B: Prussia, Germany? -
D: 1858-1860 Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co., Indiana) and Theresa Stephens (could have been
Theresia Stewie before migration?) (B: abt 1822 Germany - D: 27 Jan 1905 in Lafayette,
Tippecanoe Co., Indiana).
Adolph, Jr. and Mary had 4 children:
Joseph Cors: B: April 1881 in Indiana. I have him in the 1900 and 1910 census' in
Lafayette Ward 6, Tippecanoe, Indiana, but loose him from there. No wife, children, or
death date known.
William Cors: B: 27 Oct 1882 in Indiana. I have him in the 1900 and 1910 census in
Lafayette Ward 6, Tippecanoe, Indiana, and his 1917-1918 military record, which states he
was in Grant Co., New Mexico. His nearest relative listed on his military record is a Adam
Cors. It looks like on the card, in perenthasis, it was stated the relation, but it's
cut off. All I can see is what could either be a cursive F, or an odd T. No Wife,
children, or death date known. (Adam MIGHT have been Adolph Sr. or Jr., but unlikely. Sr.
was dead by this time, and all census' show Jr. living in Indiana.)
Cecilia Cors: B: July 1885 in Indiana. Have her 1900, 1910, and 1930 census. She married
Lewie Crowden on 18 October 1916 in Tippecanoe Co., indiana. No children, marriage, or
death date known.
Mary Cors: B: Mar 1889, probibly in Indiana. Have her on the 1900 and 1910 census with her
family. No other information is known.
Who was Adam Cors? Is it possible that he's a brother of Adolph, Sr.? Could that have
been the middle name of one of Williams brothers? When did the children of Adolph, Jr.
die? Thier spouses? Who were thier children? Am I missing any children of Adolph and Mary?
Any information would be of great help.
