Lula's oldest brother, Peter Lewis FILER, is my husband's great-grandfather.Her younger sister, Flora Filer Jones, compiled a loose-leaf book of family history and genealogy.Does your family have a copy?These records show Elizabeth Jane FOLEY was American born of Irish (?) parentage on Nov. 17, 1818.She married Michael Peter BACUS Sr.Their first child, Martha Ann, said she was born near the Missouri River.Martha Ann was born Jan 8, 1841 near St. Louis, MO.They had also lived in Kentucky. In about 1844, they moved to Illinois.Elizabeth Jane Foley died at Kaufman, TX Sept 20, 1896.She was married to Mr. ANNIS and is buried under that name.
Do you have information on Jacob Conrad Filer, Sr.?One census indicates he was born in Baden, Germany but we do not know where or when he came to the U.S.Have no info on his parents or siblings.
Do you have information on the Baccus/Bacus family?I have received their genealogy from other researchers and will be happy to share.
