Dear Janice, Patricia and LC list, I didn't see an initial query on the TEAS name. Family members were in Des Moines, Louisa, Henry and Washington counties, that I know of. There was more than one George Washington Teas. I have a collateral connection to the descendants of one of them, and have a little information I could share. The above is in reference to a George Washington and Lovey Teas, parents of Joseph Bartlett Teas, born 4 July 1800 in Tennessee, married Martha Morgan 13 June 1822 in Sangamon County, Illinois. I have names of their children and further descendants, if anyone is interested.

Dear Melissa, There are a lot of Louisa County people descended from this family, but I don't know how many are actively researching. There is a lot of information in the courthouse, libraries, Heritage Center, etc. I'll refer you to someone you may have been in contact with, a former postmaster in Morning Sun. He may be able to put you in contact with descendants--there are several Hamilton families in Louisa County, and relationships between them have not been established. Contact: Eugene Hamilton, 101 S Washington St., Morning Sun, IA 52646. Telephone # is 319-868-7902. Hope for the best!

Keith, thank you very much. That is the SARGENT family I am researching, although as usual with this family, some of the information conflicts with other records. Reson is my wife's gr grandfather. If this census information is correct, Abraham & Nancy were married in Louisa Co. in 1841 and had their first child there in 1844. They then moved to Indiana for five years or so and had their next three children there. Then came back to Louisa Co. in time for the 1850 census. With this family this is very possible, they moved across the state of Oregon about six times between 1858 and 1880. The John Adams family is also the one that I was looking for, although I haven't made the connection yet. I think that they may have been Nancy's parents. If they are, they also ended up in Oregon in 1852. Are there any earlier records that might give a clue as to when these families first arrived in Louisa County? As with most questions answered, more questions are asked. Thank you again.

Is there an index for the 1850 Federal Census for Louisa Co? I am trying to find out how many ADAMS families there were in the county at that time. I am trying to find the parents of Nancy ADAMS. She was married in 1841 in Lousia Co. and is shown in the census with her husband (Abraham SARGENT) and family. I am hoping that her parents were still in the county in 1850. I think her parents were John and Rebecca ADAMS. Thank you for your time and assistance. Jim Bellingham WA jimcook@memes.com

I am searching for any information on any Butcher's/Manley or Manly's of Lousia County. William Butcher married a Harriett Ann Manley or Manly. They had 5 children. Adam Alexander Butcher, my link, was born August 4, 1873, in Louisa County. His siblings were William, the oldest, b abt 1870, Ada b abt 1883, she never married, Margaret and Eva. William Sr died about 1883 when Adam was 10 years old. His mother supposedly remarried a retired Union soldier by the name of William Orr. At the time of her remarriage the grow children apparently lived in Conville, Iowa. I found a Harriet Orr listed in the Greenwood Cemetery, Muscatine, index. It listed her age at time of death to be 78 years. I have not been able to find any information on William Butcher SR. I am not sure if he died prior to the birth of his last child Ada. If this family sounds familiar to anyone, please advise. Thank you. Katherine __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send online invitations with Yahoo!

GRISWOLD family records Louisa County, Iowa Searched by Keith Street in April, 2000. The Census Records have not been searched by me for Louisa County Griswold family members, with the exception of the 1850 Federal Census. In that census, in Columbus City Township, Residence # 9 and Household # 9, is listed the family of Franklin Griswold, age 47, born in Connecticut, and a farmer by trade. His wife is Eliza, also listed as age 47 and born in Connecticut. The children listed are Grace, 17; Benjamin F, 15, both born in Connecticut. The remaining children, born in Iowa, are Edward O. and Edgar H., 13, listed as twins; Frances A., 10; Ira M., 6; and Virginia, 4. For those interested in this surname I would recommend searching the Federal and State censuses through 1925. I did search some of the Louisa County military censuses from 1862 onward. Franklin's children are mentioned, but he (head of household in the 1850 Federal Census in above paragraph) would not have been of military age and therefore is not listed. Ira is consistently listed from 1863 through 1880, first in Marshall Township and in 1871 and later in Elm Grove Township. Benjamin Franklin is listed in Marshall Township from 1865 through 1878. Edward (E. O.) first appears in Marshall Township in 1866 but soon disappears. In 1874 he appears in Columbus City Township, but again disappears after 1876. A son of Ira M., a M. Oliver Griswold, appears in Columbus City Township from 1879 through 1884. I did no searching after 1884. The Louisa County Genealogical Society has had only one person expressing interest in the Griswold surname in the past. The query then was from a Shirley Payton. She provided information about a Catherine Slaughter, daughter of Richard and Frances Slaughter, who first married John Payton and had children : (1) William Payton, born 1839 (2) Richard Payton, born 1840 (3) Frances Payton, born 1842, married Franklin Fowler (4) James M. Payton, born circa 1845, married Pauline Dix; (5) John W. Payton, born 1848. Catherine Slaughter Payton then married a second time to Ira M. Griswold and had one son, M. Oliver Griswold. I will place additional information in the GRISWOLD file about cemetery burials, obituaries, etc. Contact me by e-mail if you wish copies.

I am not sure how my name ever became connected to the surname Winters. I have been receiving e-mails and letters with no SASE enclosed enquiring about this name. I have done absolutely no research whatsoever on the name Winters. My husband's sister was married to a Winters, now deceased, whom we loved dearly, but I know none of his family and only met his sister and nieces briefly at his funeral.... His own sons by a previous marriage did not attend the funeral. To the best of my knowledge none of these folks ever lived in Louisa County and may live around the quad cities. I don't know anyone to refer you to as his widow and his unmarried son and daughter that are related to us aren't into genealogy. There are no grandchildren or descendants to help spike that interest. Norma Jennings I am not sure how my name ever became connected to the surname Winters.

I am not sure how my name ever became connected to the surname Winters. I have been receiving e-mails and letters with no SASE enclosed enquiring about this name. I have done absolutely no research whatsoever on the name Winters. My husband's sister was married to a Winters, now deceased, whom we loved dearly, but I know none of his family and only met his sister and nieces briefly at his funeral.... His own sons by a previous marriage did not attend the funeral. To the best of my knowledge none of these folks ever lived in Louisa County and may live around the quad cities. I don't know anyone to refer you to as his widow and his unmarried son and daughter that are related to us aren't into genealogy. There are no grandchildren or descendants to help spike that interest. Norma Jennings

I just learned about an FTP program that is very easy for amateurs to use. In transferring another web site over to a new coordinator, she told me she was using FTP Explorer. With my curiosity aroused I ran the program down and tried it out in case I would need to help her loading or downloading. I doubt if I will ever have to use it for that purpose but it was a great learning experience. Normally, I use WS_FTP95 for uploading, but it may not be for everyone. For the subscribers who are considering having their own website or are having problems uploading to an existing one, I would like to let you know about this very easy to use program for those familiar with the Microsoft Explorer. It works very much like the software you are used to using. It is FTP Explorer, a shareware program that is free. The URL is: http://www.ftpx.com/ Norma Jennings Listowner of Ialouisa Mailing List
