Notes:

The line of Barbara Luecke, a Wakeland family researcher whom was listed as a Wakeland "researcher" in the November/December 1993 issue of Everton's Genealogical Helper. I wrote her and received a couple of letters and group sheets which are the authoritative basis for the early part of this genealogy.

Selections from Barb Luecke's letters:

1/28/94

Dear Cousin!

Looks like our great3 grandfathers were brothers!

Let me tell you something abut me. I started to do family research in 1975 and stopped in 1983 to devote myself to my job. I was working at Historic Fort Snelling as a tourguide and got very caught up in the research. Interestingly enough I found out that both Turner (1800-39) and Charles (1806-72) were in the 5th Infy Regt. stationed at Ft. Snelling. That's who we portrayed at Ft. Snelling -- the 5th. Now my research took on a more personal tone! My husband and I met at Fort Snelling and last year after 29 combined years of research we published a book on the Snelling family and Ft. Snelling. After the book came out I decided to get back in family research.

Now to your letter! The 1936 letter is probably "Uncle Ike's" letter. Many Wakeland family researchers take his letter with a grain of salt. Some information has been verified, other info can't be verified.

I am just now getting in touch again with other Wakeland researchers and would be happy to (trade) pass on information to you. I am especially interested in your Turner -- especially since I'm still doing research on Ft. Snelling and its occupants....

Enclosed is [my extraction of] Turner's military record... As you can see he did not complete his 5 year term due to illness -- maybe that's why he died so young. I've also enclosed [an extraction of] his father Charles (1777-1852) military record. He was in the Ohio militia right before the Fall of Detroit. He never made it to Detroit. Colonel Snelling (then Captain) was at the Fall of Detroit!

I still wonder if Nianettia/Manetta went with Turner to Ft. Snelling - the gap betwen the children suggests no...
