Hi list, Thought I'd forward these to anyone researching family like mine who "gatewayed" through St. Louis. On the Cem. site just highlight all of them & type in your surname. If you find any kin you can click on their lot # & see all buried there. A handy way to get some extra names. The first site has limited counties listed & doesn't cover St. Louis.

Chapter 19 cont. From the History of Davenport and Scott County - 1910 COUNTY DIVIDED INTO ROAD DISTRICTS. The county was divided into eleven road districts; the first, second and third begin as follows: Road District No. 1, to comprise all the territory lying within the following limits:  townships 77 and 78, range 2 east, except the east tier of sections. Road District No. 2, the east tier of sections, townships 77 and 78 range 3, and sections 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, township 79, range 3. Road District No. 3, one half of township 78, and southeast quarter of township 79, range 3; the west tier of sections in township 78, range 4, and sections 19, 30, 31, township 79, range 4. Mathias Mounts was appointed supervisor of District No. 1; Otho G. McClain of No. 2; John Forrest of No. 3. Pools were ordered opened at the town of Parkhurst, and Martin W. Smith, Eleazer Parkhurst and Thomas C. Eads appointed judges. Polling places were also established for Clinton county, which was attached to Scott county at this time. Grand and petit juries were selected at this session, for the first term of the district court, the names of which are given on another page of this work. At the July session a two-mill tax was ordered levied on the real estate of the county, for opening and repairing public highways, and five mills for general purposes. The first travern licenses were granted at this session, one to Samuel Barkley in Davenport, and one to H. W. Higgins in Rockingham. November 12th, the commissioners met in Rockingham and adjourned to meet in Davenport, that town being declared the county seat, an election having previously been held for that purpose.  Only one of the three members went over to Davenport, and therefore there was no quorum, and the lone member adjourned. A special session was called for November 26th, at Davenport, the newly elected county seat.  Alfred Carter was the only member of the board.  B. F. Pike, the third member, was in Rockingham and would not honor Davenport with his presence; therefore, Mr. Carter on the principle that "if the mountain would not go to Mohomet, Mahomet would have to go to the mountain," adjourned to meet in Rockingham.  But little business was transacted other than granting licenses for taverns and ferries. In January, 1839, the board met again at Rockingham, no cause being assigned why they did not meet in Davenport.  The full board was present, including A. W. Campbell, whose resignation had never been acted upon, and was probably withdrawn.  At the annual election this year John Work was elected in place of B. F. Pike, whose term had expired. At the January meeting in 1840, Ebenezer Cook, the commissioner's clerk, was ordered to bring suit against John Litch of Davenport, for violation of the license law, Mr. Litch persisting in selling liquor without a license. At the annual election in the spring of 1840, the ticket favored by the Rockingham party for county commissioners was elected. At a special session of the board of county commissioners held March 25, 1840, a proposition was read from Adrian H. Davenport and John H. Sullivan in which they offered to build a courthouse and jail upon certain conditions. The commissioners made a proposition to A. H. Davenport and J. H. Sullivan, in which it was provided that in case of failure or non-acceptance, J. H. Sulliavan and A. H. Davenport were to convey 160 lots to the county which were to be sold and amout expended for the erection of a courthouse and jail.  The proposition was accepted. The commissioners' clerk was ordered to insert proposals for the erection of a jail in the Iowa Territorial Gazette, published at Burlington, and also to advertise the sale of town lots in four different newspapers, the sale to take place July 4, 1840.

Surnames: ACKERMAN, DEWOLF, SHELDON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Yl.2ADE/2358 Message Board Post: A message was posted a few days ago referring to the Dutch Reformed Church in Davenport during the Civil War. I've been looking for Sanford Ackerman who came from a long line of Ackermans active in the Dutch Reformed Churches in New York. Sanford has been difficult to research. Does anyone know anything about the DRC? Where records might be, if any? Is it still active? Sanford and his wives, Adelia Dewolf, Sara A. ?, and Eliza J. Sheldon, were in Scott County between 1841 and 1862 and very little has been found. Any help greatfully appreciated.

