Our ancestor William H. Peters and his first wife Roxana settled at Beaver dam around 1854 and Roxana died there in
1856 and we have found her grave at Beaver Dam. William then married Myra Diana Clifford Feb. 17, 1857 (we assume in Dodge county) and by 1860 the Peters family were in Texas. However; Myra Diana had a sister Lydia L. Clifford born Feb. 1826 in Vermont who was the wife of Rodney Wells and they lived at Beaver Dam in the 1860 Census and at Burnett in the 1870 Census. By 1880 Lydia was back at Beaver dam without Rodney (deceased?) and she was still living at Beaver dam in 1900. I am hoping someone has information as to where Rodney and Lydia are buried..prob. at Beaver Dam. Rodney and Lydia had three daughters
Lydia born Wisconsin 1854; Zaida (or Ida) born 1859/60 and May Ella born Jan. 1867. May Ella married a Hildebrandt and was living single with her mother in 1900 Census and had a son Rodney Hildebrandt born in Ill. aged 8. I thought it interesting that the profession listed for Rodney Wells in the 1870 Census at Burnett was "Showman".
Can anyone find a stone or burial place for Rodney and Lydia Wells or find any proof that William Peters and Myra Diana Clifford were married at Dodge county in Feb. 1857?
Perhaps the Beaver Dam papers would tell us? Any help gratefully appreciated.
