The first was a daughter of Benjamin Ryun and Nancy Callendar, born November 9, 1825 in Fayette Co., OH. The second was Ida May (or Mae) Ryun, daughter of John M. Ryun and Polly Clark. She was born May 7, 1866 in Wayne Co., IA. She married William Dawson. I'm sorry, I don't know of any Eldred or Jack Ryun, but I will ask my mother-in-law if she remembers anyone by that name. She was born in Des Moines in 1938. Her father, Theodore Ryun, might have been a cousin to your father. Theodore died in 1945, and is burried at the Masonic Cemetery in Des Moines. Hope there is something helpful for you here. Good-luck.