FIRST COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' COURT. The act providing for the holding of an election for the county seat on the third Monday in February, 1838, also provided for an election two weeks afterward for county officers, at which election Rockingham elected her candidates.  The commissioners elected were B. F. Pike, Alfred Carter and A. W. Campbell, with Ebenezer Cook for county clerk.  The first session of the Commissioners' court was held at the store of J. W. Higgins, in Rockingham.  The following are the proceedings of this first meeting: "Present - Benjamin F. Pike and Andrew W. Campbell. "The board proceeded to the appointment of a clerk. "Ordered - That Ebenezer Cook be appointed clerk to the board. "Ebenezer Cook having appeared in pursuance of his appointment, and taken the oath of office, entered upon his duties as clerk. "Ordered - That clerk take the necessary steps to procure from the secretary of the territory a seal for the use of this board. "Ordered - That this board do meet, at its April session, in the town of Rockingham. "Ordered - That Benjamin F. Pike be allowed $3 for one day's service as county commissioner. "Ordered - That Andrew W. Campbell be allowed $3 for one day's service as county commissioner. "Ordered - That Ebenezer Cook be allowed $3 for one day's service as clerk. "And the board adjourned to session in course." At the April session, 1838, the county was divided into election precincts, and polls were ordered open at Rockingham hotel, Rockingham, and Marmaduke S. Davenport, William Lings, Lewis Ringlesby, appointed judges of election; at Davenport hotel, Davenport, Ira Cook, John Forrest, Adam Noel, judges of election; at house of Caleb H. Gardener, West Buffalo, Elias Moore, M. M. Bosworth, James Williamson, judges of election; at house of Roswell H. Spencer, Pleasant Valley, Stephen Henley, Jabez A. Birchard, John Work, judges of election; at house of Thomas Hubbard, Elizabeth City, Josiah Scott, William Rowe, Daniel Hyers, judges of election; at house of Ezra Allen, Allens Grove, Lester Hines, John K. Spicer, Isaiah Hurlburt, judges of election. Christopher Rowe was appointed county treasurer, but failing to qualify, Ira Cook was appointed at the May term of the board, and at once entered into bonds and the discharge of the duties of the office. At this same session Ira Cook was appointed and qualified as assessor in place of Joseph Mounts, who had previously been appointed, but failed to qualify. The editor of the Iowa News, published at Dubuque, was allowed $6 for advertising an election to be held for the location of the county seat. At this session the board took it upon itself to regulate the price of ferriage across the Mississippi and Wapsipinecon rivers, the rates of which may be found in another chapter of this work.

PRESENT TIME. Several changes have been made since the organization of Scott county in its courts and the title of the office under which the county's business affairs have been conducted.  The first officials were designated as commissioners, who transacted the business for the county until 1851, when the office of commissioner was abolished and the affairs of the office transferred to the Probate court.  This court was superseded in 1861 by the County court and that branch of government ceased to exist in January, 1869.

Court adjourned at 6 o'clock p.m. till 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. ~~~~~ Released Prisoners-Their Treatment by the Rebels.-We have been handed two letters from released prisoners now at Nashville, one from Mr. O. K. Fluke, the other from Mr. John Rager, both of this county,--from these letters, by permission, we make an abstract of the adventures of the prisoners. They were made prisoners, as is known, towards the close of the first day of the Pittsburgh fight. They were marched across the field at the point of the bayonet to their camping place for the night, and reached Corinth next afternoon, and Memphis Tuesday evening. About 12 o'clock that night they each received two hard crackers, the first food they had had since Sunday morning.-From Memphis they went by railroad to Mobile, and thence to Tuscaloosa by steamboat, at which place they arrived on the 15th of April. They were treated tolerably well while on the cars, and were met by crowds of citizens, who were anxious to see "live Yankees." They remained at Tuscaloosa till May 15th. While th! ere, the ration to each man was a piece of corn bread, five inches long, two inches wide, and one and a half thick, every day; and small piece of boiled beef, or mule meat, a plate of beans, a cup of rice and three tablespoonfuls of molasses every other day. After they had "dwindled down to almost nothing," they were taken back to Mobile, and thence to Montgomery; where they were paroled. They then went east to West Point and Atlanta, and thence to Chattanooga, Tenn., where they remained a couple of days. Afterwards they took the cars to Bridgeport, on the Tennessee river, under a flag of truce, about thirty miles to the national lines. Mr. Fluke says, "I tell you there was then a set of glad boys: how we cheered and shouted when we saw the glorious stars and stripes!" Arrived at Huntsville, they got something to eat for the first time since they left our lines; the coffee, too, was very welcome, for they got none of it in the Confederacy, because as far as they know or could hear of, that interesting portion of creation hadn't any coffee, but used instead rye and wheat "coffee." From Huntsville they marched eighty miles to Columbia and there took the cars to Nashville. At the conclusion of his letter Mr. Fluke says: "I don't think the South can stand it much longer: they have not enough to eat. Their soldiers are living very poorly and they are pressing men into their army now. I have seen lots of rebel soldiers, who told me they were forced into the service." "They have neither silver nor gold at all, and instead use bills of from five cents to one dollar in each town; and they won't pass from one town to another." The following portion is the form of oath which the paroled prisoners subscribed: "I do hereby solemnly swear and pledge my most sacred word of honor, that I will not, during the existing war between the Confederate States and the United States of America, bear arms, or aid and abet the enemies of said Confederate States or their friends, either directly or indirectly in any form whatsoever, until regularly exchanged or released." ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann List Adm: *IA-CIVIL-WAR *IA-DANES ACC Scott Co, IA USGenWeb Project

