I have just recently started a 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 Columbia Co., Wisconsin. Mary was born 1859 in Wisconsin. She died in 1947 and is also buried at Oxford Cemetery. The Wisconsin Census state that DAVID DRINKWATER'S parents were born in Ireland and MARY EVANS parents in Pennsylvania. The parents for DAVID and MARY are both unknown. DAVID and MARY had 7 known children:
