Does anyone know any of the names mentioned below? All are deceased and I am searching for more info on my family.

My grt grt grandfather was Samson Boss (may have went by nellie) his children Oliver, Delilah, Moellus, & Phoebe with Susie Gray. His last wife was Susannah (may have went by Janie Rowells or another name) and they had a daughter Rebecca who married Charles Boswell and they camped in Chicago around the same time period you're speaking of here. They had a son Oliver who died at the age 18. My grandmother was Nellie Boswell and was married 3 times, To a Haight, a Walter Cook (my grandfather who died before I was born, I've never even seen a photo of him) and a Murphy. I am looking for information on my grt grandfather Charles Boswell born abt 1875 (last name maybe Wainwright) who had a sister named Elizabeth who was suppose to have a casino of some sorts. Or any information on any listed here. Any Info would be greatly appreciated especially photos. Thanks! I believe Charles was from the lovell family. He states on SS record his mother was Delorany Lovell and his father Corneilous Boswell.
Thanks!
