Does anyone have any information on this Civil War soldier? Don Woodley Researching Ayers, Butler, Cornford, Relf, Trindle, Woodley and others as time permits. RAOGK Lookups and pix for Bremer, Butler, Floyd & Franklin Counties in Iowa.

Don, Ancestry indicates his residence was La Porte City (Black Hawk co) and he was 19 when he enlisted in 1862. Could be 17 y/o son of Abraham & Rody Woodley in 1860 Bruce twp. Benton co. The P.O. serving that h/h was La Porte City. Dick May you live to be a hundred, with an extra year to repent!

Listed as an early settler of La Porte City (in John Hartman's "History of Black Hawk County, Iowa," pub. 1915) was Jacob Woodley, and among the veterans buried in the West View Cemetery in La Porte City, was J.A. Woodley. Kay Pease

Thanks to everyone for the rapid response to my question. Now another - I looked up Jacob (father is Abraham) Woodley family in LaPorte City IA & found them U.S. Census > 1860 United States Federal Census > Iowa > Benton > Bruce) And while I was checking that out noticed that the place of birth for Rody Woodley is what looks to be "Canida West". Never heard of that - then I noticed there are three others with the same POB - one on the same page near the top & two at the bottom of the previous page. Might this be Canada? And, if so, where is Canada West? Confused. ;-) dw
