United States census records 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930 Madison Co., Illinois and Carbon Co., Pennsylvania. NOTE: 1. Andreas LAPP and family were living in Upper Alton, Madison Co., Illinois from at least 1866. He was a wagon maker and I assume Clara met James SCHMEISCORS through this. There is no marriage record for them in Madison Co., Illinois so.......married PA? 2.
