I am looking for help with the KAISER family of Bollinger Co, Madison Co, Scott Co, Cooper Co and Cape Girardeau.**********

Unfortunately, the information in this query will likely scroll across the page and become difficult to easily read.********

HENRY GARFIELD KAISER's [1881 MO – 1930 Polk, Madison, MO] death certificate states his parents were Henry KAISER and Rachel JOHNSON.**********

Henry Kaiser md Rachel Johnson approx 1865 [Bollinger Co.?]
It is reported that Rachel was the d/o: James Richard Johnson 1820 – 1877 & Margaret Grounds 1823 – 1891 (who were md 1840 Cape Girardeau)]**********


Henry and Rachel Kaiser are found in:
1870: Union, Bollinger, Missouri
Henry Kizer (Kaiser) 31 (1839) Hannover
Rachael Kizer 27 MO (nee Johnson)
Marion Kizer 4
Caroline Kizer 2 (Melvina Caroline)***********



1880: Union, Bollinger, Missouri
Henry Kisor 43 (1839ish) Hannover
Rachel Kisor 37 (nee Johnson)
Marion Kisor 14
Melvina C. Kisor 12 [did she marry 'her uncle': Marion Blain Johnson?]
Francis J. Kisor 8
George W. Kisor 6
Margret V. P. Kisor 4
Mary Ellen Kisor 1
*****************


Henry (1839) Kaiser’s death is reported as 3 Jan 1882 Cooper Co, MO. His tombstone is next to Rachel’s in the Johnson Cemetery. This means he died when his son, Henry Garfield Kaiser was an infant.*************


Based on the below census records, in 1903, Henry G. Kaiser (1881/82) md Fannie Unknown (b. abt 1879 – d. bef 1930?). Per the census records, they were married in 1903, but I have been unable to locate the marriage place or the maiden name of Fannie. Their only known child, Henry Edwin (1905 AR). **************

This family is first found in 1910 Scott Co, MO:

1910: Kelso, Scott, Missouri
Henry G Kaeser 27 (1882) MO GER MO; carpenter/railroad shop
Fannie Kaeser 30 IL IL IL; md 7 yrs.
Edwin Kaeser 5 (1905) AR MO IL

***************
1920: Kelso, Scott, Missouri
Henry G Kaiser 38 (1881) MO GER MO; carpenter/railroad
Fanny J Kaiser 39 IL IL IL
Henry E Kaiser 15 AR MO IL
*****************

1930: Union Bollinger County, MO
– Henry (1881)is a boarder in the George Dittmer household and is listed as widowed [note that his July 1930 (Madison Co) death certificate states he is married?]
**************
Where my confusion really begins is….
There are a few online family trees (which seem to have been copied from each other) indicating Henry Kaiser [1839 Hannover - 1882 Cooper, MO] and Rachel Johnson were married in 1865 Bollinger Co, MO, and are the parents of Henry Garfield Kaiser (1882).
*************These same family trees connect to William Kaiser (1809) Sophia (1803), residents of Cape Girardeau, but I've looked at census & misc recs and do not find the connection. Since Henry (1882) was born after the 1880 census and did not marry until after the 1900 census, it is difficult to be certain.
***********Of interest is that immediately before his 1930 death, he appears back in Bollinger Co. His death takes place a few months later in Madison County.
***************
These are the Cape Girardeau records:

1860 Apple Creek, Cape Girardeau, Missouri near Friedheim)
Wm Reiser/Keiser 56 (1804) GER; farmer
Sophie Keiser 57 GER
William Keiser 24 (1836) GER
Hy Keiser 21 (1839) GER – md Louise Dickman
Fred Keiser 18 (1842) GER
Wilhelmine Keiser 13 (1847)GER
***************

William Keiser 64 Hannover
Sophia Keiser 67
William Hoffman 13
*** Note: neighbors are - Frederick (27, b. Hannover) & Hannah Kaiser (22) w/ children Edward, Ferdinand, Malinda and Mary Elbrecht
**************
Do not confuse one of their other sons [William with wife, Sophia] to his parents: William &b Sophia:
