I have been researching in the Truro area lately. It has been awhile since I have seen any activity on the list. I have made several trips to Young and Hartman Cemeteries near Truro the past few weeks. I found a history of Truro in the Iowa Gen. Library in Des Moines. The obits on the Madison Co. site from the Truro library has help very much. I have added about 200 names to my files. I need to go back to the history of Truro and look some more. I have two Bradshaw brothers David and Wesley. I'm connected with Wesley. His daughter Barbara Bradshaw married John Steele. He is a brother of my G Grandfather William Steele. John and Barbara are buried in Highland Cemetery Eddyville Iowa Mahaska Co. The rest of Wesley's children seem to be buried in Hartman Cemetery. Wesley was born 1823 in PA or Ohio. Not real sure when they left PA and went to Ohio. He was the son of Edward and Nancy Patterson Bradshaw. They were born and married County Downs Ireland. Beleive to be buried in Ohio. I believe the oldest son was born in Ireland too. David was born 1817 Washington Co. PA. David married Mary Kale. Wesley married Peree Arnold 1844 in Ohio. David and Wesley came to Madison Co. 1854 from Tuscarawas Co. Ohio. Wesley and Peree had 10 children David b. 1845 married Martha Holmes Barbara b. 1846 married John Steele Mahala b. 1850 married Emery Robinson Nancy b. 1853 married John Fulton Rebecca b. 1856 married ???? DeLong William b. 1863 married Nancy ????? Drucilla b. 1864 Anderson Collins Luella b. 1867 married Farson not sure she buried by J.D.Farson his second wife maybe then she remarried ??? Foglesong or sang Harriet b. 1869 died an infant buried beside parents Florence b. 1871 married Frances Burt The article in Truro history gives the married names of the daughters. I think David married Martha Holmes. I don't know the maiden name of William's spouse Nancy ???????. I haven't checked marriage or death records yet. I have just put spouse together so far by visiting the cemetery. I have found all but Rebecca Bradshaw DeLong in Hartman Cemetery. I'm also connected to the children of Solomon Arnorld that lived in Madison Co. It get a bit tricky here because Peree is one of the children. Then a son of Solomon's David Arnold lived near Eddyville. He married a sister of my G Grandfather Eliza Steele. So just here the Arnold Bradshaw and Steele are really connected. The Arnold and Bradshaw (uncle and niece) marrying Steele brother and sister. Eli, Jacob, and Sarah Arnold came to Iowa about 1854. Eli married Julia Creger, Jacob married Mahalie Lathrum. Sarah married Thomas Swearingen. Thomas and Sarah went to Bellingham Washington in 1880. Eli and Jacob are all buried Young Cemetery. I have an article on the James Creger family from Truro history. Samuel Creger was his father. Samuel and Julia are brother sister parents are John and Mahala Moffatt (sp?) Creger. They also at Young. This article mention many families and surnames. Arnold, Swearingen, Creger, Robinson, Queen, Kale, Reed, Porter, White, Brown. Many burials in Young Cemetery with a few in Hartman. Will glad share any info I have. Will eagerly accept any info about any of the above families. Luella Bradshaw Farson Foglesong(sang) was a member of the Women's Relief Corp 1883. Could someone tell me what that. Another question. In the obits on the Madison Co. site I have noticed many (not just my family) from Tuscarawas Co. Ohio. They seem to come to Iowa about the same time. Was this by chance or design of a migration to Iowa plan. Richard Steele
