Baker (age 26), Leora A. Baker (age 18), Amelia Parker (age 17) and Ada Parker (age 14).   Note:  from the 1860 census I suspected that Leora's maiden name was Parker.  I backed up to the 1850 census and I did find Leora A Parker in Eaton, Madison County, New York, with family Samuel Parker (age 43), Emeline Parker (age 35), Leora A. Parker (age 9), Amelia A. Parker (age 7), Cornelia A. Parker (age 4), Elias Parker (age 2).

(age 5),  There were also several boarders in the household. Leora A Baker (born 15 Aug 1841 NY died 25 Nov 1907, Iowa) is also buried Oakland Cemetery (same lot as Edward P. Baker).  

According to the Pension Index Records Edward P. Baker served with Company C., 27th Iowa; Company A, 2nd Alabama Colored Infantry and Co. K, U.S.C.H.A. 

I made contact with a descendant of his sister (Henrietta) who says his parents were Davis Baker 1791 NH-1842 New Hampshire and Hannah Church 1794 NH-1843 New Hampshire. She said he was buried in Oakland Cemetery, Buchanan County, Iowa.  Since the children were rather young when their parents died, most of the children went in different directions. They were originally from Campton, Grafton, NH. Edward's brother, Elihu, married Leora's sister, Adeline, and lived in South Carolina. One sister remained in Campton, NH, another was in Eldora, Hardin Co., Iowa by 1856, a brother lived in Washington, D C, another in Massachusetts, brother Henry and sister Henrietta to Ventura, CA. Henrietta is part of her husband's direct line.

1850 Census in Geneva, Ashtabula, Ohio:  James H. Bray (age 63), Marinda P. Bray (age 58), Asa M. Bray (age 29), Oliver Bray (age 27), Harvey Bray (age 22) and Betsey Ann Bray (age 19)

1856 Iowa State Census in Byron, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Marinda Bray (age 63), A. M. Bray (age 34), Oliver Bray (age 32) and Harvey Bray (age 27).

1860 census in Byron, Buchanan County Iowa:  Miranda B. Bray (age 68), Harvey Bray (age 31), Asa Bray (age 39) and Oliver Bray (age 36).

1870 Census in Benona, Oceana County, Michigan:  Oliver Bray (age 47), Betsy Bray (age 38), Franklin Bray (age 12), Cornelia Bray (age 10), Adda Bray (age 8), Marshal Bray (age 6), and Asa W. Bray (age 49). 

Note:  I would not assume from the 1870 census record that Betsey is his wife. Unfortunately the 1850 and 1870 census do not show relationships, so I cannot determine for sure whether she was his wife or another relationship.  But I suspect she is his sister.   Find a Grave lists a Betsey Ann Bray Meyers - in the same cemetery plot as Oliver, Asa and Harvey.  I looked for Betsey Meyers in 1860 and found this family in Liberty, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Peter Meyers, age 34, Betsey A. Meyers (age 29, born Ohio), Martin L. (age 4), Franklin M. (age 2), Ellen C. (age 6 months) and a Mary Baker (age 10).  Note that the ages of Franklin and Ellen C (Cornelia?) match the two oldest children's ages in the 1870 census. I think this is Oliver's married sister.   Of course, there could be other explanations also (including the Betsey in 1850 and the Betsy in 1870 are two different people).  But I do note that in the 1880 census, Oliver is listed as single (not divorced or widowed). 

1880 Census in Benona, Oceana County, Michigan:  Oliver Bray, (age 56, single), his brother Asa W. Bray (age 59, single)

He filed for a pension on June 11, 1887 in Michigan.

Oliver Bray died March 15, 1893 and is buried in Mount Hope Cemetery, Shelby, Oceana County, Michigan (source Headstones Provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans). Historical Collections by Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society has the same date of death as well as the death of his brother Asa just a few days later (March 24, 1893).  Note:  Find a Grave for Benona Township Cemetery lists an Oliver Bray died March 16, 1893, (age 21).  It also lists an Oliver Bray with no dates.   A note says:  On the same stone as Asa, Harvey, Oliver Bray and Betsey Ann Bray Meyers.  Find a Grave also lists Asa Bray, died March 21, 1893, (age 23).  I suspect someone had a hard time reading the information on the tombstone.  Mount Hope and Benona Township cemeteries appear to be two different cemeteries, but I only found one Oliver and Asa Bray in Benona in 1880.  I can't explain the discrepancy between the Headstones Provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans and the Find a Grave website.

