Melvin Squire - Aberdeen South Dakota
SEEKING- any descendant of Melvin Squire, son of Perrin and Mary (Goss) Squire. He was born in Lime Creek Township, near Wellman, Washington County, Iowain 1859. He was living in Aberdeen, South Dakota in 1938, according to his brother's obituary. Melvin's mother, Mary (Goss) Squire, was a sister of my great, great grandmother, Louisa (Goss) Tipton Jones Stonecipher (1843 - 1916). I would like to learn whether there are any living descendants of Perrin and Mary (Goss) Squire. I also would like to learn whether anyone knows whether Horace and Jane Wilson who raised Mary and Louisa are related to them, and if so, how.
