Henry Smith and Oscar Leslie Clyde Families from MinnesotaUpdated April 25, 2005 | I am researching the Clyde family from PA in the 1840's; James and Catherine Clyde, sons Henry Smith, Oscar Leslie and Charles Albert.They left PA and lived in Iowa approx. 1855 until after the Civil War-1865.The sons then moved to Carver Co. then Morrison Co., Minnesota and lived approx. 1866 until 1899 in MN. Henry is my great grandfather.He was married to Emma Mapes, they had Katie (McLean), George Henry, and Addie(Lambert)and Anna Irene. Henrys second wife was Susan Thompson, they had John Henry, Martinea and Henry Clay. Emma and Susan both died from child birth. My great grandmother was his third wife, Phoebe Rasnich/Rosnick from Virginia. She was married to Shade Compton prior to marriage to Henry. They had Oscar Oliver, Grace Mae (Lefler), Myrtle Mae (Reid), Herbert James, Earl Lester, Ernest and my grandfather, Edgar Neil Clyde.Henry's last wife was Charlotte Ekenston (Forsman) and no children with this marriage. Henry and Oscar Clyde left Minnesota and moved their families to Washington, Oregon and California.The third brother, Charles Albert is the one I have very little information on.He moved around alot and was in North Dakota for a period of time (in the Hillsboro area for a while). I have a photo of the three brothers. I would like to learn more about Charles. I have also had a hard time finding information on my great grandmother, Phoebe (also know as Nellie) before her marriage to my greatgrandfather (in 1885).Information leads to her coming from Virginia or Tennesse. She had a daugther, Emma Compton who lived with her and Henry.There is very little about Phoebe after 1902 when she and Henry were divorced in Seattle, WA. She may have been married later to a Thomas Cusick in WA. and also lived in Idaho for a period of years. Information on her does reappear in approx. 1921 in a nursing home in Los Angeles, CA area. Henry's brother Oscar was married to Abbie Abiah Stevens, they had five children.Family names from his children are; Ledoux, Green, Hubbard, Bechtel, Clark and Buss. I would like to exchange information with others.Any information would be greatly appreciated. |
