The sources below are cited inline throughout; the list is the count, and no total is printed here because a hand-written one drifted twice. Raw retrieved pages and record images are held in the private research directory, not on this site. Not every entry is a document, and each one that is not is labelled so that no reader mistakes it for one: S24 is what the family said, S46 is a DNA result, S57 is a relative's Ancestry tree, S58 is a published family genealogy quoting a will nobody here has read, S59 is an 1878 subscription biographical directory, and S66 is a published family genealogy whose Page County search found nothing and whose second search, on new names, found two generations at Probable. Those carry most of the depth below the second-great-grandparents, which is exactly why the tags matter. S25–S35 were added on 13 September 2026 with the Timberman and Caffey findings, S36–S45 later the same day with the Walker, Peters and Selland findings and the two paternal upgrades, S46 that night with the DNA, S47–S56 on 14 September with the Silva and Rose findings, S57–S63 the same day with the full-depth pedigree and the two portraits, S64–S66 on 15 September with the Azores lodge registers and the Kauffman-Coffman book, and S67 the same evening with Frank Silva Sr's 1946 obituary, the notice that confirmed Faial. S68–S73 followed on 16 September — Julius Proeger's Pennsylvania death certificate and his Kirchberg baptism, Medie Owens's Texas death certificate, the Peters–Selland marriage record, the Coffman family typescript and the memorial livestream — with S74–S77 the four Røldal parish entries and S78 the Pasadena press on Robert W. Coffman's career. S79–S88 were added on 17 September 2026: they are documents that were already published in the Documents section and were being cited on the cards above as though they were tree entries — the 1919 Ohio death certificate and the 1917 draft card, Mary Jane Wright's 1934 Texas certificate, the Page County birth register, the two Coffman gravestones, Dr. Wright's 1878 will and his printed county-history biography, the Martin headstone, the 1930 Jackson County census and the 1946 Roberts marriage record. S89 followed the same day — the 1962 Abilene Reporter-News interview in which James Burton Coffman names his niece at Abilene Christian, the only non-family source on this page for two facts that had been resting on the family obituary alone. S90–S102 were added on 17 September 2026 in the reconciliation pass: the Ohio birth index and CA Death Index that identified Anna Blanche Roberts's parents (S90–S91), the 1900 census of the Henry Roberts household in Wheeling, WV (S92), the PA death certificate and 1860 census that confirmed the Timberman grandparents (S93–S94), the TN marriage record and 1850 censuses that confirmed the Martin/Chenault line (S95–S98), the NJ Birth Index for Louise Timberman (S99), and the three DNA results — 23andMe paternal and maternal haplogroups and the GEDmatch "Are Your Parents Related?" test (S100–S102). The existing numbering has never been disturbed, so every citation printed above still points where it always did.

Ancestry’s index to the application (records 1503064750 and 1353064750; index only) lists May Stark and Luis W.

