I know so little about him.I amtrying to determine information on Isabelle Susan Ricedorff whose other was a Brumbaugh.This is the information I have:
Her petition for a delayed birth registration was filed April 27, 1950.She was the petitioner and gave her birthday as August 24th although I had it was Aug. 23rd because of the obituary.Attendant at birth is Mrs. Jordan and written next to that is Dr. Finney.She shows both her parents born near Newport PA but she had their years of birth wrong also.One affidavit was from a Neil Jordan, age 78, Sioux Cty, NE, stating she was born on War Bonet (sp) Creek and Mrs. Sarah Jordan attended the birth but was deceased by 1950.He was her husband.There were two additional affidavits by Zimmermans.First was what looks like Cleo, 63 years, a cousin of Isabelle and it was notarized in Sioux Cty, NE.The other was a Eli D. Zimmerman of Banner, Sheridan Cty, Wyoming, 68, a cousin who swore to the information in Sheridan Cty, WY on April 19, 1950.One wonders why she did not ask her brother to send an affidavit??? (Her adoptive mother, Elizabeth Brumbaugh, had a brother named Levi A., who was in Harrison Cty in 1890-1891)He was "single" in 1900 and living with his parents in Dawes Cty.I wonder if perhaps, Isabelle and Burr, weren't his natural children by an Indian maiden, perhaps?
(Info from Thelma at [email protected]:
Neil Jordan lived about 12 miles north of Harrison, not on Warbonnet but close. Sarah was a local midwife I think, Neil was Sarah's husband and I think locally she was known as Nellie. The Zimmermans live about two miles from me, these names I don't know but will ask Keith. These you have here was probably related to the others and the Zimmermans are early settlers of Sioux Cty, NE.
He could easily have been named David Eli and went by Eli.Are your Zimmermans in NW Nebraska?Audrey
