An index of the Iowa 1860 census says there was a George Jones in this county in that year. There were only 6 counties that were not ruled out by middle initials being wrong. I am hoping to find family of my George Jones. He was listed in the Rooks co. Ks census of 1880 as George Newton Jones born in 1853 in Iowa to parents that were both from Illinois. He married my gg grandmother in1875, they had my great grandfather in 1878, in 1883 George Newton Jones disappeared, in 1886 his wife died, and their 3 children were raised by her family. I am looking though for George Newton Jones' siblings ( if he had any) and his parents in Iowa. Clark Jones

Their daughter Lucy married John Trask in chickasaw county. They had 2 other children, William & Ellen. Lydia Jenkins is buried in the Mount Carroll cemetery in the same lot as her son William.

By the 1870 census Lydia & children were in Chickasaw county but John is not listed in the census. A book on the history of Chickasaw county, in a bio of John & lucy mentions that John Jenkins died in New York but does not list a date. I am intersted in anyone with connections to these Jenkins. I would like to know Lydia's maiden name & any information on John.

As a new viewer of the Chickasaw Co site, I was in awe of how professional, detailed and interesting the site was – definitely one of the best on the internet. Since it has only been in the past couple of months that I discovered my family was from Chickasaw, it has almost been an early Christmas present to discover the site at the same time. I know from a newly found relative how hard Jannette works to keep the site up to date and graphically pleasing. Thank you again from another viewer.

Greetings Friends, Just a "heads-up" to let you know the Chickasaw County IA web site was updated Sunday night. Summary of changes: 1. A few additions to the Surname Matrix have been made (pages ABC, DEF, WXYZ) 2. In the Churches Section: --Zion Lutheran Church in Alta Vista: The Confirmations and Deaths/Burials have now been added. 3. The County History Section has been revamped to make way for further expansion. You now open on a Table of Contents and then you can go to the Chronology of the County and a new feature called "Main Street of New Hampton in 1875". This has a picture and a brief description of the picture and what was on main street at that time. 4. In "Maps and Photos" Section, I've revised some of the captions on a few of the photographs. 5. In the "Chickasaw County Research" Section: Stapleton Township has been added to the 1906 Directory Pages. (Stay tuned, there's more coming.) Go there: http://www.rootsweb.com/~iachicka/CK_FrontPage.htm Enjoy, -Jannette
