Vern, There is a John T. Stoneman who lived in Allamakee (in/around Postville) & Clayton co. (in/around McGregor) a search of Allamakee co. IAGenWeb & Clayton co. IAGenWeb sites each return 7 'hits': http://www.rootsweb.com/~iaallama/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~iaclayto/ Postville and McGregor are only a few miles apart, so I believe this is the same man. Iowa Old Press also has articles mentioning Hon. J.T. Stoneman: http://www.iowaoldpress.com/ (search either 'entire site' to get both Allamakee and Clayton co. articles) He is also mentioned on the Iowa History (IAGenWeb Special Project) site: http://iagenweb.org/history/hoi/HOI3Chp2.htm Good luck in finding more about Mr. Stoneman.
