For February’s quiz, let’s go back a couple generations. In December, 2010, I asked about Grandpa Roy’s father, Beeley Pendleton. As part of the answer to that quiz I stated that Beeley married Catherine Newkirk in 1855 in Darlington, Wisconsin.
When and where was Catherine born?
A) 1835 in Wisconsin
B) 1836 in Pennsylvania
C) 1837 in Illinois
For extra credit, what were her parents’ names?
-- ANSWER
Catherine was born in Independence, Illinois on March 5, 1837. Her parents were Cyrus Newkirk and Catherine Wildermuth.
I am currently working on the Newkirk branch of the tree and have traced that family back to about 1600 in the Netherlands. I have found a lot of interesting information. Who knows, some of it may show up in a future quiz!
