James CONNETT and Sarah HULSE (her maiden name was REED)
were in the 1850 Polk Co IA census. The HULSE children
names are Rith & Orpha. Orpha married Solomon PERKINS
in Dec 1849 in the home of James CONNETT, Polk Co IA. Did
they have children? The children born to James and Sarah
CONNETT were: Oliver, Mary, William & Catherine. Does
anyone know what happened to these people? Did they stay
in IA? Will be happy to exchange any information. Thanks.

lived only a short time after the marriage, so they had
no children. She then married my G-Grandfather George
Clinton RABER on 5 March 1889 in Adel, Dallas Co., IA.
She died 11 Feb 1932 in Kearney, Buffalo Co., NE. They
had a total of 6 children, all born in NE. I am extremely

I'm looking for information on and ancestors of Frederic

c.1939 in Des Moines, Iowa and buried in the Glendale
Cemetery in Des Moines. He married Bertha Maud GERMAN in
Meade or Lincoln, Nebraska. They lived in Lincoln,
Nebraska before moving to Des Moines, Iowa. Only child
was Donald Frederic PARRISH, 1910-1991. Both Frederic
Ernest and his son Donald Frederic were graphic artists.
Donald designed a number of public signs, some of which
I'm told still exist in Des Moines. He also designed the
original 7-Up logo. Besides being an artist, Donald was
an accomplished musician who played with a number of the
big bands in the 1940s. He and former president Ronald
Reagan were friends, both in Des Moines and later in Los
Angeles, California. It's my understanding that PARRISH
was not the original family name. Somewhere along the
line someone became angry with his family and changed his
name to PARRISH. It was originally an unknown Swedish
name.
