Hi! My 2nd great grandfather, Augustus Luther ANDERSON or HARVEY or ?, was born in Mineral Co. on March 27, 1852. In the fall of 1853 he came to Keokuk Co., Iowa at the age of 18 months. I am unclear as to who his birth parents are. He lived with the James HARVEY and Mary Jane Elizabeth JUNKINS HARVEY family. This couple was married in Mineral Co. on Sept. 22, 1833. . Augustus appears first on the 1856 Iowa State cenus listed living with the HARVEY's as Guster L. HARVEY (4), also living with them is Rachael FRIEND (14). On the 1860 census he is reported as A.L. ANDERSON (8), living with the HARVEY's, Jane ANDERSON (30), and Rachel FRIEND (18). He uses the ANDERSON last name on the 1870 and from then on it appears he adopted the HARVEY name. According to census records, Mary HARVEY never had children, although they seemed to have various children and teens living with them throughout the years (probably to help with the farm). Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. Also, could someone recommend the easiest way to obtain the birth certificates for children born in March of 1852 (in the event he was recorded...) Thank you!
