How about the 1870 census. I THINK this is Adam. Is Nancy C. your Nancy? 1870 Benton Co. Polk twp 1377 A.W. Featherkile 58 NY 800/1600 Sarah 44 NC cannot read or write Adam 18 IA Polly 15 IA John 14 IA Abram 12 IA Sarah 10 IA Mary E. 7 IA Nancy C. 5 IA Julia J. 2 IA The 1910 History of B.C. p. 124 states simply A.A. Fetherkile was born in this township (Polk) in the 1850s. His parents came to the township in the fifties. >From my Berry collection: I THINK A.A. is Alexander Fetherkile. Alexander married Alicia Berry b. 1858 oldest dau of Robert and Martha [Cox] B. They had son Clarence who d. 1980 and a brother Harry is mentioned in obit. also a son is listed John Cecil, no wife mentioned. Alicia's sister Nancy Jane (Jenny) b. 1859 m. John Fetherkile. Robert Berry is brother to my ancestor Nancy. Not much but maybe it will help you find kin.
