11# DUNLAP, MILLER, CHILDS, PUTNAM
Date: 11/17/2000
From: Dot Morris at billing@itsamac.com
I am interested in communicating with anyone related to the following
families of Dixon County, Nebraska.
John DUNLAP, came to county in 1870 with wife Mary Ann MILLER & family.
James MILLER, came to county after 1870 with wife Almedia HOOVER &
family.
Oscar M. CHILDS, came to county after 1867 with wife Sarah
THAYER-PEABODY and children Dora CHILDS, Cora CHILDS & James CHILDS,
also Sarah's son Sylvester PEABODY.
Charles A. PUTNAM, all I have on him is that he married Cora CHILDS
6/10/1896 in Dixon County.
Dora CHILDS married James DUNLAP (John & Mary Ann's son) and raised a
bunch of roudies, including my Grandfather Norris DUNLAP.
Thanks for listening.......Dot DUNLAP-MORRIS

10# Flippin
Date: 10/20/00
From: Sue Peterson at larrysue@digisys.net (Larry Peterson)
I'm now seeking any information on Rebecka (unknown) who was born June
15, 1866 (place unknown) and died May 20, 1887 and is buried at Silver
Ridge or Daily Cemetery in Dixon County. She was married to J. C.
Flippin. I believe this would be James Claiborn Flippin who was born
September 15, 1857 in Mount Airy, Surry County, North Carolina and came
west to northeast Nebraska with other Flippin, Adams and Taylor folks.
I would also like to find more information on their migration westward.
Rebecka must have only been 21 years old when she died their. James
eventually went back to marry a lady names Betty Clark who was from
North Carolina. I believe he may have died in the state of Kentucky.
I'm wondering if someone with access to the library newspaper microfilms
could check to see if their are any 1887 records regarding Rebecka's
life--possibly an obituary. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sue Peterson
