Posted on: Des Moines Co. Ia Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/DesMoines/69 Surname: BURRELL, ROWE, SCHRAMM ------------------------- In the city of Burlington about 1835 to maybe 1860 there was a "pioneer outfitting" store supposedly owned by BURRELL who later sold to SCHRAMM'S. This Burrell wanted to go west, so perhaps it was around the gold rush days. Understand there were many Burrell family members in the area, and they were also related to the ROWE families. Any information would be appreciated and have much to share also. Thank you. Lee Johnson: leela826@aol.com

Posted on: Des Moines Co. Ia Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ia/DesMoines/67 Surname: Larkins, Dowal ------------------------- I am trying to find out any informaion on Elbert Larkins, when his family came to the United States. He lived in Des Moines County in Iowa in the 1800's. His wife was Seldna Dowal. They first appeared in Burlington Iowa in the 1836 census. They had two children, Harriet and Levi. The last time Elbert showed up in the records at the library or court house was in 1876. He signed for his son Levi to marry a girl named Annie Behman. We cannot find a death certificate or any other records to prove death or if he moved. We dont know who his parents were or when they migrated to the United States. If any one has any ideas what we should do next to further our search, it would be greatly appreciated. Any Answers could be emailed to sdl@gallatinriver.net. Thank You Sheila D Larkins
