It is just SE of Woodbine, IA.At one time the area was called Boyer Township. It's a very small fenced in cemetery. The stones we could read were as follows: Emeline wife of M. Cowan died May 6, 1883 --- S Farnsworth died May 10, 1873 At the top of this marker it says My Husband.(on this stone it also says the age of the person - I think it says 33 years and 10 months) --- Francis son of M & E Cowan died at the age of 2 years --- Son of C. E. & N. E. Cowan Died April 3, 1894 Aged 1 y, 1 m, 9 days (Clyde is on the top of the stone) There was also 3 small stones only one had any markings left, it said FMC. The cemetery is about one and a half blocks from the road. It cannot be seen from the road, but the big beautiful oak tree they are buried under can be. We were told by a person living nearby that a man from Sioux Falls or Sioux City, IA goes to the cemetery every Memorial weekend and places flowers on the graves and buys apples from the nearby orchard...curious. I am willing to share these pictures with you if you would like some extra documentation. Also the 1860 Iowa census for Boyer Township has a Miles Cowan 26, Emeline Cowan 23, and William Cowan 1.

She was living in 1920 with her dau., Ivis Peabody. In 1930 Ivis had remarried and was living in Penn, with her husband, Harry Lee. Her son, James, was listed as living in the house. Where are you residing, state. You could probably write to Haverhill's vital records dept. or check on line and write to the States vital records and have them send you a copy, if you do not have one. Hopefully her parents will be listed. Bonnie Email is Bonnietomlaffe@Yahoo.com

From what I have been able to figure, there were at least 3 Woodbury's. One born in Maine, two in New Hampshire. Mine was b. New Hampshire, 1862. He married Lena Cowan approximately 1885. They resided in Massachutes where my Great Grandmother (Ivis M.) was born June 10, 1887 (via LDS Family History Center Records) I did find a Woodbury in New Hampshire, but he existed at the same time as mine in Massachutes. I am beginning to wonder if Woodbury was his nickname since in 1900 census he is listed as Witt E or Wilds E. Research can be so frustrating! Again, thank-you! Andra

Andrew Phelps McCormick Scotch-Irish in Ireland and in America : as shown in sketches of the pioneer Scotch-Irish families McCormick, Stevenson, McKenzie and Bell, in North Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri and Texas New Orleans: unknown, 1897, 251 pgs. Note that this book was written in 1897. We often have a question about Mortimer Steele. I happened to run across this when I was looking on Heritage Quest. I liked the Go West section so I included it for your enjoyment. Page 27, 28 Not far from this McCormick farm , but probably across the Catawba River, in Iredell County, lived Mortimer Steele, who had commanded a company of Whigs in the War for Independence, and who was known far and near as Captain Steele. He was a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian. His wife was a native of Wales. They had at least five children - three sons and two daughters, of whom I have hear my parents make mention. The sons were named John, William and Henry, and the daughters were named Sarah and Rebecca. Of John and William, I have been able to learn only their names, and that they lived to become men of family and moved from North Caroloina to some point in the then West in the early years of this century. Of Henry and Rebecca some further mention will be made as we proceed in this chapter. Sarah Steele, who was barn in North Carolina in 1774, became the wife of Andrew McCormick, in 1803. These are my grandparents. After the fashion of those times (still observed in many Presbyterian families) they are kept their family record on the suitable leaves inserted between the Old and New Testament, as the sacred scriptures were then bound for such family use. <snip> the record has become so marred that the writing showing the exact date of the birth and marriage of these grandparents has become illegible.The sister, Rebecca, married Robert Stevenson, who was my mother's uncle and was a great uncle of Vice-President Adlai E. Stevenson. Jane Stevenson, a sister of Robert, married William Sloan. About this time, Mr. Jefferson's purchase of Louisiana began to thrill the pulses of aspiring young people throughout the South Atlantic States. Long before Mr.Greenley had made himself noted by his oft repeated iteration of the advice, "Go west, young man, and grown up with the country, " that thought had been acted on in all the Coloinies and States from Maine to Georgia. The impulse now became epidemic in the Catawba County. In one year forty families of the Bethany Church and congregation moved across the mountains into Tennessee and further west.
