Ia Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ia/VanBuren/11323 Surname: HARWOOD ------------------------- According to the 1860 census, that is posted on the Van Buren Co website in case you haven't checked it out, it shows Jane Harwood had several siblings. Her parents were Thomas and Mary Harwood. Charles is one of their children also and he was b Ca 1848 in Ohio and a possible clue, one brother James was an attorney. Maybe the father Thomas had a brother Charles. They definitely could be related. That is as far back as I have traced that line. Hope it helps a bit with your deduction.
