An 1870 census says both his parents were born in VA. Nov 1840, Mickel md Mary- ann Hanner in Dover Twnshp, Athens, OH. Five children were born in OH after which the family moved to the Albia, Monroe, IA area and six more children joined the family. Both parents are named in deeds around Albia thru 1872. An 1875 agriculture census shows only GGrandpa and son Owen Mickel and my future grandmother Margaret Ellen "Ella". The Crawfords are also shown in this census and I have the marraige liscense for Jedidiah Crawford and Margaret Ellen. They had two living sons, Dad born in WI 1901, a move to Canada and then into OR. Grandmother died in 1924. At least one of the sons [George or Nathaniel] were in the Civil War. One, at 13 yrs a drummer & wounded. Does anyone have anything to add for my family? I'll very gladly share what I have. Thank you, Margrie
