Hi John & Nancy, If you go to the Madison County website, go to the cemetery list, then click on any of the cemeteries that are highlighted, it takes you directly to the cemeteries for Madison County and you just click on the one that you want to research. The main address for the cemetery website is: http://www.interment.net/ If you go to the main page of the site, click on United States, 2nd page click on Iowa, third page Madison County, then select the cemetery you want to search. If you have any trouble, just let me know.

One of my Madison County relatives, William T. H. Berry, married Martricia Greer in Marion County, IN in 1835. They moved to Madison County with the rest of the tribe around 1854. Could this be the source of your Greers? Usually many relatives traveled together.

Hi Joy, Well, Solomon and Catherine Bishop married on November 11, 1866 in Warren County, Iowa, which is directly east of Madison County. I don't show either of them listed in the two burial indexes for Madison County, but that doesn't always mean a lot. Let me do some more checking and I will get back to you.

Hi Lynne, In some of the probate records, I found the following information on Andrew H. Bertholf - don't know if it the same Andrew that you wanted info on, but here goes: Andrew H.

Hi Glenn, Thanks for contributing your information. I found the marriage of an Isaac Clanton to Lorana Smith, March 27, 1834 in Morgan County, Illinois, just in case you don't already have the rest of the information.

My earliest ancestor to arrive in Madison County is: Thomas WILSON Lived in Bridgeport, Indiana until 1857, moved to Earlham, Iowa. Arrived in family carriage with his wife and two daughters. Sons came with loaded wagons and 20 sheep and forty cattle. About 1863 the historic "grout house" was built. A light was placed in the cupola at night to serve as a guide for travelers. This home was a way station for the underground railroad of slavery days. "Uncle Tommy" also served his fellow men as doctor, using native herbs as medicine. Thos. WILSON was my 3xgr-grandfather. His wife was Ruth BARNETT. ch: Barnett, Huldah, Margaret, Seth, Jesse, Christopher, Charles C., Tamar, John, Martha, Ruth, Jane. (Time frame for births: 1835-1855) Barnett WILSON was my 2xgr-grandfather. He married Thamsen HAINES in Guthrie County in 1864. Their children: (all born in Earlham, Madison County) Nellie Jane, Ida Mae, Elizabeth R., Mary Ann, William J.(time frame for births: 1865-1876. Nellie Jane WILSON is my gr-grandmother. She was born in Earlham in 1869, married in 1887 in Dallas County to James A. HORTON, and moved to CA in 1906. All their children were born in Earlham: Emma Madge, Ner Barnett, Clifford Jacob, Harry Howard, Claire Wilson, James Edgar. I have a good deal of information on my direct line, but would love more data on the collateral lines, and will share anything I have for those whose "brick wall" might link to any of the above lines.

Hi again, Forgot to mention that I think Nancy remarried to a Mr. Rhodes/Rhoades. Don't know where or when, but a Nancy appears in her father's will as Nancy Roades, so I am "assuming" that is my Nancy. Please add this to the other Wight/Hamilton/Ralston/Smoot/Rhodes info I just sent. Thank you, Judy jlwight@northlink.com
