This is my personal genealogy hobby site. The data contained here has been gathered through 20 years of genealogy. Some of it is my research, much of it has been shared with me.

DISCLAIMER: This is my speculative data. I've verified very little of it. Use it for hints and pointers, but do your own research!

It costs me over $50 (US) a month to have this data on the web, so your support would be appreciated! If clicking on advertisments is not your thing, please consider a donation!

NOTES

In the Last Will and Testament of his unmarried sister, Carrie Halstead Downing a bequeathment states To my beloved brother, Joseph R. Downing, the sum of $700. The will is dated May 9, 1930 thus it would appear Joseph R. Downing was alive at the timethe will was prepared.

His death date was provided by Marilyn Grissom, grandaughter of Thomas Ellsworth Downing. Death certificate ordered 11 25 00. The family papers that Marilyn provided me with indicate that Joseph s first marriage to Emily Butler ended when Emily died in childbirth. The child also died. They are buried in the Maize Cemetery, Maize, Sedgwick county, Kansas. It also indicates that Joseph is buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, Wichita, but the records of Maple Grove do not support that statement.