  15. S1555Rappahannock County, Virginia, chancery cause 1839-006 (original no. 74), William Thornhill etc. v. Joseph Thornhill and Bryant Thornhill — bill, answer, decree of 9 September 1839 and commissioners’ report of 18 September 1839. Library of Virginia, Chancery Records Index, 14 images. Bill, decree and report read from the images on 8 October 2026. Probable The bill says that Thomas Thornhill Sr. of Rappahannock County died intestate on 28 June 1839, owning the 319 acres he lived on, about 200 acres where his son Thomas lived, and about 175 acres in Madison County, “leaving the following children who are his heirs at law”: William, Thomas, Robert, Bluford, Charles and Edmund Thornhill, Elizabeth wife of Joseph Butler, Lucinda wife of Henry Stone, Joseph Thornhill and Bryant Thornhill. The court ordered the land divided into ten equal parts; lot 1 of the home tract was assigned to William. The suit proves that this Thomas had a son William. It gives no age, wife or residence for that William, and nothing read yet shows he is the William Thornhill who lived in Page County in 1850 and 1860; the match is by name, generation and neighbourhood. Thomas’s wife is not named.Cited on Overview · Coffman, Wright & Brooks line · Emily M. Thornhill · William Thornhill · Mary Thornhill · Documents · Timeline.
  16. S1556Death of Mary Roberts, Wheeling, April 1880 — two registers: (a) Ohio County, West Virginia, Register of Deaths, 1880, page 122, line 390; (b) the Wheeling city death register, April 1880, pages 128–129, first line. West Virginia Archives & History, Vital Research Records: (a) film 857521, image 349; (b) film 857522, image 71. Both images read at full size on 8 October 2026. Probable (a) Roberts, Mary, white, female, died April 14, of measles, aged 1 year 2 months; names of parents “Hy & Rose”. The place, birthplace and informant columns are blank on her line. (b) Mary Roberts, female, 14 months, white, nativity “U. S.”, died “Apl 11” at Alley 14, 4th Ward; cause measles, then pneumonia; names of parents “Henry + Rose”, nativity of parents “U. S.”; interment “City”. The two registers disagree on the day, the 14th or the 11th. The archive’s index gives the mother in (b) as “Ann”; on the image the word reads “Rose”, in faint ink, and both readings are stated here. Neither register gives the mother’s maiden name, a middle initial for the father, or his trade, so the parents are matched to Henry S. Roberts and Rose A. Williams by their two first names, the year and the place only.Cited on Proeger & Kochendoerfer line · Anna Blanche Roberts · Henry S. Roberts · Rose Alice Williams · Timeline.
  17. S1557Rappahannock County, Virginia, chancery cause 1855-007, William Thornhill and Richard Thornhill v. Jane Ficklin, widow, and the heirs of George Ficklin — bill and amendment of 8 March 1855, depositions of 20 July 1854, answer of Thomas Hill Jr., decree, deed of trust of 7 March 1845 and deed of September 1850. Library of Virginia, Chancery Records Index, 42 images. Bill, depositions, the first page of the decree and both deeds read from the images on 8 October 2026. Probable About 1839 William Thornhill bought some 125 acres in Rappahannock County of George Ficklin, who died in 1852 without having made a deed. The bill says William wished the title conveyed “to his son the said Richard Thornhill”, who had bought the land of him. On 7 March 1845 “William Thornhill of the County of Rappahannock” gave James Kemper a deed of trust for his debts on “three slaves, Abraham, Thomas and Aaron”, his stock, wagon, clock, guns, furniture and growing crop; he signed his name. The trustee sold the property on 5 December 1845. Joseph Reid deposed that at that sale Ficklin asked him not to bid for the last of the three, “but let Miss Rachael the daughter of Wm Thornhill buy him”. William alone signed the 1850 deed to Richard, and acknowledged it before a Rappahannock justice late that September (the day reads 23 or 28). The suit proves that this William had a son Richard and a daughter Rachael, unmarried in 1845. It names no wife and gives no age for William or Rachael, and it does not say where William lived after 1845. That he is the William Thornhill of Page County rests on Rachael Thornhill, 47, in his household in 1860, and on the fit of the dates; the census puts him in Page County on 6 September 1850, about three weeks before this deed was acknowledged in the next county. The archive’s worksheet calls the second plaintiff Nicholas; the bill, the depositions and the deed read Richard.Cited on Overview · Coffman, Wright & Brooks line · Emily M. Thornhill · William Thornhill · Mary Thornhill · Documents · Timeline.

  20. S15601850 United States census, Rappahannock County, Virginia, page 114 (verso), dwelling 422 — household of Richard Thornhill.

Read on 8 October 2026 from the USGenWeb Census Project transcription (Nancy Knizer, 2003), not from the page image. Probable Richard Thornhill, 38, farmer, real estate $1,400, born Virginia; Ann, 35; Mary, 10; Champ, 19, labourer; John Wharton, 85; William Wharton, 41; Cely Wharton, 34; and Rachel Thornhill, 33. The transcription’s name index for the county has no William Thornhill older than nine. A transcription, so every name and age here is second-hand until the page is read. The 1850 census states no relationships. Rachel’s age, 33, does not agree with the Rachael Thornhill aged 47 in Page County in 1860 (S830); one of the two ages is wrong, or they are two women. The index covers the county as transcribed and cannot show that no William was missed.Cited on Overview · Coffman, Wright & Brooks line · Emily M. Thornhill · William Thornhill · Timeline.

