Biography or Information of Interest: William lived all over the Midwest, moving often during his lifetime until he settled down in Custer County, Oklahoma by 1910. Born in Indiana, he lived in Iowa, married in Missouri (where his wife was born), and lived in Kansas and Oklahoma. In each of these states, he can be found in different communities over time. While I don't know much about William or the reasons for his migrations, I do know that his sister Mariah, my husband's ancestor, also ended up in Oklahoma, as did their brother Samuel. It seems this family was typical of many American families in that they migrated to new locations together.
Unlike the two previous Civil War soldiers I've featured, William lived a long life and appears to have been disability-free. He received a pension from the federal government for his service, which his wife continued to get after his death until her own.
Died: 20 April 1905 in Weatherford, Custer Co., Oklahoma

Blogger just devoured my rather long comment - but I wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your Civil War series and to thank you for the info on Vanity Cakes.
ReplyDeleteI had seen a recipe for "vanities" which is very like the Ingalls one, but was not sure if it was the same, as it was from Mrs. Beeton.
Anyway, thank you for looking it up! I will do a vanity cake post some time later this week -
Hi, Laura,
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't gotten that recipe to you, yet. Will go e-mail it to you now.
William Jasper was my GrGrandfather. His eldest son Andrew Isaiah my grandfather. I'm in touch with another of his decendants following David Jaspers line.
