I would like to hear from anyone who has further information on this person. She would have been born c.1820-1835
Sue, do you know if your Graham family was related to my Grahams in adjoining Van Buren Co., Iowa? They lived at Plymouth, up-river from Farmington. I only have the name of John Graham and his wife Elizabeth Langley; they had five children and the first three died as infants. John's parents were early settlers of Iowa; were from Ireland. John had four brothers, who left Iowa on horseback. --Shirley in LA
Looking for info on GRAHAM brothers, Benjamin and Joseph, who came to the area c. 1837 with their respective families, as well as, a third brother Henry C. who made the trip about 1867 but died enroute or soon after he arrived there. Henry C. was traveling with his son Joseph, Joseph's wife Helen, and their children Carrie, Edward Ellsworth, Emmett. Joseph and Helen had three additional children born in Iowa (and maybe more) between 1868 and 1875? Then that family returned to Ashtabula County, Ohio, from whence they had come. Any info would be appreciated. Sue
I saw this today while i was looking for another surname beginning with F. perhaps a relation to the Frank family you are looking for. Cathleen , click below. <A HREF="http://www.genexchange.com/bioreg2.cfm?letter=f&State=IA#Start">IAGenExchange - Biographies</A> Henry Frank, a farmer of Jefferson township, Shelby county, Iowa, is a native of the great German Empire, born on March 22, 1875, the son of Charles and Wilhelmina (Allery) Frank. The parents came to this country when the subject of the sketch was but seven years old. They found a location in Pottawattamie county, Iowa, where for some years the father worked out among the neighboring farmers by the day. In this way he got his start and finally was able to fit himself out for farming on his own account, renting land for that purpose. He succeeded well in his undertaking and later purchased two hundred and ninety-five acres in Shelby county, west of Irwin, on which he passed the remainder of his life in farming. His widow survived him and a few years after his death she became the wife of Thomas Gawley. There were originally ten children in the Frank family, two of whom died in early childhood. The remaining ones are Ernest, Frieda (Mrs. Nordby), Charles, Henry (who is fifth in the order of birth), Martha (Mrs. Greve), Mamie (Mrs. Gawley), August and John. During the years of his residence here, Charles Frank, father of the subject, made a name for himself as a man of industry, sobriety and strict integrity. He arrived in this county with very little in the way of worldly goods and in a comparatively few years he had gained for himself a competence. In the meantime he reared a promising family of sons and daughters.
Stephanie, Found the following on the Frank surname: The History of Lee County Iowa Western Historical Company, Chicago, 1879 Keokuk City, page 693 Frank, John H., painter. There is no mention of the Frank surname in the index for either the 1887 or 1914 Lee County History Books. Hope this is of some help to you, Mary Sue

Ron, Are there any other Holdefers buried in Clay Grove Cemetery? I am tracking a Holdefer family from Bavaria (so I am told). John Holdefer was born 1815 in Bavaria, married in Pittsburgh, PA in 1839 and settled in Lee County Iowa by 1842 when his second child (of eleven) is born. It could be that your Albert is a grandchild to my John. I know John's children's names, but not grandchildren. You might call the cemetery to see what they can tell you. If you can find Albert's father's name, I might be able to establish a link. Happy hunting, Stephanie

Izzy, I am researching for an Andrew Jackson Case, (who us AR families knew of him only by Jackson Case) we have been told he had 7 wives and 33 children. So thanks to the internet, my husband and I have managed to find what we believe (we just need actual proof now) are good leads to these wives and children. We have no information on his parents or siblings. Though we fount a possible link to his mother might be a Susannah, and he might have had a brother named George, and a sister named Independence. Though these still are just questionable,.... In the paper documents we have been able to get ahold of so far lists his birth date and place as being June 15, 1830 in Illinois probably Randolph county. And he died in AR in Fallsville, Newton County, AR. He is buried at Case Cemetery, Fallsville, Newton County, AR. A cemetery that was started possibly by him when one of his infant sons died. Part of the cemetery today is on the property he owned. But it sounds like your Mary Case might be a link for us. Do you have anything else on her,...like any siblings or parents or anything like that? Or do you know if she might have been married twice? Because of her birthday and place she sounds like she is a good "candidate" to be either a sister or a wife of Jackson. But then again she may not be any thing to our family. So was wondering if you had anything else on her. Jackson moved around quite a bit. From Illinois, Iowa (Lee County), Missouri (Clark County), Arkansas (Newton County), Indiana, and looking on the internet there are three other men by the same name "Andrew Jackson Case" that they all were born around the same time frame and lived in the same states,...so our searching has been really ruff. So anything anyone could add I would appreciate it greatly. I do have definite without a doubt 5 wives and 28 of the children. And some of them I have nothing on except their names, though others I have different information on. So anyone with any kind of help I would appreciate,...and I am willing to share after all if we didn't then we wouldn't never get anywhere with our searches. You can either e-mail me through this web site or e-mail me direct at clinefam@yournet.com again thanks for anything anyone can add.

