I am not sure I think that was her name, American for William does that mean that he turned American, sorry to be such a idiot, I am not used to american relatives. Who are the others, his children or grandchildren and the other, Melvin?

Thank you

Ryan

American means he became an american citizen

henry is his son born illinois
lena his daughter in law
the children are his grandchildren
melvin is lenas brother

is the 1861 correct for them

Hi yes that is most likely the son, but the years of birth don't match. They did have a son Abraham as well. So that could be him.
