   LeMasters  Chandler Fairchild Wheeler

The maternal line of families of Pack,  Chandler, Wheeler, Fairchild, LeMasters, Jayne, Layne, Milliam/Miller are families who have settled in the SE Kentucky the counties of Floyd, Johnson and Lawrence.  Hill people, or as great Aunt Trim said "we are Americans". The other maternal line of Wessling, Somers, Schuler, Plagge are immigrants from Germany and Alse Lorraine area of Germany settling in Chicago, IL and Warren Co., PA, traveling to Geneso, IL

Both the DeCourcy and the Pack families settled in 1914 in Redwood County, MN near Walnut Grove. (Laurel Ingalis Wilder books refer to Walnut Grove/Little House on the Praire, TV series) The Pack farm is still in the family, is two miles on the same road straight east from the Ingalis farm)  My mother and her sisters used to play at both places when they were growing up.