Sinclair, minister; returned the same day and registered 5 February 1891. The groom is Frank, the brother of Arthur Harris McConnell (Frank, 13, in the 1880 household, S1545); the return gives only the initial F. It gives the mother’s maiden surname and no given name.

Trin.” (the fifth Sunday after Trinity, 28 June 1807), third couple: “Tore Monsen Sælland med Pigen Ingeborg Ormsd.”, followed by a farm name. The bride’s farm is abbreviated and runs to the edge of the page. The first reading and the archive’s index give Præstegaarden; on the second reading the word begins “Præst” and the rest is not clear. Præstegaarden is the only Røldal farm that begins so, and the 1801 census puts an Ingebor Ormsdatter there (S1286).

The page is headed “1861, 62 & 63” and the entry stands above the heading “1862”, so the death falls in 1861 and the burial in the following summer, as with her husband in 1856. The register gives her age and no birth year; the “born 1785” of the archive’s index is worked out from the age. The entry names neither her husband nor a child, and the informant is not named: that she is the wife of Tore Monsen Selland rests on her name, the farm, her standing and her age.

The page is headed “1856 & 57”, and the year 1856 is written above the day of death at this entry. A death in March and a burial in August is the winter hold usual at Røldal, as with his wife (S1623). The register gives his age and no birth year; the “born 1779” of the archive’s index is worked out from the age, and its “p. 123” is not on the page, which carries the number 68. The entry names neither a wife nor a child, the column for the cause of death is blank, and the informant is not named: that he is the Tore Monsen Sælland who married in 1807 (S1622) rests on his name, the farm and his age.

  13. S16931880 U.S. census — Gloucester City, 1st Precinct, Camden County, New Jersey, page 12, dwelling 116, lines 31–36 (9 June 1880). Supervisor’s District 3, Enumeration District 24, with 61 written beside it. Ancestry collection 6742, record 35815846. Image examined, read 25 September, 9 October and 11 October 2026. Probable Frazier, Jos., 51, ship carpenter; Georgeanna, 48, wife, keeping house; Emma, 29, daughter; Benjamin, 19, son; Harrison, James, 84, father in law, at home; Rachel, 69, mother in law, at home; all born in New Jersey. The reading is certain; what is Probable is that this couple are James and Rachel Harris. For it, and strong: the same Frazer household held James Harris, 73, and Rachel in 1870 (S622), the ages agree with 1850 and 1860 (S1167, S653), and Joseph K. and Georgianna Frazier were in the next house to them in 1850.

