Su, I wish oh how I wish we were looking for the same family. My John and Elizabeth both died in Mahaska County, Iowa. I think they had about 7 or 8 kids. My line was Henry who had about 6 kids from #1 marriage and about 6 from marriage #2 then his son John Henry had about 7 children of which my husband's grandmother was one.
