Individual Details
Walter R. Ivory
(1818 - 23 Dec 1845)
I am one of a group working on an official history of the Wisconsin 23rd Regiment. One of our men was John Jabez Ivory. His parents were Walter R. Ivory & Sarah Ann Searls. He had a sister, Viola Ann. We need birth death burial info for his parents & a birth date for John & Viola. His parents apparently d. when he was less than a year old & he went to live with his Searls grandparents in Wisconsin.
