Dear Friend Hall: "Enclosed I send you papers which will show you that about the First of last June one James Rollins of this county had a waggon and two yoke of oxen taken from him by R.B. Mitchell, Indian sub agent at Council lBluffs, for confiscation. The papers will show all about the affair. "I took some affidavits showing you that Rollins is a good honest man. Now sir, I want you if you please to take the necessary trouble to go the proper department at Washington city and try and get a remission of the penalty. This I am advised to do by Mr. Thomas Y. Garitt of St. Louis, U.S. Attorney for Missouri and he has had the case continued in the U.S. Court until the next March Term to give us an opportunity for the remission of the penalty. "He said to apply to the Treasury Department. It is a small matter with the Government and a very large one with Mr. Rollins as it was his all. I can assure you that the people of this county would unaminously sign a petition to have Rollins' property released, and by attending to this you will confer a lasting favor on me and do Rollins and his family a great act of kindness--Let me hear from you soon. "You wrote me from Savannah about the time you started for Washington but I have deferred answering not knowing where to write you until you would get there. You want me to give you the names of the Leading Democrats of the different neighbourhoods of this county. And I will now comply: Samuel Watson, B. B. Grigsby, Abraham Brown, Robert Nichel, Capt. Jasper, Daniel B. Holeman, John Collins, David H. Duncan, Y. V. Dickey, Lenes Helm, H. G. Noland, John Gibson, James Miller, John Wilson, Israel Beebe. "There is an other matter that I would be pleased to have you attend to that is this George W. Kelly the post master at this place has gone into the Oregon Battalion as a volunteeer and has left the office in the charge of Whigs and I am his security and dont want to stand any losses. I wrote to J. W. Brown on the subject but get no answer. I recommended John Dozier as a suitable person for Post Master. He is a good Democrat and well qualified and would give general satisfaction. I hope that you will attend to this at your earliest convenience.--I remain your sincere Friend. James Foster. (I shall look for Documents from you.)" N.B.: The Oregon Battalion (so called) was stationed at Old Fort Kearney. Its engineer established new Fort Kearny at Grand Island; and the Platte Valley was purchased from the Indians to be used as the Oregon Trail through Indian Country--hence it has been called the "Oregon Battalion".--W.F.

County of Holt.--"This affiant, James Rollins, makes oath anays (?) that on or about the first of June last he this affiant started from his residence in Holt County for the Mormon Camp with a waggon and two yoke of oxen. The waggon was loaded with corn and bacon and some thirty or forty lbs. of flour in it. The load cost me some twenty five dollars in Holt County and this affiant took the Load with the intention of selling the same to his brother Mormons who were in much kneed (sic) of provisions. "This affiant further states that he had with him in a jug about one gallen of whiskey which was all the spirituous liquor that was in his possession at that time. "And this affiant expressly states that he took the Liquor along for his own use and not for the purpose of selling or giving any of it to the Indians, believing that it would be beneficial to his health when camping out in the wet weather, to have a dram. "This affiant further states that when he had arrived near the Potawatomie Country on what is called the Musketoe Creek and within about three miles of the Potawatomie agency, he this affiant camped over night. And in the morning went out to get up his team which he had to do on foot and traveling through the grass and weeds had made him very wet up to his waste and when he had got back to the waggon he got his jug to get a dram and at that moment an Indian came up and requested me to give him a dram which he this affiant refused to do. But after long pursuading upon the part of the Indian he this affiant consented and gave the Indian about a half a quart of whiskey for which the Indian gave to this affiant's boy a cotton handkerchief and afterwards took away from the boy. "This affiant expressly stated that he did not give the whiskey to the Indian with any intention of violating any law or doing any wrong but out of charity to the Indian, believing that all he gave the Indian could not hurt any person and if this affiant erred at all it was an error of the head and not of the heart. "This affiant further states that a short time after the Indian got the liquor of this affiant, that Major R.B. Mitchell, Indian Sub agent at Council Bluffs came and seized this affiant and took him and his waggon, team, loading. The waggon team and loading Mr. Mitchell took as property for confiscation and still does retain the same as such from the possession of this affiant. "This affiant further states that he never did any trading with the Indians not even one cent worth except the aforesaid transaction. "And this affiant further states that he has a wife and five small children to support and that the aforesaid waggon and team and Load was about all the property that he possessed and that he is in every respect very poor.--(Signed) James Rollins. "Sworn to and subscribed before me this 15th day of September A.D. 1847.--John Collins, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Holt County, Missouri." N.B.: Richard Elliott, the sub-agent after Stephen Cooper, established the agency cabins in the hollow where Kanesville was later built. Cooper's had built his agency cabin just south of what used to be Knox, Iowa, but retained the use of this building after quitting (or being relieved) as sub-agent. Elliott complained that this location was much too far south to be of good use to the Pottawatomie.-- W.F.

Have been trying to verify family lore re a connection to the PALM family - perhaps to a man named Elmer PALM. I have a handwritten note in my grandmother's papers indicating that her sister, Rosetta KRYGER, born est. 1877 in Iowa (daughter of Peter KRYGER and Sarah E. STEPHENS, perhaps born in Ross Township, Fremont County), married a man named Elmer Palm. Also written separately on the same piece of paper are the words "South Dakota" but it is unclear if the place has anything at all to do with the people. Anyone researching the PALM family in Fremont County? Is there an Elmer? Who did he marry? Did a PALM family in Fremont County come from -- or move to -- South Dakota? Any information, suggestions or clues would be very much appreciated. At this point, even eliminating a possibility would feel like progress with this branch of my KRYGER/STEPHENS family!

Hello veterans and newbies of the rootsweb. This posting has been preapproved my the list owner. There are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. As there are 1542 prisoners on record from the state of Iowa and almost 300 who died here, I thought I would send my offer. . I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides as well as all Americans who gave their freedoms for those that we enjoy today.. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.
