DIFFENDERFER
I am looking for Matilda "Tillie" Moore Gray and her husband, Charles
F. Diffenderfer, formerly of Albion, NE (Boone County), who had a son,
Clifford Lester, b. in Taylor, 1890. They were in Albion in 1883, when my
grandfather, William Charles Diffenderfer, was born. Besides little Clifford and
Will, they had two other children, Maud, b. 1875, PA and Herbert, b. 1880, NE.
Tillie and Charles were from Pennsylvania. In the 1885 census, Charles listed
himself as a farmer. However, in 1880 in Albion, he listed himself as a cabinet
maker/furniture store/undertaker. The elder Diffenderfer sometimes went by the
first name of Clifford. Perhaps if someone has a tax roll for Loup County, we
could find the land they bought. Many thanks in advance.

Dann was probably of the group at this time also.

COOK, ALL, HYDE
I am researching my GGF, David Hall who moved to Loup Co. in 1885 from
Olean, NY. The David Hall reunion was held in Taylor from 1918 until
????. Two great-aunts (Mrs. Fred Cook and Mrs. Valentine Hyde)
also moved from NY to Loup County. Henry Hyde, son of Valentine, died in
Sargent in 1951. Would like to know if any descendants are still living in the
area? David Hall had a bible that traced his ancestors back through his
grandfather who fought with Washington in the Rev. War; Joel Hall,
brother of David, brought the family bible to NE sometime before 1910. I have
reason to believe that it's still in Loup County and desire to locate it for the
family history information it contains.
