This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McKissick, Hunsaker, Jones, Gordon Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ok.2ADE/1771.1 Message Board Post: In the "search space" provided at the beginning of these posting, type in "county commissioners"....Under the posting showing the marriage of William McKissick and Martha Acord you will read that the first three-member-board of county commissioners included William McKissick, Isaac Hunsaker and David Jones! ....AND....that their first meeting was held on Sept. 10, 1849. SSssOOoo!!, Lingenfelter must have been referring to s-o-m-e set of commissioners, which included Gordon, who were appointed (by the State of Iowa?) to oversee the ORGANIZING election of Fremont county. That would have been in the spring of 1849, so perhaps that date IS correct. A definitive answer if need, please.
