My Iowa ancesters were Beebe and Williamson. Beebe before 1650 was in Northamptonshire England. In 1650 with a family of seven children he set sail for New London, CN. He died on the trip over, but managed to write a will to his children. Two hundred years later he leaves his parents in Ohio and settles as a wagon maker in Lee and Des Moines County Iowa. There he married and a year later was in Shelby County where his children was born. He was the first elected sheriff of Shelby County. Williamson was an early settler in Indian country in New York just west of the colonial line. There he married and had children and finally went to newly opened Ohio territory. His son left as a young man and went to Council Bluffs, Iowa where he decided to stop. He married and had a family in several counties of Iowa before settling in Galland's Grove Township in Shelby County. He was a priest of the new organized LDS church In Shelby County. donkelly ----- Original Message ----- From: Greta Thompson <bluebear@new.rr.com> To: IOWA@rootsweb.com <Iowa-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sun, 1 Mar 2009 03:07:04 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [IOWA] Fw: ????
