A number of his neighbors and friends who realized Mr. HEMBLOCK'S predicament kindly tossed aside their coats, left their own fields and rallied in the HEMBLOCK field where they worked hard and fast and in the evening had over 1100 by. picked. This kind act shows the gentlemen are all good neighbors who are willing to help an unfortuante one. Those who made up the husking party were: John and Thomas COONEY Jr., Thos.

I also found this in the "History of Whiteside County" by Bent/Wilson (1877), page 232, Historyof Hahnaman Township--Deer Grove: "The earliest settlers in Hahnaman were William Renner and family, who came from Pennsylvania in 1841, and settled at Deer Grove. Mr. renner died in 1859, at the age of 51 years, and was buried in Bureau county. He left eight children, five boys and three girls. Two of the former died while soldiers in the Union army....The widow Renner is still living in Hahnaman...." >From "A History of Whiteside County" by Bastian (1968), Hahnaman Township, page 271: "The first settler was William Renner and family. They made their claim in what was later called Deer Grove in 1841-1842. They remained for a while and then removed to Bureau County only to return to Hahnaman Township later."

Hi Debbie. No that doesn't make a connection with me, but then I am just starting with this side of the family. I will be going down to the Tama Co., Ia. Historical Soc. in a few days and will go back and see what I can find on Mary Hurd Hazard. I know she came out here from Whiteside Co. and they have very good histories on the people that lived in Tama Co. Since she was so well known in Tama, I am sure I can come up with something.

WOW - 19,000 acres near Lyndon would be the entire town and then some. The entire Township of Prophetstown (including Lyndon) is about 30,000 acres total. I see the IL records show he acquired 160 acres through a Warrant deed 16 May 1849.. 19,000 acres is a lot of dirt.. I checked the Riverside Cemetery and the Lyndon cemetery - no REW buried there..
