Hi Family, Emma...Thank you for your help with posting my message. When we get back with Uncle George I'll ask about William & Cary. I have been doing more research in the Stoddard area. George said there was family in the Dudley area. He also stated that there was an Ivester School house. I did manage to find a John A. Ivester that lived in the township of liberty & was a Union Soldier. I have not found any information on his war record yet. I also found a Jacob Ivester along with a J.W. & a B.F. Ivester. I found Jacob in court records. I don't know what this dispute was about but it was Dismissed. I found J.W. also in cout records. He and his wife (Susie) Divorced in August of 1936. A minor child was involved but there was no mention of a name. John A. Also Divorced his wife Jane in March 1889. There was no mention of children. B.F. was a witness and signed a will in May of 1900. So as you can tell I've found some roots. But as usual the digging is going slow. If anybody has any questions or comments or even ideas please let me know. Dawn __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
