Hello, I am looking for info on a Millie Ann Raper or Rapert. This is all I know and it is Thanks to William Brackett's website. I am hoping he has more info. or maybe someone else does.

Millie Ann is the daughter of Daniel Rapert who was born around 1774 in PA. Her mother was either Ameliah Worley or a "Polly" who was apparently Daniel's second wife.

Millie married an August Louis Napolean Lanier on 10/14/1849 in Monroe County, IL.

She and August had at least one known child:
Mary Magdeline Lanier Born in 1851 or 1852 in IL. (still need to visit her grave for more accurate info.)

We were told that Millie died while Mary was quite young and she and a sibling went and stayed with nuns for a short spell.

August married an Eleanor Folks on 4/22/1852 in Monroe County, IL. So Millie had to have died either giving birth to Mary or while Mary was an infant.

What I would like to know is Millie's D.O.B. and D.O.D and if she was ever married before August. If so did she have children with them. Also did she and August have other children besides Mary. Any other information about her would also be greatly appreciated. Also any info. that anyone would have about her Husband August.

I have hit a brick wall tracing back my family tree and the Brick wall starts with Millie and August. Thank-you in advance for any help/info you can give.
