I am sending this request to both IA Wayne and IA Appanoose. I would like to know if anyone has access to the BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL RECORD OF WAYNE AND APPANOOSE COUNTIES. I live overseas, and don't have access, but if you do, could you look up on page 530 and 720 and 721. Those pages mention Dr. Jeremiah Brower. If you could be so kind as to copy what is said there about him, and email it to me? I would be so thankful. Thanking you very kindly, Lillian Kathleen Martin

I have reason to believe he was an ancestor of mine, but I can not find the link. Is it possible he had another child by the name of Allen? My g-g-grandfather was Allen E. Wright, born in Wayne County Kentucky about 1830. Do you know of any possible links? Your answer will be appreciated. Thanks

My grandmother, Bertha, arrived in Canada, from Augustenfeld (Muehlentalle), Poland in 1958. My father, also a Ferdinand, immigrated to Canada after WWI, in 1948. He is an only child.

I have a case of Mistaken Identity. My Emma Brower, who is the daughter of Dr. Jeremiah Brower and Nancy Weaver Brower of Lineville, had a daughter Pearl Daphne Wright on Dec. 15, 1880 in Wayne Co., IA Pearl is my GReat GRandmother. I am using her Family Bible as my guide in my research. She was raised in La Grande, Union Co. OR by her stepfather and mother. Her Mother's marriage there was in 1888, so Pearl would have been 8 yrs old at the time. She consistantly used her stepfather's name, MILLS, throughout her life, even her 1953 California Death certificate lists MILLS as her maiden name. Though she always freely acknowledged that her birth name was WRIGHT. It now appears from my research, that Pearl was most likely born outside of marriage, and that explains the use of another name. Pearl and her mother went to La Grande, Union Co. OR almost immediately after her birth in IA. Emma's mother Nancy W. Brower followed her daughter there in 1882, and died there in 1901. I hope I haven't shocked anyone with this news, but I have to face facts, and I might not EVER know the real father of Pearl. I have noted all the WRIGHT men living in Wayne Co. and especially in Lineville in the 1880 census. If anyone might know who the father is, please let me know. I believe this might turn into the Unsolved Mystery. Best regards to all researchers out there, Lillian Kathleen Martin
