Seeking information on MOYER name. Ancestor Daniel MOYER believed to have lived in Monterey area. Born 1804 perhaps in NC. Any information on ANY with MOYER name will be appreciated.

Nancy, I read the article and it is VERY appalling. It seems the youth of today need a LOT more guidance from their parents. Scarry when you think that THEY are our leaders of tomorrow. Kat JstPlnKAT@aol.com

Faith, I have always found more info at the courthouse. Also be sure to buy one of their county maps, if you are going cemetery hunting. I think they are about $4.00. They have county road signs up now. This is the first time I have heard of the beautiful courthouse building being called "Ginger Bread" :) Maria From: Robert Roland <rmroland@access2k1.net> To: <IADAVIS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 06, 1999 7:57 PM Subject: Re: [IADAVIS-L] THARP/MINEAR/FLEMING > Faith, > > Bloomfield is the county seat.

Thanks, Martha and Pat, for the info on POWER/POWERS in Davis County. I did not have a Lewis POWERS and maybe there is a connection to David. Do you have a place of birth for Lewis, Pat? Thanks again. Linda Power petey@frugal.com

Wanda, Now *I*must apologize for taking so long to reply! I am sorry to hear of your husband's illness. May God be with you both. Could you send me your Young website address? There isn't any hurry. Whenever you get a chance. At least both of our Youngs made it to IA! Janis

Thanks to everyone for the information on where to go and where to look for information when I get to Bloomfield and Davis County. I knew I could count on weblist members for their assistance. Certainly appreciate all the help I got. Margaret Udell

Start at the Bloomfield Library - genealogy room. The library is located just north of the Post Office. They have a lot of obits already itemized from 1886 on up. Also actual papers - please be careful of these because they tear real easy. If you can not find an item in any of those papers you can try the newspaper office. You will be surprised at all you can find at the library though. The records for birth, death and marriages are kept at the courthouse in the recorders office. They are great gals in there and very happy to help. If you have time you can go up to Ottumwa and check out the Historical Center located at the old railroad depot, 210 West Main. They have a great genealogy department there also. While you are in the court house be sure to take a tour of the rest of the building. The court house is a real treasure for it's time. Also check out the other buildings around town as this is a very old town. There is a welcome center on Hwy 63 just a few blocks north of the square. They sell items made by local folks here and some made by the Amish. Be sure to ask for a map of the different little shops that the Amish have and what they have to sell. I'm sure you will enjoy yourself in Bloomfield and Davis County as well as Ottumwa in Wapello County. Enjoy your trip - Linda

Faith, Bloomfield is the county seat. There's a big "Ginger Bread" courthouse in the middle of the square. The library is a block or two to the west, you will probably find more there than in the CH.

Hi ~ hoping that someone may have access (or know how I could get access to..) the following book: "The History of Davis County, Iowa", written 1882. It mentions an ancestor of mine (Job Carter) being one of the original 8 settlers of Salt Creek. Would love to read it and find out what else there may be about the family. Thanks. Sherre

Will be in Bloomfield next week to try to get birth certificates, death, etc. Any suggestions as to where to start? Faith

I will be in Davis County on my way to the east coast in late September and will be trying to locate information on my ancestors, Margaret A. Barker, b. c 1821, who lived in Davis Co. (recorded on the 1856 census) with her children, Arah (fem.), b. 1838; William, b. 1841; Melissa A., b. 1845; Elizabeth, b. 1849, and Sarah, b. 1852. Records show that all the above were born in Virginia, as well as Margaret's husband, Ephraim. Since Ephraim is not listed on the 1856 Davis Co. census, but is listed on the 1850 census for Ritchie County, West Virginia, it is possible he had died between 1850 and 1856. The family apparently arrived in Davis County in about 1854. While I would be delighted to receive any data on the above, my present request is for suggestions as to where in Davis County I should go to try to locate information on the family while I'm there. Was there a newspaper in the late 1850's; if so, would microfilm copies be available, and where? Where would I go to locate land records? Were marriages recorded at that time (Margaret may have remarried) and if so, where would those records be found? Any historical or genealogical societies whom I should contact either by mail beforehand, or while I am there? Thanks for any tips which might save me time and frustration when I arrive.
