I understand that they were Quakers from Orange Co., NC and then by 1850 moved to Clinton Co., OH. Sarah was buried in Spring Creek Friends Cemetery, and I assume she was also a Quaker. Records of the Quaker Meetings in that area of Iowa are not complete. Hope this helps.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Mingori Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fl.2ADE/1846 Message Board Post: I am hoping that perhaps someone could steer me in the right direction. I believe my great-great grandfather Giovanni (John) Mingori probably passed away while living in Mahaska County sometime between 1895 to 1897. He appeared with wife Mary and children Romilda & Francesco in the 1895 Census in White Oak. By 1897, his daughter was getting married in Kansas which would indicate a move south. But ther is no record of Giovanni/John in 1900 Census in either Iowa or Kansas. Is there someplace I can contact ther in Mahaska County to check to see if there are any death records? He was a 60-year-old coal miner in 1895. That certainly is a full life expectancy for a digger.
