Family story says Davidsons took her near Nettleton, Missouri. Gertie was born 4-1880 in Lincoln, Nebraska and given away 3-4 times. 1900 census shows all 3 living in Dallas County and Gertie a widow with 2 children both dead. Surname of Smith.

September 1834) who seemed to "disappear" from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada after 1851 census re-appears in 1870 census of Caldwell County, Missouri. He and his family are found in 1880 and 1900 census of Hamilton, Caldwell county and then they disappear from Missouri census. It appears that his wife (Margaret E. Rymal b. about 1840) died between 1880 and 1900 census and I image that he may have died shortly after the 1900 census (he was 65 years old). Any information would be greatly appreciated. 10-26-1996 Gerald W. Hollan Gerald W. Hollan Looking for a Robert Breshares and wife Emelina Holland from Tennessee.
