  • Notes 
    • This Unzicker family relocated from Wilmot to Collinsville, Butler County, at about the same time as the Ropp family).

      He may have been the Daniel Unzicker who paid federal taxes at Groveland in 1863 and 1864 as a retail liquor dealer. However, he is remembered as a shoe maker and farmer.

      They are found on the 1870 census of Morton as farmer Daniel Unsecker, 40, Canada; Josephine, 32, Bern; with four children born in Illinois.

      The 1910 census of Precinct O [Milford}, Seward County, shows Daniel Unzicker, 81, Can Germany, immigrated [presumably from Canada to the United States] in 1833; and Jacobina, 72, Germany, immigrated in 1848. The same census page shows the family of Jacobine's nephew Christian Birky and his first wife Elizabeth Guth/Good. Christian was born in Tazewell County March12, 1851, a son of Johannes/John Birkey of the 'Big Birkeys' and Elizabeth Birky of the 'Little Red Birkeys.'

      Served as administrator for Valentine’s estate.
      Were Daniel and Phoebe cousins?
      “Daniel (Jr.) Unzicker, born at Wilmot, Ontario Feb. 11, 1829, and died in Nebraska. He married Jacobene 'Phoebe' Birky in Tazewell County Nov. 17, 1857. She was born at Gern (now a neighborhood of Munich) Jan. 15, 1838, and died Sept. 15, 1914, a daughter of Valentine Birky and Elizabeth Unzicker. She may have been his cousin. Daniel was a shoe maker. They can be found on the 1910 census of Milford, and are buried there.” [6]
