Hi Rosemarie, I know you had sent your reply to Diane, but could you look up a name for me also? George Taylor Hess, born 1878, MO. (My grandfather) He may have been living with his father Dennis Hess, (1845, PA) Walker Twp, Pilot Grove, Moniteau Co, MO in 1900. I'm not sure when he left home. Possibly could have been in Iowa at that time, he married in 1907. Any help would be much appreciated. Joline