Good morning. As most of you might know, Rootsweb is experiencing major technical difficulities. Lists2 is down. When Rootsweb upgraded their servers a while ago they put Lists7 with Lists2 so Lists7 is down too. This list is on Lists5 and we seem to be fine for the moment. It seems that at least 1/2 of the Rootswebs lists have lost all of their members. I just checked our utilities page and we are there. The "Scott Sisters" think there is more going on than just a server down so we are not sure we are going to post important information at this time. Yesterday I tried to get into our archives and they were gone. As soon as an announcement comes from Rootsweb, I will share it with this list. If we still have a list to post too. Have a great day everyone.

Someone asked me a number of good questions regarding the Gazette's Civil War conscription eligibility list. I decided to post the answers to the list in case others might have similar questions. I don't believe many newspapers published the names of eligible draftees, as a rule. At the point that this list was published, the union was still trying to avoid the very unpopular conscription by encouraging men to enlist. All able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 45 were eligible. No exemptions were made due to family size or ages of family members. I assume the Gazette probably took from the 1860 census, a list of all those men who fell in the age category of 18 to 45. Counties were assigned quotas of needed men. If a county could provide that quota (as determined by legislature) through enlistment, they did not have to draft men, or would only have to draft the difference. Many thought this quota system, and conscription in general was unfair, prompting several large "Draft" riots throughout the country. Counties offered bounties as rewards to men who enlisted. This practice was not devoid of problems. Men would hop from county to county, signing up and collecting the bounty money, and then skip out and head for the next county and another bounty. From what I've seen, Scott's bounties were very good compared to many others in the country. I'll be posting more articles addressing these issues. Various state rules exempted those afflicted with heart and lung disease, hemorrhoids or chronic diarrhea, hernia, 'loss or imperfect vision of the right eye'--presumably the rifle-sighting eye--loss of the front teeth and molars, or 'loss of more than one finger of the right or more than two fingers of the left hand.' Regarding deferments, if one was wealthy, or could somehow scrape up $300, he could legally buy his way out. If one could find a substitute to fight in his place, that was also allowed. All kinds of problems arose from these practices. Most folks could not come up with $300 and therefore, the Civil War was considered by many to be a "poor man's war." Although mental and physical disabilities could cause exemption, the substitutes were often discovered to be physically or mentally deficient, or many times they signed up and quickly "skedaddled." Men with occupations such as teachers, judges, telegraph operators, railroad engineers, skilled munitions workers in public arsenals and certain other government employees were exempt. Members of certain religious factions, such as Mennonites and Quakers, were exempt at first, but later on Congress passed a law that men of those faiths had to serve in non-combative roles, such as in hospitals, supply depots, etc. Hope this sufficiently answers your questions. If you have any more, I'll be glad to try to answer them. ~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann ACC Scott Co., IAGenWeb Project List Adm: *IA-CIVIL-WAR *IA-DANES