  14. S16941801 census of Norway — Suldal parish (1134P), pages 437b–438a: the household at Bakkene. Riksarkivet, Digitalarkivet, image ft20090806680262. Image examined, read 11 October 2026. Probable In the margin “Bakkene – Familie”: Mons Torsen, husband, 58, both in their first marriage, huusmand med jord (cotter with land); Torbiør Biørns Datter, his wife, 50 or 52; their children Tor Monsen, 19, unmarried, and Biørn Monsen, 5. The holding entered just before reads “…elland – Familie”. The reading of the household is certain; what is Probable is that this Tor Monsen is Tore Monsen Selland, the farmer at Bakkene in 1820 (S76). The census age gives a birth about 1781–82 and his burial entry about 1778–79 (S1624); the Røldal register has no entries for 1781 to 1789, so no baptism can settle it. The archive’s index of this census has no other Tor Monsen in Suldal parish, Røldal included; the other pages were not read. The first letter of the neighbouring farm is lost in the binding and the archive’s index reads it Helland; it is Selland, because its farmer, Osmund Vraaesen, is buried in 1803 as “Osmund Vraalsen Selland” and the couple at Bakkene are “Sellands” in the register in 1791 and 1796 (S1695). The second figure of Torbiør’s age is unclear; the index has 52. The foot of the page is dark: a daughter Torbiør, 8, is in the index and was not read. The page does not say that Bakkene lay under another farm.Cited on Selland & Lone line · Tore Toreson Selland · Tore Monsen Selland · Ingebjørg Ormsdatter · Documents · Timeline.
  15. S1695Røldal parish register (ministerialbok 1780–1816), four entries: baptisms of 1791 and 1796, burials of 1803 and 1816. Statsarkivet i Bergen, Digitalarkivet source 11628, images kb20070515610265, kb20070515610275, kb20070515610292 and kb20070515610311. Images examined, read 11 October 2026. Probable Page 9, 1791, third Sunday after Trinity, baptism no. 13: “Mons og Torbiør Sellands b. Torbiør”, sponsors Tore Botten, Ole Heggerland, Gunle Odland, Marte Lone and Marte Botten. Page 20, 2 July 1796, baptism no. 9: “Mons og Torber Sellands b. Biørn”, sponsors Sven Selland, Tore Botten, Anders Hegerland, Marte Botten and Guro Selland. Page 37, burials of 1803: “Osmund Vraalsen Selland”, married man, 30. Page 55, earth cast on 20 July 1816: “Torbjør Bakken, 67 Aar”. The readings are certain. What is Probable is that this Mons and Torbiør are the Mons Torsen and Torbiør Biørnsdatter of Bakkene in the 1801 census (S1694), whose younger children are a Torbiør and a Biørn of these ages, and that the woman buried in 1816 is that Torbiør: the baptisms give the father no patronymic and the burial gives neither patronymic nor husband. Osmund Vraalsen is the farmer the census enters just before Bakkene, which is how that farm is known to be Selland. The book passes from 1780 to 1790 on one page and has no entries for 1781 to 1789, so the baptism of Tore Monsen Selland, born about 1778–82, cannot be read in it. No image of these pages is published here.Cited on Selland & Lone line · Tore Toreson Selland · Tore Monsen Selland · Ingebjørg Ormsdatter · Documents · Timeline.

Image examined, read 11 October 2026. Probable “Tore og Ingeborg Bakkenes D. Torbiør”, sponsors Thore Botnen, Ole Selland, a woman of Selland whose first name is read as Siri or Gyri, and Maritte Botnen; churched the same day, “Ingeborg Selland”. The reading is certain apart from that one first name; the archive’s index reads the farm word as “Baksenes”. What is Probable is that the parents are Tore Monsen Selland and Ingebjørg Ormsdatter: the entry gives no patronymics, but they married at Røldal the year before (S1622) and are the couple at Bakkene in 1820 (S76). The child has the name of the wife in the Bakkene household of 1801 (S1694), and Thore Botnen was also first sponsor for the children of Mons and Torbiør of Selland in 1791 and 1796 (S1695). The entry does not name Tore’s father. The next Røldal book, read from the images, names the couple at Bakkene with both patronymics in 1817 and 1819 (S1698, S1699); that does not put patronymics into this entry of 1808.Cited on Tore Monsen Selland · Ingebjørg Ormsdatter · Documents · Timeline.
  17. S1697Photograph of the Pröger / Hintermeier house at Erkenbrechtshausen, about the 1930s (undated). A photographic print of a half-timbered house with a group of people at the door, held by the Hintermeier family of Erkenbrechtshausen, descendants of Katharina Barbara Pröger (1869–1936), whom the family writes Katharine; a phone photograph of the print was received by email on 11 October 2026 and is used with the family’s permission. Family testimony, not a record: the family calls it the family home and says it was pulled down in 1997. The Triensbach family register shows Katharina Barbara’s parents moved from Erkenbrechtshausen to Triensbach in 1880 S1700, so it is not yet known whether this was the Pröger house before that move or the house she married into; the family has been asked. The photograph is undated: the family puts it before about 1950 (the barn is not yet built) and the clothing suggests the 1930s. The people in it are not identified; the family thinks the man at the gate may be Ernst Hintermeier (1905–1993). Nothing in this entry has been checked against a register.Cited on Overview · Johann Leonhard David Prüger · Documents.

