Initiallly settling in Jefferson and Coshocton Counties in Ohio they moved to Glasgow, Jefferson County, Iowa in 1841. Two sons were born in Jefferson County, Ohio, George in 1826 and James W. in 1829. My suspicion says they originally settled in Ohio to join family already there. I have considerable data on the family from the time they arrived in Iowa , including the move to Clarke County, Iowa by my ancestor James W. and Elenor (Abrams) whose family moved from Licking County, Ohio to Glasgow. There is also indication that Ann's maiden name may have been Love.
