Surnames: Dyer Cooper Nobel Rogers Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Yl.2ADE/34.1 Message Board Post: I have Coopers in my family who were from scott county Iowa and lived in Buffalo. They actually lived near Capel Hill named for the Asbury Church Chapel they attended. Chapel Hill cemetary is still there with Cooper's buried next to Dyers (my family is Dyer Cooper Nobel Rogers. The thing that caught my eye was the steamboat connection. My family had a coal mine (yes in Iowa!!) and also cut trees. It was said that they supplied the steamboats with fuel. Rockingham was the name of the city(now in Davenport) just below Asbury Church Hill. The cemetary is fenced andmaintained still and is located on Chapel Hill Road. If you are comintg off the bridge over the Mississippi going interstate 80 west it is the first left as you exit the bridge and then the first right on the road to Muscatine. Go kup the hill and the cemetary is on top of the hill on your left. You have to watch for it or you will miss it. Hope this helps./

I myself attended a typical one room (or two or three) room rural school in the fourties. Most rural children attended a rural school and would not have gone so far as Davenport to have attended grade school. They may have gone to Davenport to attended high school or college though since most rural areas, even into the laste fifties, went sent to Davenport Central High school. Rural schools were usually within a few miles of where a child lived. Most children would have been able towalk to school even though it may have been two or three miles.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Yl.2ADE/347.343 Message Board Post: Most immigrants landing in New York who went west either went by train (depending on the date) or via canal boat and river boat. At one time there was a canal that went thru upper Illinois. Some would have gone via canal and great lakes to chicago. If they left the boat and went directly to Iowa they usually already had kindred living in Iowa who helped them. If it tooks years to get to iowa they probably drifted west thru Pensylvania and then to Ohio to Illinois and then Iowa. Iowa was a territory for a long while and most did not come to iowa until after the Indian "trouble" was in hand. A good rule of thumb is to look at old maps during the "era" when your ancestors were traveling west. It will show you the land routes opened and what territories were being settled. They will also indicate the navaigable rivers and canals.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa Feb. 20, 1872 Police Court Nich Casey, an unfortunate person of he masculine persuasion, was up before the justice this morning, on a charge of disturbing the peace. He was fined $4 and costs, which he paid. A man named Viele was up on a similar charge. He also was fined $4 and costs which he will pay if nothing happens. Feb. 24, 1872 Police Court Two individuals who should know better, were up before Justice Peters today, for leading an immoral and profligate course of life. Their names are Sam Wallace and a woman named Lena Williams. They were discovered in disgraceful circumstances last night. As they were old offenders, the Justice fined Wallace $20 and costs and Lena $5 and costs. Neither could pay and will work it out cracking rock. Feb . 26, 1872 Broke Jail. The boy, Frank Hand, 20 years old, who was in jail for stealing an overcoat, some time last month, escaped from the stone yard, a day or two ago, and nothing has been seen or heard of him since. He was convicted of larceny in the Justices ' Court, and sent up to await trial at the District Court. The Grand Jury indicted him of grand larceny, but Hand, pleading guilty, a compromise was made, and instead of being sent to the penitentiary, he went back to jail for thirty days. He had worked out a good portion of his time, and had but sixteen days yet to serve. It was a bad move for him, as, if he is caught now, he will have a harder sentence to work out. Officers have been after him for some time, but it is believed he has crossed the river, and left for other parts. Feb. 27, 1872 Police Court. One George Brown, a colored man, was taken up for vagrancy, having no visible means of support. He was fined $5 and costs and sent up.

Davenport Democrat Davenport, Scott, Iowa Feb. 16, 1872 Davenport Percocity. Jimmy Watson, a juvenile Davenporter, and formerly a train boy on the D. & St. P., was brought before a Justice in Maquoketa, the other day, and charged with larceny, he having stolen a pocket book, containing $57 from Mr. DeGear, of that place. After having stolen this, he went to Chicago, but finding business dull there, he returned to this city, and was met by Conductor Axtell, who induced the boy to go to Maquoketa with him. Jimmy offered to disgorge what he had left, about $21 provided nothing was done with him, to which Mr. DeGear assented, and the money was paid over. In the meantime, Mr. Stiles, of the Midland House, had missed a revolver, a small amount of money, and a trunk belonging to one of the servant girls, all of which Jimmy acknowledged to have stolen, but which he said could not be restored, as he had given them to a friend. The boy was bound over for trial at the next term of the District Court, and will undoubtedly take up his residence at the Reform School. Feb. 17, 1872 The Courts. District Court. The Buffalo school district litigation was decided this morning in favor of the defendants. Sheriff Leonard this morning received by mail a pardon from the Governor of the State-pardoning John Heiser, who was convicted at this term of the court of the crime of forgery. In that he forged the name of J.M. Sellen to an attachment bond. He was sentenced to three months in the penitentiary, but on petition of the legal gentleman in the case, and other influential parties, full pardon was granted and he is not at liberty. Feb. 19, 1872 The Courts. Justice Court. The case of F. Deutschman against C. Graf, Christ Thus, John Russert, Xavier Ott, and Sebold Wherie for assault and battery is up before Justice Thorington this afternoon. J.D. Campbell and J.P. Dosh are attorney for Deutschman and W.H.

I have found that my great aunt Maria (Mary) Heesch married Claus Krohnke in Scott County in 1870. I cannot find any information about the rest of the family. Her father Steffen, mother Anna, sister Catharina and brother Claus H. were also there. On the 1880 census, I can find Claus and his mother Anna in Grundy county but no record of Steffen or Catharina. I have found Maria's info so she is no problem. There is a Katherine that married in Jan 1870 in Scott County- don't know if that is her or not. She married a Malchow and I cannot find them anywhere. Is there any way I can find out if Steffen died in Scott County? I don't have a birthdate and nothing comes up on the familysearch.org or ancestry.com. I only found him on a ship's list. He was born around 1803 , arrived in the states in 1869 and disappeared! Since the daughters and mother made it to Iowa, I think I can assume he did also. Just wondering if he died in Scott county. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Carol (Heesch) Abbott
