William Ort and Issabella Updegraff
My great grandmother's maiden name was Mary Ann Ort. She married a John Patterson who had a furniture store in Potwin, Kansas. She is the daughter of William Ort and Isabella(sp) Updegraff who were married on Feb 5,1854. She had a sister Emma Elizabeth Ort Wiles who adopted my grandmother at 5 years of age after her sister Mary's death. It is rumored they were Pennsylvania families even perhaps Amish. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone. I know according to 1880 census William Ort and Issabella Ort were 52 adn 46 respectively and residing inMacow, Harvey, Kansas. He was a farmer and they were both born in PA as well as there parents.Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
