Hello friends, I am in search of information for William Runciman and his family. He came to Allen Township, Warren County, Iowa in the early 1850s. William and his family are buried in the Scotch Ridge Cemetery, Warren County, Iowa. William's wife was Elizabeth Hastie, whom he met while traveling to America from Scotland. She had several relatives settle in Warren County also. William's sister Mary Runciman Wood and her husband John Wood came with him and they too settled in Allen Township. William's mother, Mary Redpath Runciman, is supposedly one of the first to be buried at Scotch Ridge Cemetery. Any information on these early Warren County immigrants would be appreciated. Also, if anyone has access to a book, "History of Warren County" which was first published in 1879 and then republished by Unigraphics, Evansville, Ind. in 1979, I would be interested in the section on Allen Township and the Runciman, Wood, Hastie biographies it is supposed to have. Thnak you, Jere Runciman
