3-3-7000 *1
Wilhelm "William" Bohnstedt / (see 3-3-1000 ↑ )
M, bn: 1849, Brush Creek, Ohio *2 / p: Carpenter / d: 1924 Feb 9, Rockford Illinois / bd: Haven Hill Cemetery, Olney, Illinois // m: 1873, Dec 23, Richland County, Illinois to Mary Margaret "Maggie" Kent / bn: 1847, Dec 21, Richland County, Illinois / d: 1928, Mar 29 / bd: Haven Hill Cemetery, Olney, Illinois
Children:
1. John Henry (Bohnstedt) *3 / M, bn: 1875, Probably Olney,, Richland County, Illinois / (see 3-3-7100 ↓ )
2. Edward Harrison (Bohnstedt) / M, bn: 1878, May 4, Probably Olney, Illinois *4 / p: Plumber / d: 1950, Mar 14, Los Angeles, California / bd: Rose Hills Memorial Park, Whittier California // m1: 1907, Jun 26, Winnebago, Illinois, to Myrtle Marie Harris / bn: c.1881, Michigan / dv: divorced (or died) after 1912 // m2: before 1923, to Ida Maud -?- / bn: 1886, Apr 24, Mississippi *5 / d: 1974, Jul, Mississippi / bd: pleasant Grove Cemetery, Pleasant Grove, Mississippi
3. Walter Scott (Bohnstedt) / M, bn: 1884, Mar 16, Probably Olney, Richland County, Illinois / p: Painter / d: 1964, Apr 25, Illinois / bd: place of burial uncertain // m: 1913, Sep 24, Rockford, Illinois, to Katherine Anna Witterstetter / bn: 1882,. Dec 19, Illinois / d: 1979, Mar
4. William "Willie" (Bohnstedt) / M, bn: 1888, Sep 26, Probably Olney, Illinois / d: 1895, Illinois / bd: Haven Hill Cemetery, Olney Illinois
5. Charles Christopher (Bohnstedt) / M, bn: 1889, Probably Olney, Illinois / (see 3-3-7500 ↓ )*1. 3-3-7000 and any constituent family tables derived from it were moved to this page because of the apparent small number of actual tables. Although William and Maggie had at least the 5 sons that we know of, it appears that only two, John Henry Bohnstedt and Charles Christopher Bohnstedt, had any children. In this case we found only one child fathered by each man. In both cases the child was a daughter, who most likely did not carry the Bohnstedt name forward.
*2. One birth record allegedly gives Wilhelm "William" Bohnstedt's place of birth Iowa. However, every census record since his birth which mentions William lists his place of birth as Ohio, not Iowa.
*3. John Henry was probably named for his uncle, Johann Heinrich "Henry" Christoph Bohnstedt who died in the Civil War
*4. There are two different records for Edward's year of birth. A social security death index states that his year of birth was 1877. However, draft registration cards, for both WWI and WWII, signed by Edward himself, states his year of birth as 1878. I'm inclined to believe the draft record, since Edward must have known his own year and date of birth.
*5. Different records indicate different places of birth for Ida; one in California, another in Mississippi. However, this is almost certainly the same Ida, despite the discrepancy.
6. There are four children buried in Haven Hill Cemetery near Olney Illinois for whom family links could not be found. They are all buried in Section A, where William and Maggie Bohnstedt, and two of their sons, John Henry and "Willie" are buried. I personally believe these four children; Frankie, Ollie, Minnie and Milla, were children of William and Maggie.sr: C5, D1, E2, F7, G2, G6, G7, G8, G93, G96, G97, G107, G108, N6, S1, S8, U1, U26, U58, V, Z19, Z30
