Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11425 Surname: Yost, Hix, Criss, Shook ------------------------- We are also descended from Mary CRISS and John Lawson HIX, originally from Indiana and who had settled in Village Twp of Van Buren County in time for the 1850 Iowa Census. We also believe that your Jacob Criss is the brother of Mary Criss ... but have no conclusive proof. If you're interested in the info we have about Jacob, please contact us off list. Maybe by comparing notes we'll be able to make a connection. Gerry and Dodie in Arizona

Posted on: VanBuren Co. Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11423 Surname: Work, Workman ------------------------- Mary Elizabeth Workman came to Van Buren County, Iowa from West Virginia in 1863 when she was seven years old. She married Joseph Sidney Work, probably in the year range of 1875-1885. They had five daughters, named Virginia, Ethel, Lillian, Jennie, and Mamie. I would like to know what became of these Work children and who were the parents of Joseph Sidney Work. I have Mary Elizabeth's ancestors back to England in 1500. Lee Morse leemorse@prodigy.net

Posted on: VanBuren Co. Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11416 Surname: Hall, Patterson, Maddix, Giberson, Ruble, Ackey ------------------------- I hope to find the names of Joseph Patterson's parents, his place of birth and names of any sibling. Mary Ann Patterson Giberson is his daughter. Mary Ann's daughter is Mary Elizabeth Ackey. Another daughter of Joseph is Addie Maddix, her daughter is Mary Ruble. Do you have any information about Joseph Patterson, place of birth, date and place of death, or parents' names and any sibling. We think he had a brother Jacob. The family seemed to be in and around VanBuren County. He married Mary Elizabeth Hall in 1843 in Jefferson Co. Iowa. Any information is greatly appreciated as Joseph has been rather elusive. Mary Elizabeth Hall and 3 of her sons moved to Kansas but no mention is made of Joseph. One of her sons is my ggrandfather. Thanks for any help. Arliss
Posted on: VanBuren Co. Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11414 Surname: Patterson, Hall, Giberson, Akey, Brereton, Teeters ------------------------- Don't think there is a match unless Joseph was born in the South or had sibling who went South. Joseph Patterson (b. 1818 - place unknown) and Mary Elizabeth Hall (b.1815 or 1824 in Indiana) were married in Jefferson Co. Iowa in 1843. We are trying to find the names of Joseph's parents and any sibling. There are indications he had a brother named Jacob. Family rumor is that Jacob went South during the Civil War and was never heard from again. You didn't by any chance find a Jacob Patterson when you were researching Van Buren County or other surrounding counties. I will let you know if I find a Nathan. Thanks Arliss
Posted on: VanBuren Co. Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11412 Surname: White, Rose, Smith ------------------------- Is this the White family you speak of? If so this was my ggg grandfather and I have additional info. Obituary from the Mt. Pleasant Free Press, 21 June 1883: Mr. White was born in Hamilton county, Ohio, April 16th, 1811, moved with his parents to Indiana in 1819, from thence to Schuyler county, Ill. in 1820, and settled with his parents on the land on which Rushville, the capital of Schuyler county now stands, which his father entered and owned for some years. At the age of eighteen, he learned the trade of cabinet making, which trade he worked at for some years. Moved to Burlington, Iowa, in 1836, worked at his trade while there, helped make the furniture for the new State House after the old one had burned,-the capital being at Burlington. As a cabinet maker he was second to none. He removed to Mt. Pleasant in the year 1839. Here he worked at his trade for about one year, he then moved on to the farm owned since the year 1840.-Maried Mary A. Rose, a native of Kentucky, Oct 10, 1833. Had four children, two of whom survive him, Edward E., of Tippecanoe township, and Mrs. Mark Smith, of Jefferson county. He, with his father and brother, traveled over Iowa as early as the year 1835.-Has seen the Chief Blackhawk and family. While traveling throughout Iowa staked themselves claims on the Des Moines river, in what is now Van Buren county, but thinking that the country would never settle up so far west, never returned to their claims. He was a wise counsellor and a friend in time of need. In the year 1851 when the Asiatic cholera raged in Tippecanoe township, he spent his time day and night caring for the sick and burying the dead. By his gentlemanly bearing, his uniform kindness and noble generosity he created many warm friends. In all the elations of a husband, father, neighbor, citizen and friend, he discharged his duties with uprightness and fidelity. Over his family he watched with all the tenderness and solicitude of a kind father. He was a lover of education, greatly enjoyed the presence of children. He will be missed greatly by the children of the school which he visited while his health permitted. HIs death was caused by Brights disease. Has been an invalid for nearly five years, gradually growing weaker and weaker. He suffered much bodily pain but endured it with patience and fortitude. He had premonitions of his death and his firm faith in God caused him to look forward to his dissolution with hope, not with dread. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbors who deeply sympathize with the bereaved family. The loss his death has caused cannot be repaired Link: Descendants of Nathaniel White URL: <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cmlabath/nathanielwhite.htm>

Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11409 Surname: Rodgers ------------------------- I have seen several messages re: California gold rush but none about pikes peak. My great great grandfather John R. Rodgers(Rogers)a resident of Boneparte went to pikes peak @1859-1860 according to his probate records. I doubt that he traveled alone. Does anyone else have a relative that traveled there or know of an expedition from VB Co?
Posted on: VanBuren Co. Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11408 Surname: Kelley, Cole, Cooper ------------------------- I have what is at least a partial (typed ) journal of William Farrington Kelley , who lived in Farmington, and who left in 1849 for California , returning in 1850. I am asking our library for that book; but if you have read it, you might remember if Kelley was mentioned. He was my 2Gr grandfather. Isn't this exciting??

Posted on: VanBuren Co. Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11406 Surname: Patterson, Kelley, Randles ------------------------- Even though it is doubtful my Patterson matches yours, I can't resist a try. Nathan Patterson was born in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1840.(I THINK). His wife was Sally Randles from Seiverville, tennessee. Their son was John Quincy Adams Patterson and he lived in Decatur County and Ringgold County, Iowa, and also Missouri in 1860 and 1870. I research Van Buren county for my Kelley and Cole ancesters. But who knows? Those sturdy people traveled a lot!! So maybe a Patterson was over there. Thanks for your quiry. It got my heart going today!! Helen Brant hbrant@inreach.com
