The EDWARDS property is located at the southeast quarter of Section 36. Jesse PATE, another ancestor, bought the southwest corner and Daniel SHINKLE bought the northeast quarter. They all came together in about 1836 and are listed "if not the very first settlers in the forks of the Maquoketa, were certainly among the first" (History of Jackson County). The map shows that the Esgate Cemetery is in Section 34. I have an Abstract of Deed that states Jones and Dorothy EDWARDS sold part of their land, two acres in 1853, to the Methodist Episcopal Church for a building site for $1.00. This shows Section 36, too. That is a great map of Farmers Creek. Is there anyway to make it smaller so it fits on less screens or can be printed? I have an old Jackson Co map, but it does not get this specific in each county. Thanks again.

I correspond with a gentleman in Germany who is researching this name. He speaks no English so we work through a translation program which is a bit difficult. If anyone out there has a connection with the Longschwager or Langschwager name, please contact me. There was a Katherine Longschwager Dietz in Maquoketa, she went to school with my mother in the 1930's. Thank you for any assistance! Ingrid Ruddy [email protected]

Names, dates, plot numbers, etc. They are very helpful - the listings and the Jackson Co Society!

I think I told someone this morning about a book that you can order from the Jackson Co. Historical Society in Maquoketa about cemeteries for $12.00 and it is worth the price. Marge

DEar Lynn, I do know that the library in Bellevue Iowa has cemetary books which list all the cemetarys in and around Bellevue, and those buried there. As for the rest of Jackson co. , Im not sure. But to my knowledge those are not available online. You must go to the library genealogy section to use them. Bonnie

There is a book available at Jackson County Historical Society at Maquoketa , Iowa, called STONE CITIES that has some of the cemeteries listed with stories and bios of some of them. The charge is $12.00 including postage. The author is Don Wentworth.. Marge
