I am looking for descendants of Ralph S. Childs. His father was Asahel S. Child born 1843 in Moretown, Washington Co, Vermont.
By the 1860 Census, his father Dennis Childs has the family living in Omro, WI. Asahel married Harriet Amelia Hamilton. Harriet more then likely was living in Omro also from about 1862 with her father James Hamilton. Harriet was born in Cambridge, Maine 1844 & died between 1920-1930 in California. Asahel & Harriet were married about 1867 as their first child Myrtle was born in Wisconsin February 1868. Myrtle never married and died in Los Angles County, California September 14, 1954.
By the 1900 census Asahel and family including Ralph were living in Illinois in New Trier, Cook County and it appears Ralph remained in Trier, Cook County Illinois with his dentistry practice.
Ralph married Mary Tipton. Their children were Harriet A. Childs and Ralph S. Childs. Harriet born June 24, 1906 appears via a Tipton tree to have married a NELSON. Harriet dies June 26, 2001 in West Lafayette, Indiana and the only match for these dates AND in West Lafayette was a Harriet A. Nelson.
My family tree connection with this family is through Harriet Amelia Hamilton."

Asahel married Harriet Amelia Hamilton on 21 Dec 1865. (Harriet Amelia Hamilton was born on 23 Jun 1844 in Cambridge, Somerset County, Maine.)
