Drinkwater Family History. As I don't have much in the way of information, any help would be greatly appreciated.
My Great Grandfather is DAVID
Drinkwater, born 1858 in
Wisconsin. He died in 1931 and is buried at
Oxford Cemetery,
Oxford,
Marquette Co., Wisconsin. He married MARY M. EVANS on Dec. 9, 1891 in
