I am looking for information regarding John Laughlin Hughes, married to Rebecca Rogers, who lived in probably both Seneca and Broken Bow between 1910 and 1920. He was a telegrapher for the railroad. His daughter Florence Hughes married Raymond McCord and they lived briefly in Broken Bow for the birth of their son, Hugh (born 11/13/16). I am specifically looking for property records in either Broken Bow or Seneca between 1910 and 1920 under John Hughes. I have a picture of Rebecca standing in front of a sod house - I believe this picture was taken in Seneca. I would appreciate any suggestions about how to access any property records that could help me identify the location where this sod house once stood.

Can you help me find a marriage record for my ancestor. I am trying to locate the marriage record for Thomas R Birth (b 4 Jan 1865) & Hattie M Oliver (b 20 Jul 1864) who were married between the years of 1914-1916. They were both living near Lilac, NE at this time but there is no record of their marriage in McPherson Co. I believe she may have had relatives in Thomas County and this is where they were probably married. I have written the Thomas County Clerk but there has been no response. Either they do not have records going back this far or don't do this kind of lookup.

I would be very appreciative of any information I can get with the following names: Bessie Beatrice Grant, born September 7, 1918 in Halsey, Thomas Co, NE (my "half" great-aunt). Parents of Bessie: Charles Ellsworth Grant (my step-great-grandfather) and Nellie Melba Dawson (my great-grandmother). *Note: Nellie’s birth surname was Dawson, but she was married to a Charles Jamison and possibly a man named Stanley before marrying Charles Ellsworth Grant.
Story -- My grandpa, Charles David Jamison, was raised as "Charles Grant". He ran away from home at age 12 or 13 and I have almost no information on his family. I did know that he had a half-sister, Bessie Grant, that I managed to track down in the SSDI. From the copy of her social security card application, I learned that her mother’s maiden name was Nellie Melba Dawson. I had been told that it was Nellie Melba Stanley. My grandpa was born in Dalhart, TX on October 22, 1915, during Nellie Melba’s marriage to Charles Jamison. My grandpa had an older sister, Alice Jamison (she died at age 12 or 13). Nellie Melba "Jamison" divorced Charles Jamison around 1916/1917 and married Charles Ellsworth Grant shortly thereafter. I am not sure how or why they were living in Nebraska in the fall of 1918. Also, I understood that my grandpa ran away from somewhere in Texas, so they must have moved again. I grew up without my dad or his family around and it means a great deal to me to track down any information on this branch of my family. Any help would be great.

Nellie May Paul was married twice; once to a Grahm, first name unknown, and once to George Alvin Greenwood in 1907. I have reason to believe that Greenwood was her name at the time of her death in 1919. Family information is that she was buried in the Thedford Cemetery. She was born 11 Jun 1885 To George W. and Nellie M. Paul. Her family always referred to her as May so I am not sure whether she would be listed as Nellie or as May/Mae. I am looking for definite information regarding her death such as gravestone information and/or obituary.

Berton A. Darrow (born May 1871, Illinois) moved to Thedford and/or Seneca, Thomas Co, Nebraska prior to 1900 and appears in the census for that year with his wife Mary L. Darrow and daughter Lola C. Darrow (7). Berton lists his occupation as a RR station agent. Berton and Mary appear again in the 1920 census without Lola. In this census his occupation is newspaper printer and states he owns his home free. It would appear that Berton Darrow and his family settled in Thedford as a perminent residence. I have received information that Benton was in real estate and also a member of the Masonic Lodge in Seneca and Thedford. I am requesting any information about this family, death, burial, and especially information on daughter Lola.

My Great Great Grandmother Harriet Swebson Allison Gormely is buried I believe in a cemetery in Thomas County. Suposedly in the Thedford Cemetery. She died January 29, 1937 and was born March 2, 1855. I contacted the Vital Records in Nebraska and was told they searched all of Nebraska and did not see he death certificate. However my parents say they saw her gravesight in Thedford many years ago. Since I plan on going to Nebraska this summer I would like to know for sure that she is in the Thedford cemetery so I might see her sight for myself. As small as Thedford appears on the map could there be more than one cemetery? Is there anyone who could assure me first hand that her grave is there?
