Their homestead was between Pawnee City and Table Rock. They have descendants about, including Mary Alice Thieman and Louis McClintock, cousins who are grandchildren of William & Sarah's daughter Mary and son Winfield, respectively.

sarah's children from her previous marriage

Shelly McClintock reports on her search for Sarah's children, William's step children. Shelly says she has learned that Sarah had three children with Garret Griffey before he died. The oldest Joseph stayed in Illinios with his grandparents. The second, Ellen, died young and Shelly has been unable to find much on her. unable to find much on her. The third, Jared came to Pawnee and lived here until he was 16.

At 16, Jared joined the Army and and fought in the civil war. When his unit was disbanded he then went to Fort Kearny where he was in a unit that provided escort to wagon trains, etc., protecting them from the indians. He died at age 17. The military ecords say he died of disease but Lester McClintock always told the family that a family member had been killed by Indians. Shelly says that she learned that back then if you didn't die right away from your wounds but died days later of infection or blood loss, etc., it was considered a disease, so the family story could be correct.

Shelly cannot find Jared's grave. A search of Findagrave.com reveals nothing. She says she believes he may have been buried at Fort Kearny, but she found out that all the graves but one were moved to a National Cemetery near Maxwell. During the time they moved the graves the did not mark them.

winfield and his family

Winfield married Fannie Scheidegger (1871-1946) and they had five children Louis, Lester, Dora, Harvey, and William, born in 1891, 1893, 1896, 1899, and 1902. It looks that little Wiliam - Bill -- born in 1902, is around two or three years old, so that gives you an idea of the date the photo was taken. The last child died in 1973, Lester, at age 80.
