I have just joined the list. My great great grnadmother Anna Margaret Plank was a daughter of Jacob B. Plank. She was born December 25, 1844 in Fowler, Indiana and died September 2, 1920 in Jacksonville, Florida. Anna married Charleroi (Charles) Everett on April 28, 1867 (location unknown). They are buried nest to each other in the Evergreen Cemetery in Jacksonville, Florida. Jacob B. Plank married Elizabeth Cline on August 16, 1838 in Carrol County, Indiana. I have found on a rootsweb site that Jacob and Elizabeth are buried in the Oakland-Main Cemetery in Makee Township, Iowa. Would like to try and verify this with copies of cemetery records, newspaper clipping or funeral home record. Would also like any information on when they came to Iowa and How many brothers or sisters Anna had. Have some infor on her brother Levi and a little on her sister Vashti. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at [email protected] Thank you for any help Harlo Everett, Jr.
