Are you looking for a fun project? Then you have come to the right place! IAGenWeb has four great counties that need coordinators. Take a look at Warren, Lucas, Guthrie, and Appanoose counties at http://iagenweb.org/state/colist.php . They all have great information available, but really need someone to add more data and care for them. If you ever wondered what it takes to be a coordinator, go to http://iagenweb.org/state/primer.htm . We look forward to hearing from you soon with your choice of counties!

Have you tried 411.com? There are still a few Bozman's in Iowa. One of them might be able to direct you to someone who is familiar with the family history.

I found a biography of Benjamin's son Joseph W. Bozman that gave me quite a bit of information. From that bio and from census records, it looks like these were Benjamin's sons who were in Louisa County at one time-- 1 Levi Bozman (I think called Lewis in the bio) married Elizabeth Jackson in Licking Co., OH. They are buried in Concord, Morning Sun Twp., Louisa Co. 2 Brady Bozman (may be the James B. Bozman in the bio) married Julia [--?--]. They died some time after 1880 and a lot of their descendants stayed in Louisa Co. 3 Joseph W. Bozman married Nancy Orrison. Their 10 children are listed in the bio--Albert, Nancy Minerva, Isadora, Almeda, Ulysses G., George S., John Franklin, Norris, J. William, and Lula M. 4 Cleason Bozman married Elizabeth Bryant in 1872 in Louisa Co. In 1856 Cleason was living in the home of John and Jane Stewart in Wapello Twp. I don't know the connection to Stewarts, if there is one. Benjamin Bozman and Priscilla Brady had a total of 12 children, according to that biography. I haven't yet figured out who they all were. If anyone has information to add to this, I would be grateful.

Maxwell (died 1861) <http://iagenweb.org/boards/louisa/obituaries/index.cgi?rev=217908> AUTHOR: Ken Wright DATE: 1/24/2009 at 21:13:31 Surnames: MAXWELL Des Moines Times, reprinted in the Dubuque Weekly Times, November 28, 1861. A SAD AND IMPRESSIVE SCENE- The troops which passed through here on their way to Fort Randall, were, during their short stay at this place, called upon to render a last tribute of respect to the memory of a departed brother. The name of the unfortunate soldier was William S. Maxwell, and his residence was near Wapello, in Louisa County. He was quite unwell when the troops arrived, but continued to grow worse, and refusing all medical aid, was shortly beyond the reach of human skill. He died on Sunday night, and at three o’clock on Monday afternoon his body was followed to its long home by all three companies who marched through the streets with muffled drum and with military honors deposited his remains in the Cemetery near town. ‘Twas sad to see a brave boy who had responded to his country’s call, and who had given his all for our protection, thus carried to his resting place.

The HARRIS family traveled from Licking County, OH to Louisa County, Iowa in 1851 or 1852. They appear in the 1850 U.S. Census of Ohio and the 1856 State Census of Iowa. Jesse HARRIS was married to Rhoda SHAVER on 3 Jul 1851 in Licking Co., OH probably a short time before they left for Iowa. Rhoda's mother, Elizabeth DAVIS, is the only member of my DAVIS family that I have been unable to find information about. In 1852 Elizabeth and her husband, Joseph SHAVER, disposed of all of their property and possessions in Licking County and left for Iowa to join their children, Rhoda HARRIS and Samuel N. SHAVER. Along the way Joseph fell from a stable loft and died a few weeks later, 29 Nov 1852. According to his obit in the Licking County Genealogical Society file this happened in Lafayette. They could have traveled through both Lafayette, OH and Lafayette, IN, but I have been unable to find any reference to the event in either place. Probably unbeknownst to them, their son, Samuel, had died 1 Oct 1852 in Louisa Co., IA. I have been unable to find anything about Elizabeth from that time on. I have found no record of her having joined her children in Iowa or having returned to Licking County. She was 43 years old at the time. I would be forever indebted to anyone who can shed light on this mystery. Donald Young [1][email protected] wrote: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Norma, I think that is the corner by my house. You can see the columns to the left, which I assume is the courthouse. Can't figure out what that tall building is.

Each of these extensive gazeteer and immigrant guides contain the description of places and place names, many of which are no longer found on contemporary maps, including: cities, towns, villages, settlements, schools, post offices, transportation routes and schedules, and much more. Historical Guides and Gazetteer CD's may also include maps of the period providing cartographic reference to 19th century places identified and discussed in the literature. Also included are hundreds of advertisements by contributing businesses providing historical insight into the goods, services and the merchants that made them available during the 19th century.

States with maps and atlases currently available are shown in the graphic to the right. 19th century geographic and statistical data are useful to historians, genealogists and researchers with an interest in the landscape and cultural setting of this period. Early county maps may contain many places that no longer exist or that have been obscured over time. Atlases with statistical data provide vivid detail of 19th century pioneer lifestyles. Details on early maps are often difficult to read and these are no exception; however, by virtue of the Adobe PDF formatting, these documents may be inspected and printed at high levels of magnification without additional digital distortion; something that simply cannot be accomplished with paper reproductions and photocopies. There is a vast amount of information that can be gleaned from these sources and the diligent researcher will find these cartographic resources useful in their studies. ------------------------------------------------------------ Good luck with your research!
