Surnames: Pulver, McHenry
I am very confused with this family and I hope someone can help me to figure out some of the conflicting data.
From records on the Winneshiek County, Iowa GenWeb site, it appears that Charles S. Pulver married Fannie P. McHenry (aka Frances P. McHenry). Fannie is the daughter of Wilson and Margaret McHenry and was born in 1844 in New York. I am trying to identify Fannie's grandparents and am now stuck on her marriage to Charles and maybe to someone else. The marriage records indicate she married Charles Pulver in 1866. However, these same records seem to indicate she married a man by the name of Charles Mager (Mager may be McGee according to the www.familysearch.org website). The confusing thing about this is that the records show that the marriage to Charles #2 (Mager or McGee) also took place in 1866. The records show that Charles #1 (Pulver) was married to Mary McDowell in 1861...but maybe also in 1866...I am REALLY confused.
To top it all off, I can NOT locate any of these people after the 1860 census!! Frances McHenry is found in the 1860 Census living in Decorah, Winneshiek County, Iowa. Charles Pulver (#1) is found in the 1860 census living in Fremont, Winneshiek County, Iowa with his parents and his 7 brothers and sisters. I have never found a Charles Mager or McGee in any census record! As I mentioned earlier...www.familysearch.org shows the marriage between Frances and Charles McGee on 14 Aug 1866 in Winneshiek County, Iowa...but there is no other information provided.
I am STUCK!! I wonder if Charles Pulver died and Frances then married Charles Mager (or McGee)...but then what happened to them in 1870??? Did they all die??? I found Frances' parents in Decorah, Winneshiek County, Iowa through the 1880 census...but they both died in this area by 1892. I just don't know where to turn now.
I would appreciate any help regarding this family. If anyone has any information on this particular Pulver line, I would greatly appreciate it!! Thank you very much.
