Historian seeking information on the WATTLES family which settled in Linn County ca. 1856. The heads of the households were Augustus WATTLES and John O. WATTLES, prominent abolitionists and Fourierists who came to Kansas in 1854 from Utopia, Ohio--a community just upriver from Cincinnati that had been lost in the flooding after 1849. In Kansas, they were associated with John Brown and the foundations of the Republican party. Along with Susan WATTLES, they launched the first woman suffrage society in the territory. Stephen H. WATTLES, brevet brigadier general in the Civil War was the son of either Augustus or John. Any information would be of interest. Thank you.

I am researching a William Simpson (b. 1847) from Ireland and his family: wife Sarah Neighbors Simpson (b. abt. 1850 in VA). The Linn County Census on the web indicates that they were in Linn County, enum. district 127. Can anyone tell me what towns that district would cover? They also had 5 children: John L (age 13), born in Missouri, George (age 12), born in Missouri, Jane (age 10), born in Missouri, William (age 5), born in KS, and Minnie (age 2) born in KS. They went back to KS, where George and his wife, Martha Spratt Simpson, had my grandfather, Walter Darrell Simpson in 1898 in Ft. Scott. The son, George, later came to Illinois, after William died in 1905, and his mother is supposed to have died in 1907. the rest of his line is in Champaign, IL.