I understand he was a Civil War Vet. He died at the Montrose train station when he was struck by a train. I was given the newpaper copy of the 1919 tragic accident.

Their children where Sherman, John, Charles, Cassey, James, and Issac. Most of the children married neighbors with the name Clevett/Stiller in Marion, IA. These Shuey's live in MO, MT, & IA. I would be happy for any information. He is buried in Oaklan Cem. in Ft. Madison, IA. Thanks you.
By 1843 a Regular Predestinarian Baptist church called Sugar Creek had been organized in the vicinity of Franklin in Lee County, by Elder William Bradley. Elder Bradley also established another church, called Providence, the same year, at or near New Nashville, in Lee Co. I would like to know if either of these churches owned property (if they did, it could have been land for a log church bldg), and if so, where each was located, if possible to determine. If anyone know, or has any clues, I will appreciate it, as it will be two or three months, at least, before I will have time to actually do any checking in a recorders office.

Hi Everyone, I am new to this list and thought Id start by letting you all know who Im looking for there. On the 1850 Census for Keokuk, Lee County Iowa the family of Jonas Hancock was listed. I can find no trace of any of them after 1850, except possibly Jonas, who I think went to SF, Calif and by 1860 was going by John instead of Jonas. I think this was my gg grandfather if he is the same person. My gg grandfathers obits state that he was in Iowa before going to Calif abt 1852, and the birth date, location and occupation do match up. I suspect that sometime after 1850 that his wife Elizabeth and the three children may have died from an epidemic or something and may be buried somewhere in Keokuk, but I dont know where to start looking for them. Any suggestions for further research or any information on them would be most sincerely appreciated. Here is what was listed on the 1850 Census: Jonas Hancock, 24yrs, Printer, Pa. Elizabeth, 24, NJ or NY (looks like NI on census) Mary, 5, NY George, 4, PA Elizabeth, 4 months, IA Thanks, Maggie Hall

Posted on: Lee Co. Ia Obituaries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/LeeObits/193 Surname: Horst ------------------------- Hebron Register-Champion, March 27, 1930: JACOB HORST Jacob Horst was born May 4, 1857 in Lee County, Iowa. He was a son of Henry Horst and his wife, Elizabeth, nee Gettleman. By baptism he was received into covenant-relation with the Triune God. In accordance with the Lord's command he was instructed in the saving truths of the Christian religion and was confirmed in the Evangelical St. Peter's church of Franklin Centre, Lee Co., Iowa. When a young man the departed brother came with parents to Thayer Co., Nebr. On the 26th of April 1895 he was joined in marriage with Miss Dina Doering of Kiowa. To this union were born nine children, four sons and five daughters. Three daughters preceded their father into eternity, two of them in early childhood and one, Dina, when 17 years of age, following a surgical operation. The family lived near Kiowa for several years, then near Oak, and since 1916 in the vicinity of Hebron. Since that time they have also been faithful members of Grace Lutheran congregation. During practically his whole life the departed brother was in good health. During the last year, however, there were indications now and then that his strength and endurance were diminishing. Because of his advancement in years this was considered but natural and no serious trouble was suspected. When the family just recently moved to the farm 5 miles north of Hebron, he helped with all the work; although any exertion was becoming increasingly difficult for him. Two weeks ago last Sunday he was present for the last time in our Divine Service which he loved so well to attend. The following Friday he consented to be taken to a physician who found that a most serious and incurable heart affliction had seized him and was already in its last stage. The disease advanced with alarming rapidity. Soon he could no longer lie down except after the administering of hypodermics and sleep came only during short intervals. In a truly Christian manner, he prepared for his departure from this earthly life. The sweet and sure promises of God's Word proved again their power in comfort and sustain. Together with his faithful wife he partook of Holy Communion. And when on Sunday evening, March 23 death came those present realized that it was no death to him, but a peaceful falling asleep in Jesus. He attained the age of 72 years, 10 months, and 19 days. His departure is mourned by his grief-stricken widow, six children, four sons: Herman, Edward, Albert, and Gerd; and two daughters, Mrs. Recka Runge and Mrs. Ella Sharp; eight grandchildren; two brothers and four sisters; and other relatives and a large circle of friends who held Mr. Horst in the highest esteem. Our congregation loses in him a very loyal and conscientious member. The funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon beginning at 1:30 o'clock at the home and continuing in Luther Hall Auditorium. Rev. Heuer spoke words of eternal truth and abiding comfort based on John 6:40 and John 8, 51. Christian hymns voicing victory and triumph over sin and death were sung, victory and triumph through Him Who tested death for us all and Who gives to those who art His own, eternal life and at the last day will raise them up to a life that shall know no sorrow and no death. The burial took place in Rose Hill Cemetery.
