I have a Simon Farris that was born in Iowa in abt.1864 / was on the 1920 harrison county census, and his father was from pennsylvania and mother was from canada; according to the census. He had a wife, 2 children, 2 teenage foster children and a widowed mother-in-law living with him at this time. One year later his wife died and a year after that his mother-in-law died. I cannot find any further records. Do you think they might come from your family?