The Daily Gazette City of Davenport Monday Morning June 16, 1862 Part 2 Continued... Local Matters Recovering.-We were pleased to see Adj't George McCosh riding out yesterday. He has much improved under the judicious care of Dr. Gibson, but is still feeble. He will soon, however, we hope, be completely restored to health. Dead Soldiers.-The following deaths of Iowa soldiers occurred in the Keokuk hospital at the dates mentioned: June 11th, J. W. Guthrie, co. B, 15th regiment; 13, H. LeValley, Co. A, 17th regiment, and A. C. Scrivens, Co. A, 15th regiment. A Little boy from Davenport, named Wm. Grovenberry, was taken from the Kate Cassel* and sent home yesterday. Not being satisfied with his residence, it appears he took French leave. A telegram from his parents to the Marshal made the thing all right, however.-Muscatine Journal. More Cows Dying.-Mr. John A. Guy, of East Davenport, lost a fine Devon heifer a few days since from "bloat," or the swelling that follows eating white clover. We have heard of several others dying recently from the same cause. Although many sovereign remedies are known for this complaint, yet sometimes, as in this case, they die before aid reaches them. We should think some one would discover a remedy for a disease so common. Sick Soldiers.-Mrs. Wittenmyer, in a letter to the Soldiers' Aid Society of Keokuk, says, that owing to the distance necessary to transport the sick, the army being so far from the Tennessee river, none but those laboring under chronic difficulties will be removed, and it is the intention to send such cases as far north as hospital facilities will allow, 'Keokuk,' she adds, 'is put down for 1,000 and Davenport 800.' It may be that that hospital boat, so often referred to, may yet visit us. Proceedings of the Board of Education. Saturday, June 14, 1862.

The Daily Gazette City of Davenport Monday Morning June 16, 1862 Part 1 Sick and Wounded.-The steamer Empress left Pittsburg Landing on the 4th Inst., with five hundred sick and wounded soldiers on their way to different hospitals. Among them we find the following from Scott county companies, viz: D. Miclot, Co. B, 2d regiment; J. H. Woods, Co. B, 16th; and Wm. W. Gerden, Co. C, and L. W. Coleman, Co. E, 2d cavalry. Returned.-Rev. C. G. Vanderveer arrived on the eastern train Saturday evening. We are pleased to know that he is in good health, though he looks as if he had seen something of war, as he truly has. Mr. Vanderveer has resigned the chaplaincy of the Eight, and his resignation has been accepted. HE will now resume his pastoral charge of the Reformed Dutch Church of this city, where he will preach this morning at half past ten o'clock. A Davenport Soldier is Taken Prisoner and Escapes.-We make the following extract from a letter written by P. M. McGuire to his father, James McGuire, Esq., giving an account of his capture, forced travels in Secessia, and final escape from the rebels. Mr. McGuire belongs to Co. A., Curtis' Horse, and although a young man, is an old citizen of this place. His letter is dated Fort Hieman, June 5th. "I have arrived back safe to my company after nearly three months' imprisonment. I was taken prisoner at Paris, Tenn. On the 11th of March; from there was taken to Humboldt, from there to Memphis, from there to Columbus, Miss.; from there to a little town in Louisiana; from there to Mobile, Ala.; from there to Tuscaloosa, Ala.; from there I made my escape on the night of the 6th of May, after cutting my way out through a brick wall. I traded my uniform for a secesh uniform, and part of the time traveled as a Confederate soldier, and a part of the time I kept in the timber, killed young hogs and roasted them, and eat them without salt or bread. I finally got to our forces across the river from Decatur, Ala. Gen Mitchell's division; from there to Shelbyville by wagon train; from there to Louisville, by way of Bowling Green and Nashville; by cars from Louisville down the Ohio to Paducah, and up the Tennessee river by steamboat, and arrived here on the 3d inst." A Day for Runaways.-A span of fine bay horses attached to a wagon belonging to Robert Murray, came tearing down Second street Saturday afternoon and turned up Brady. Here they came in contact with a wagon belonging to Mr. Henley, which was upset and broken, the horses starting off on a race with the wheels. Next they struck the strawberry wagon of Mr. Munson and upset his berries. At the corner of Third street they were arrested in their mad career by a young man, who periled his life and lost his breeches in the act, and was afterwards rewarded by Mr. Murray with the sum of two dollars, which would scarcely replace the badly dislocated unmentionable. Henley's team is running yet, if not stopped, as they were making good time when last seen. Mr. Murray was not fined for his part in the transaction as he assured the Marshal he had left his horses hitched. Another team, belonging to Mr. Calderwood, started from opposite LeClaire Block, on Second street, Saturday afternoon, and dashed down that street at a flying rate. A person who undertook to arrest their progress was thrown down and narrowly escaped being run over. The team knocked down the lamp in front of the bank, which has been standing useless a number of years, but was soon to be used for illumination. The wagon of the U.S. Express Co. was run off with Saturday morning, caused by the horse taking fright, and the express messenger was thrown partly under the horse, but escaped without serious injury, though almost by a miracle. The horse was stopped before he had gone far. Continued... ~~~~~~*~~~~~~ Elaine Rathmann ACC Scott Co, IA USGenWeb Project List Adm: *IA-CIVIL-WAR *IA-DANES
