Wanda, Thanks for your response. it may give me further avenues to check. While these may not be directly connected to Elizabeth Marcus, it is possible that they are connected to the Ferguson whom she married. >From taped conversations I have of my grandfather, Ezra Boal (now deceased), it seems that after the death of husband Daniel Small, upon Elizabeth's remarriage (to __ Ferguson?) she and her husband resided in Missouri. It is unlikely that they ever returned to Davis County, IA as there was a dispute over daughter Venda, who was 11 yrs old. The dispute resulted in her grandparents, John Small and Nancy Kilgore bringing their granddaughter Venda back to Davis County, IA from Missouri, where she was then raised and where she married my great-grandfather Delmore D. Boal in 1881. Under the ill-feelings of the time it is unlikely that Elizabeth and her husband returned to Davis County. Thanks again. Steve Boal Some other surnames I am researching in Davis Co, IA: Boal, French,Small, McCullough, Maddy, O'Conner, Rinehart, Ascroft, Baughman, Becraft, McLaughlin, Burton, Reagin, Caudy, Stookesberry, Gooden, Atheide, Graves, Cossel, Van Horn.