Image examined, read 11 October 2026. Confirmed Born 30 June 1817, baptised 17 August 1817, Ingebor; parents “Thore Monss. og Ingebor Ormsd. Bakkene”; sponsors Ingebrigt Lone, Biørn Bakkene, Ingebor Hagerland, Siri Præstgaard and Ingri Lilleteig. Both parents are named with patronymic and farm, as at the baptism of their son Thore in 1820 (S76). The surname of the third sponsor is read with some doubt. The entry does not say who the sponsor Biørn Bakkene is; a Biørn, 5, is the youngest child of the Bakkene household of 1801 (S1694). Nothing further is known of the child: no confirmation, marriage or burial has been looked for.Cited on Tore Monsen Selland · Ingebjørg Ormsdatter · Documents · Timeline.

Bruce, long-time resident [of] this city, aged 56 years and 17 days, died at his home Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock and was buried in Hillside Cemetery Monday afternoon”, the Rev. M. H. Keen of the Methodist Church conducting. The index gives Charles Brooks Bruce, who died on 29 August 1920 at Cuero and was born on 12 August 1864. The two agree to the day: 56 years and 17 days from 12 August 1864 is 29 August 1920, a Sunday. The newspaper text has lost the first initial; neither record names his wife, who is named in his will (S1363). No Cuero paper of 1920 is indexed. The Find a Grave index places his grave in Hillside Cemetery, Cuero; no photograph of a stone has been seen, and the index fails to settle the day of burial or who lies beside him.

Marriage certificate: Walter R. Johnson, 44, divorced, and Ethnye Schultz, 41, of Abilene, Texas, divorced, married at Sturgis, Meade County, South Dakota, 11 September 1943. Death certificate: Ethnye Wilson Johnson, born 27 July 1901 in Clay County, Alabama, died 9 December 1969 at Burnet, Burnet County, Texas; informant W. R. Johnson; burial at Kingsland Cemetery, Kingsland, Llano County, 11 December 1969. Obituary: Mrs. Ethnye Johnson, 68, of Kingsland; survivors include her husband, W. R. Johnson, who had been with the Haskell National Bank, and a son, William Phil Schultz of Richardson; burial in the Kingsland Cemetery. Her dates and burial are read from the certificate image. That Mrs. Ethnye Johnson was Philip Schultz’s former wife is Confirmed: the 1943 certificate calls her Ethnye Schultz of Abilene, divorced, the death certificate gives her maiden name Wilson, and the obituary names her son. The chip grades the 1921 marriage itself, which is Probable on strong evidence: the entry is an index line whose printed citation names other counties, and the page has not been read; the indexes spell her name Ethnye, Ethney and Ethmye. Walter R. Johnson is on the Ancestry tree; no dates of birth or death are carried for him, because the man they probably belong to is tied to him by name and age only. The 1950 census of Haskell, Haskell County, Texas (Ancestry record 186829469; enumeration district 104-3, sheet 72, line 18), read from the image on 7 October 2026, has Walter R. Johnson, married, born about 1900 in Texas, cashier, National Bank, at 806 N 11th St. No wife is enumerated in the household, so the page fails to tie it to Ethnye; that this is her husband is Probable on strong evidence (name, town and bank agree with her obituary).

Probable Under the heading 1805, the thirteenth of fourteen girls confirmed: “Torbiør Mons Dat: Selland”, followed by “Britte Knuds Dat: ibid.” The reading is certain. What is Probable is that she is the Torbiør baptised to Mons and Torbiør “Sellands” in 1791 (S1695) and the daughter in the Bakkene household of the 1801 census (S1694): name, patronymic, farm and age agree.

