Hi, Wanda.So glad to hear from you.I am really excited now, so anxious to see if I can find some proof of relationship to James, and then possibly further back.Well, it's small world indeed.I live in S.C. now (married a S.C. boy who was in the Navy in Calif.That's how we met.I'm a Calif. native.)I will state briefly here what I have on Uriah:1) a photo of my G.G.Grandmother's tombstone that states, "Celia Wife of Uriah Groshong.Born Jan. 24, 1834.Died Dec. 18, 1880."We were at my g. uncle's house on vacation when I was a child & he took us to this grave.His wife & my g. grandmother were sisters. My dad took the picture of the tombstone and a picture of Uncle Charley Black sitting beside it.2) Official copies of two land grants in Wisconsin.One is for 80 acres, Grant Co., Wis. Territory, dated 1st of May, 1845.The second one is for 40 acres in LaFayette Co., Wis. dated 10th of August, 1850.Both properties registered in land office at Mineral Point.3) Uriah R. Groshong is found in the 1860 Census, Sonoma Co., CA & the 1870 Census, Mendocino, CA.I need to see the actual census, but haven't been able to do that yet, to see what family names are listed.However, his daughter, Olive Jane (my G. Grandmother) married in Mendocino Co. in 1876, and my grandmother was born there in 1881.I have found evidence in writing to tie this Calif. Uriah to Wisconsin in that Henry Franklin Groshong, who is said by other family & researchers to be Uriah's son, stated on the 1880 Mendocino Co. Great Register, that he was born in 1849 in Wisconsin.
This is the only historically recorded information I have found on Uriah so far.I have not found any info yet that names him as anyone's son, brother, or father for that matter.My g. grandmother's marriage certificate states "the written consent of the mother of Olive being on file . . ." doesn't mention either Celia or Uriah by name.Also, haven't come across the Shanley name or Hodges name yet but certainly have that awareness in place now.Will let you know if I find out more.Joan
