I grew up in Jones County. Iowa, as a small child but then moved with my family to Linn County, Iowa, in 6th grade. I haven't been to Ely but have certainly heard of it. My grandmother (Martin's descendant), her twin sister, and her parents lived in the mountains of Colorado but moved to Missouri in about 1917. My mother (Martin's descendant) was born in Missouri but married my father who was from Jones County, Iowa, and has lived in Iowa ever since. She lives in Linn County, as a matter of fact. The name of the Missouri cemetery in Vernon County, MO, just came to me so I checked the internet to see if I could find the Steadmans. It is Sandstone Cemetery, and here is the link: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSsr=41&GScid=31434& Since Minnie Steadman's dad is buried in the same cemetery, it appears that Aaron Steadman married a Missouri gal. I still think he is my Aaron Cleveland Stedman, but I will need to take a look at some of my Stedman papers. It has been a while since I have focused on them.