  5. S1765Family book — “Dad Called Me Bo” (2009), compiled by LaRoy Peters and his wife Adelaine and given to members of the family. Reported to this record through the “Add to this record” form on 12 October 2026 by LaVonne Danielson, a niece of the compiler, who sent a photograph of the cover and the facts below in her own words, and on 13 October 2026 photographs of four pages. Those four pages have been read by us from her photographs; the rest of the book has not been seen. Confirmed As relayed: Edna Blanche Orsborn Peters, born 7 May 1884 in Indiana; her husband Benjamin Peters, born 12 December 1882 in Black Hawk County, Iowa; married 1 April 1903 at Franklin, Iowa. Julia (Gyri) Lone, born 22 April 1870; she and Mons Selland came to America in 1889 and were married on 18 May 1899 at Madison, South Dakota. A family compilation made a century after the events. By Earl Proeger’s decision of 13 October 2026, what LaVonne Danielson contributes to this record is taken as verified, and the book’s statements that no other record carries are entered as Confirmed on the family’s account. Where the book and a record differ, neither is overwritten: both are shown on the cards. It agrees with the records on Edna’s birth (S784), on the 1903 marriage (S791) and on the 1889 arrival (S989). It differs on two dates: Benjamin Peters’s own 1942 draft card says 1881, not 1882 (S786); and the Røldal baptism taken to be Julia’s says 22 January 1870, where the book says 22 April and the 1900 census says April (S1128). The 1899 marriage date and place are on no record read so far. The four pages read on 13 October 2026 print the same statements and add: Benjamin L. Peters born 12 October 1905 in Scott Township, Franklin County, Iowa; Selma Gertrude Selland born 1 October 1903 on a farm near Clear Lake, South Dakota (agrees with S813); their marriage on 16 November 1925 in the Lutheran church at Brandt, South Dakota (agrees with S774), a move to Chicago and then to Marathon, Iowa; Mons T. Selland born at Røldal in May 1868 (agrees with S74); both Sellands arriving by the port of New York; their farm in the Hidewood Valley south-west of Clear Lake; and the name Selland explained as “Sjoland”. Chicago is also where the 1938 baptism register puts the births of the two eldest children (S236); the port, the farm’s place and the name are on no other record read so far. The book gives two birthplaces for the elder Benjamin Peters, Black Hawk County on one page and Scott Township on another.Cited on Peters & Hermann line · Selland & Lone line · Benjamin LaRoy "Pete" Peters Sr. · Gertie Selma Selland · Mons Selland · Julia (Lone) Selland · Documents · Timeline.
  6. S1766Pittsburgh city directory, 1884, p. 723 — the two Proeger entries. Ancestry, “U.S., City Directories, 1822–1995”, record 146934853. Image examined, read 24 September 2026 and again 13 October 2026. Confirmed Two consecutive entries, the only Proegers on the page: “Proeger Julius, pattern maker, Virginia av, n Bertha” and “Proeger Julius H, clk, Virginia, 32d wd”. The year 1884 is the index’s title for the volume; the page itself carries no year. The index gives the father’s address as “S Bertha 88”, which is not on the page: it reads Virginia Avenue near Bertha, with no house number. A directory states no relationships. That the two are father and son rests on the street and ward, which are those of the household in the 1880 census (S183), and on the son’s age, about 16. This is the earliest record of the son at work.Cited on Proeger & Kochendoerfer line · Julius Karl Proeger · Julius Herman Proeger · Documents.
  7. S1767Veterans Administration pension payment card — Brock, Matilda P., Army widow of Solomon A. Brock, certificate 585190.

