I haven't learned anything about their travel or what port they arrived in U.S. Legend has it Sarah and youngest daughter Sarah (Ada) were waiting for the rest of the family to arrive. I always thought they must have known someone here to make their journey alone. Most of their daughters married in Clinton and moved on. Only one daughter lived out her life in Clinton. The parents and two youngest moved on to Southern IA and into Missouri. Do any of these names sound familiar? Bonnie Grimmius
