Thank you for offering to do look ups in
Ottawa County, KS.
My ggparents moved to Delphos, KS in 1871. They were John Matthew and Eleanor
Baker TAPPEN. They had four children: George
Tunis TAPPEN, Jane Ann
TAPPEN COFFIN, Susan
Baker TAPPEN THACHER (my gmother), and John Henry
TAPPEN. I am specifically looking for the children of John Henry
TAPPEN. Robert Matthew
TAPPEN was born in Delphos in 1911 and passed away in September of 1981. Social Security Death Index lists the last check as sent to
Nebraska. There is rumor that there was a second child, Ila Mae. Perhaps Robert was living with her in NE when he died? I am hoping that the records you have will confirm Ila Mae's existance and perhaps give me an idea where each of these two went. Of course any information you find about any
TAPPEN,
THACHER, or
COFFIN will be greatly appreciated.
