We now have three genealogy files on this site: our main database which is a combined ‘Ives-Leedom’ tree, plus two additional working trees with so-far unconnected people I've found along the way, ‘Leedoms-unknown’ and ‘Netherlands-unknown’. All of the Search results will identify which tree contains the individual or place in question.

Different sources sometimes have conflicting information and there are undoubtedly a few typographical errors in here as well. Please feel free to send us any corrections to errors you may find in our files. Additions are always welcome too!

Jane Stearns

Female 1819 - 1888  (68 years)


Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All

  • Name Jane Stearns 
    Birth 2 Oct 1819  Amsterdam, Montgomery, New York Find all individuals with events at this location 
    Gender Female

    Notes 
    • According to ref 13 she married "D. G. Linginfelter, of Amsterdam, N. Y.; d., Sept., 1888, at Los Angeles, Cal". She married David Lingenfelter, son of Gradus, before 1840, and sometime between 1850 and 1860, they moved to Mazomanie, Dane WI. Husband David and son Charles both served in the Civil War in the 23rd Regiment of the WI Infantry (Companies G & D respectively). The 1880 census of Grand Haven, Ottawa MI lists Jane as divorced and living with her brother Lawton - in 1870 David is listed with son Charles at Richland Twp, Delaware IA without Jane so they probably divorced before 1870. The 1888 death date for Jane in Los Angeles is possible, her brother George moved to Los Angeles before 1888 so certainly possible she went with him. [1]
