![]() The tombstone for William Cromwell is alone. There are no other members of the Cromwell family in this cemetery. According to the marker, William was 5 years and 10 months when he died 6 February 1856, and was the son of O. L. and S. Cromwell.[1] Attempting to trace William's parents, an Oliver Cromwell and wife Sophrona were enumerated in Linwood, Portage County, Wisconsin in 1860.[2] Following this family through the 1850-1880 censuses results in a small family with all sons.[3] 1850, Copake, Columbia County, New York 1860, Linwood, Portage County, Wisconsin 1870, Madison, Jones County, Iowa 1880, Wyoming, Jones County, Iowa Looking at the 1850 census, a son being born after 1 June 1850 would easily slot into that household. Unfortunately, very few records from Adams County, Wisconsin have been microfilmed. I will keep working at this one.
