Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/mA1.2ACIB/385 Message Board Post: I'm trying to figure out what happened to my 4G grandfather, Jonas Manary. His second wife was Elizabeth Sarah Menard, they were married 23 March 1843 in Morgan County, IL. They moved to Keokuk County, IA where they apparently had at least the following children: Muhala, Morgan, Sarah, Francis, and Maria (or possibly Mona, it's hard to read!) Jonas and his family are in Keokuk County in 1850, but then he disappears; I can't find a death or burial record for him in Keokuk or any of the surrounding counties. In 1860, Elizabeth is apparently married to an Isaac Alexander and living with him in Keokuk County, IA, but I can't find a marriage record in Keokuk or the surrounding counties. She's the same age, still illiterate, and the Manary children are living with them, so I'm sure it's her! I'm hoping that if I can trace Elizabeth Sarah Menard, perhaps through family records or legend since there doesn't seem to be an official record, that it will at least narrow down the what, when & where for Jonas Manary. Can anyone help? Sincerely, Stacey Hunter