Image examined, 2279 × 2987 px, downloaded 24 September 2026 and read again 13 October 2026. Confirmed Name “Brock, Matilda P.”, stamped Dead; class Army widow, General Law; name of soldier “Solomon A.”, service “Sgt. Co. C, 7 Ky Vol Inf”, stamped Dead; rate 12; date of commencement “17 Jany 1904”; date of certificate “7 Jany 1905”; transferred from Knoxville, Tenn.; Died: “June 14, 1912”; Bureau notified: a file number and a letter to the Commissioner dated 8/24/12; former roll no. 395. The card gives her death day and no place of death, no birth date and no child. It does not say what the commencement date of 17 January 1904 marks, and it is earlier than the 23 May 1904 filing on the pension index card [S152]; the pension file, which has not been ordered, would say. His headstone at Clyde gives his death as 16 January 1904, the day before [S1769]. The film frame carries a second card below this one, for Merritt Brock, an Army invalid of another regiment, who is not of this family.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · Solomon Alfred Brock · Matilda Pauline Howard · Documents · Timeline.
  8. S1768Headstone of Matilda P. Brock, wife of Solomon A. Brock, Clyde Cemetery, Clyde, Callahan County, Texas. Find a Grave memorial 69959562, “Matilda P Brock (1848–1912)”, whose one photograph is the picture also held from the gallery of a relative’s Ancestry tree. Image examined, 239 × 640 px, read 13 October 2026 at three times its size. Probable The stone reads “Matilda” and one initial, “wife of Solomon A. Brock”, “Born Jan’y 9, 1848”, “Died June 14, 1912”. The death line agrees with the pension payment card [S1767]. The birth line is the day the family tree carries, 9 January 1848; the memorial page transcribes it the same way, and the month is cut as a short word unlike the “June” of the death line below it. The year disagrees with four census pages made in her lifetime, which put her birth in 1847 [S153]. The initial after the first name can be read as P. or R. at this size; the memorial is titled Matilda P, as the federal pension cards have her [S152]. The first name has seven letters, Matilda. The photograph is small and a stone is cut after the death from what the family tells the mason, so the stone is graded Probable for her birth day; the death day rests on the payment card. Her husband’s stone stands in the same cemetery [S1769].Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · Matilda Pauline Howard · Documents · Timeline.
  9. S1769Headstone of S. A. Brock, Clyde Cemetery, Clyde, Callahan County, Texas. Find a Grave memorial 69959630, “Solomon Alfred Brock (1838–1904)”, with one photograph of the stone. Image examined, 287 × 640 px, page and photograph saved 13 October 2026 and read at three times its size. Probable The stone reads “S. A. Brock”, “Born Apr 8 1838”, “Died Jan 16 1904”, with two lines of verse below that cannot be read at this size. The memorial page transcribes the same two dates. The stone carries initials only; it is taken as Solomon Alfred Brock because it stands in the cemetery of the town where his widow headed her household in 1910 [S154], beside the stone of Matilda, “wife of Solomon A. Brock” [S1768]. Its death day is the day before the 17 Jany 1904 commencement of her widow’s pension [S1767] and four months before she filed [S152]. Its birth year, 1838, is the year his ages in 1850, 1860 and 1870 require [S169] [S167] [S153]. It is one small photograph from a memorial page, and a stone is cut after the death, so both days are graded Probable; the pension file, which has not been ordered, would state the death.Cited on Bowles, Williams & Brock line · Solomon Alfred Brock · Documents · Timeline.

Probable A typed listing in Soundex order: certificate 288248, SELLAND, JULIA, county code 20, died 11-27-55. The index gives no age, husband, parent or place below the county code, and the code was not checked against the State’s table; that the line is hers rests on the name and the day.

Read by us on 13 October 2026: the group sheets of this family, of both sets of parents (F20, F585) and of the children’s own families, and the person pages. Confirmed Benjamin Peters, born 12 December “1881/2” at Cedar Falls, Iowa, died about 1957 at Sioux Rapids, son of John Charles Johann Peters and Sophia Herman; Edna Blanche Orsborn, born 7 May 1884 at Lawrenceburg, Indiana, died about 1942 at Marathon, daughter of John W. Orsborn and Arimena (Minnie) Howard; married 1 April 1903 at Alexander, Franklin County, “at the residence of Ray Pence, Meservey, Iowa”, by the Rev. J. C. Shirk; five children, Eva M., Benjamin La Roy, Clifford L., Hazel F. and Russell Ray. A compiled tree, not a record: it cites census pages, church registers and other Ancestry trees, and none of its own sources has been read here. By Earl Proeger’s decision of 13 October 2026, what LaVonne Danielson contributes to this record is taken as verified, and what the chart alone carries is entered as Confirmed on the family’s account. Where the chart and a record read here disagree, both are shown and the record stands: John W. Orsborn’s birth (chart 1852, Kentucky; his own 1921 statement 1 June 1848, Cleves, Ohio, S1075), Frank Peters’s death (chart 21 September 1931; certificate 2 September, S1009) and the child of 12 March 1884 (chart a daughter, Clara; birth return a son, S998). It prints both 1881 and 1882 for Benjamin Peters’s birth and so settles nothing between them.

Where we looked and found nothing

Records were reached through the family’s own Ancestry, FamilySearch and Archion subscriptions and through public archives; no paywall or CAPTCHA was bypassed. One false lead is worth remembering: the apparent “Proeger” in the 1950 Texas census is a Kroeger, an unrelated family with no nine-year-old boy in it. What is still being looked for is on the front page under What is still unknown.

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
