Gary, No problem. I'll let you know if I run across anything else. I also want to apologize for the way the names were listed. (In a long, long column.) I tried to "copy and paste" from the Excel worksheet, and didn't realize until I saw my message on the list that it didn't work. Still learning computer stuff, and didn't know I couldn't do that.

Dear Keith, This is a wonderful thing that you're doing and very much appreciated by everyone. The families I am researching are: PATTON: Huston Patton and Jane Price were married May 20, 1855 (2nd marriage for both) in Louisa County. Their son, born in 1856 in Louisa County, is my great grandfather. He was known as William by my family and on the 1900 Federal Census, as Francis W. on his marriage certificate and as Wilson on the 1860 and 1870 Federal Census. PRICE: Jane Price,as mentioned above, and 3 sons were living with the Joseph Brown family on the 1850 Louisa County census. BROWN: Joseph and Diantha - possibly Jane's parents? SPAFFORD: Jane Patton Spafford, sister of Huston, and Orleans Spafford lived in Louisa County. Thank you so much for all that you are doing. Debbie Henderson Deb19711@aol.com

Norma Thank you for your response. At this time, I don't see that there is a connection between our two JAMES families, but I will file this in my JAMES file for future reference. -- Who knows???

You say you have not researched the relative that supposedly joined the Mormons? You are in for a treat.... Start there at the nearest Mormon Family History Library.... They can help you if you haven't been there before. Lots of volunteers to show you where to look. I've been frequenting my local LDS FHL for over 15 years and haven't reached the point where I think I have all they have to offer. Try it... Shirley

Gary, I recently finished transcribing Louisa Co. census, 1856 Columbus City Township (which includes Columbus Junction), and still have the data on my computer, so did a quick search for a ROBERTS family, since you mentioned the family was here between 1853-1863. This is what I found: Age Sex Married Birthplace. David Roberts 47 M X Va. Sarah Roberts 44 F X Va. James Roberts 19 M Ohio John Roberts 18 M Ohio William Roberts 16 M Ohio Thomas Roberts 15 M Ohio Samuel Roberts 13 M Ohio Mary H. Roberts 12 F Ohio E. I. Roberts 9 F Ohio Ralph Roberts 6 M Ohio Rosanna Roberts 3 F Ohio no name Roberts F Iowa Hope this is of some help. Jan

I don't have any family connection with the GETTERT name, but I remember a Theodore Gettert, who lived near Wapello, in the 1940's, and 50's. My husband said he believes he had a son who lived in California, maybe Los Angeles. I could probably find out more about this, if you wish. Jan

Hi Norma, I hope I am doing this right. This is the first time I have replied directly to the List. Most of the time, if I pick up a look-up name, it is easier to reply directly to the individual. However, after reading the List for sometime now, I think I have been remiss in doing it that way, as others can also pick up information on any name they might be also researching. Anyway, here's my information: Janice Hoehle P. O. Box 103 Wapello, IA 52653-0103 E-mail: janleeh@netins.net Surnames: ASHBY, NOBLE, WINCE.

I would love to have the card file checked for anyone researching the surnames IDLE or GIDEON. __________________________________________ NetZero - Defenders of the Free World Get your FREE Internet Access and Email at http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html

Hi Gary In your search for the Hankins family, have you run accross the names McKeehan or Clevenger. The reason I ask, is that these three family names are all connected in my family tree. I will go thru the names you sent me and see if any of them appear in the info I have. It is possible we have two completely different families of Hankins that we are talking about. My wife should be getting out of the hospital today so it might take a couple of days to research this but I will get back to you. If you don't hear from me in a couple of days, give me another shout. Ron Garmoe PapaRG@aol.com

Ron Thank you for your response and your offer to share information. In response to your question of "what was my name of interest" -- Generally, I'm interested in filling in the holes of my tree, so the answer is, ... many. Particularly??? I am of the John1/Lewis2/Richard3/Ola4 HANKINS lineage. -- Ola (HANKINS) McMAHON of Muscatine Co. was my grandmother. I had a copy of the interments at Brockway that you sent, but perhaps you can identify the "F.G. HANKINS" that is listed for me. Was that the person I have recorded as George in the generation one column??? Brockway Cemetery Records, Muscatine County, Iowa Conesville (city), Orono Township, Section 9 surname given name year of interment inscription HANKINS Elizabeth 1867 w/o F.G. HANKINS Elizabeth 1899 w/o Timothy HANKINS Mary 1882 w/o John HANKINS Timothy 1896 The fist two generations of my lineage follow for your information and orientation. GENERATION ONE John Hankins b. 2/25/1794 d.10/15/1876 (died and buried in Wyandot Co, Ohio) married Mary Young b. 2/13/1802 d. 1/3/1892 (buried at Brockway Cemetery, Conesville) Children: Timothy Hankins b. abt 1824 d. 1896 Lewis Hankins b. 12/25/1825 d. 8/14/1892 (Tree fairly complete) Susan Hankins b. d. (I have been sent a fairly exhaustive tree on Susan.) George Hankins b. d. (I have nothing) Thomas Hankins b. 1/1/1831 d. 6/21/1875 (What you see is what I have.) GENERATION 2 Lewis Hankins b. 12/25/1825 d. 8/14/1892 married 3/22/1851 Francis A. Lee b. 11/10/1835 d. 8/27/1912 Children: Amanda Hankins (I have nothing.) Mary Hankins (I have nothing.) James Hankins (I have nothing.) Marian Hankins (I have nothing.) John Hankins (I have nothing.) John Hankins (I have nothing.) Richard W. Hankins b. 4/21/1853 d. 12/12/1933 Lewis' family I have a pretty good idea of, but until just recently, I didn't even know the others even existed, soooo I have a long way to go. I will certainly appreciate anything you, or anyone else on the list, can do to enlighten my ignorance of these lives who were so much a part of my history. Thanks in advance for your help.

Dear Keith, I, too, am glad to know that you are mending well. The Lord has answered many prayers for your recovery. 8-) The families in my lines from the Louisa County area are: PARSONS -- Joel C. Parsons and Caroline Joachim (Vergler?) Parsons were the parents of 8 children, all born in Wapello, Louisa County, IA. My great grandfather was Abram Hamilton Parsons. I have not been able to find any Parsons connected with this line. I am a subscriber to the PARSONS list for the last year and nothing has surfaced. Joel Parsons emigrated to Iowa from Washington County, PA in the 1840's (do not know the specific year). SIMMONS OGIER BENNINGTON EDGINGTON I think these are the lines that have been the most "interesting" to try to follow. The OGIER line is pretty much done as far back as I can go, so if there are others who have this surname in their line and need help, please contact me. 8-) Again, thanks for all you do/have done. We will keep you in our prayers for continued health! Willa Parsons Griffin rgriffin@ieway.com