1910 Census in Malibu, Los Angeles, California:  (again, I am assuming in the Soldiers Home):  Daniel L. Brisbin, Inmate, male white, age 65, divorced, born Illinois

He was in the U.S. National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers in Sawtelle, Los Angeles California.  The Military History and Domestic History were pretty much identical to that above except for the Disabilities When Admitted to the Home:  chronic diarrhea, alternating with constipation and producing piles.  The Home History shows a couple of more admits and discharges. 

Date of Death was 5-7-19.  I had initially interpreted that as May 7.  But the US Veterans Gravesites shows his death as July 5, 1919 and buried in Los Angeles National Cemetery, Section 38, Row I, Site 6.

1885 Iowa State Census in Arlington, Fayette County, Iowa:  Loren D. Carpenter, (Fairfield Street, Age 49, manufacturer, born New York), Mary Carpenter (age 41, born Mass.), Carrie B (age 18), Charles R. (age 18), Arthur J. (age 13). 

Lorin D. Carpenter died Feb. 19, 1887 and is buried in Madison Cemetery, Buchanan County, Iowa.  His widow Mary Carpenter filed for a pension on May 7, 1891.

Mary Carpenter was on the 1900 Census in Fayette, Fayette County, Iowa:  Mary Carpenter (born Apr, 1843, age 57, widowed, 4 children born 3 still living, born Mass, father born Ireland, mother born Maine), Son-In-Law Alfred Whitney, age 43, Landlord), daughter Carrie B. Whitney (born Sept. 1856, age 33, married for 2 years.) There was also a Kate Smith (age 17) and May Andrews (age 16), in the household as lodgers.

The 1925 Iowa state census shows the names of the parents, so I searched for Lorin and Mary's children. (I was looking specifically to determine Mary's maiden name).   I found an A. J. Carpenter (age 53, father L. E. Carpenter (born New York) and Mary Andrews (born Mass. age 81, married in Iowa).  I strongly suspect this is Arthur J.

I also found a Mary Carpenter in Fayette, Fayette County, Iowa. (age 84 father Mathew Andrews (born Ireland) and mother Margeatt Welch (note ancestry.com has Mich, but I think that was their best guess) (born Maine).  With the information on the 1900 census, I am sure this is the same Mary that was married to Lorin Carpenter.

I found a family tree online that shows Mathew Andrews born June 20, 1815 in Castletown, Ireland, died July 1857.  Margaret Welch born March 7, 1818 in Calais, Maine, died Jan 7, 1895.  This family was on the 1850 Census in Lunenburg, Worcester, Mass.  Mathew (age 39) and Margaret (age 33)  with children: Mary (age 7) , Richard (age 5) , and William (age 4).  They were on the 1856 Iowa State Census in Bufallo, Buchanan County Iowa: Mathew Andrews (age 42), Margaret (age 38), Mary (age 13), Richard (age 11), William (age 9), Lewis (age 4) and Emma (age 1)

Jakway (born May 1856, age 44, married 13 years, 1 child born, 1 living), son George Jakway (born Oct, 1870, age 29, day laborer), son Harry, (born Apr. 1885, age 15), son Ralph (born April 1893, age 7),

1910 Census in Madison, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Gustave H. Jakway (age 64, married 2 times, currently for 22 years, salesman (?), 9 months not employed), wife Mary I. Jakway (age 53, married 1 time currently for 22 years, 1 child born, 1 still living), Son Ralph R. Jakway (age 16), Alford E. Jakway (age 40, divorced, laborer - odd jobs), son Albert E Jakway (age 40, widowed, stone mason)

1915 Iowa State Census:  G. H. Jakway, white, married, can read and write, years in Iowa: 62, County, Buchanan, P. O. Lamont, retired farmer, Education: 4 years common, 2 years grammar, 1 year high school, 1 year college, Born Illinois. Military Service: Civil War, Infantry, State Iowa, Regiment 27, Company C., father's birthplace: Vermont.  Mother's birthplace: Vermont.

1920 Census in Madison, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Gus H. Jakway (age 73, retired), wife Mary I. Jakway (age 62), son Albert E. Jakway (age 48) and son Alfred E. Jakway (age 48).  (Note: ancestry.com has his first name indexed as Geo.)

1925 Iowa State Census: (Note this census shows parents names, including mother's maiden name):  Gustavus H. Jakway, (age 79, married, father George A. Jakway; mother: Matilda Preble), wife Mary I. Jakway (age 69, married, father: Lorenzo R. Ward, mother: Clarinda Hewitt), son Alfred E. Jakway (age 53, single, father: Gustavus H. Jakway; Mother: Mary I. Ward.)

Note: the 1925 Census raised some questions for me:  1.  There is a family tree that shows that Gustavus was married to two women named Mary. (Mary Ward and Mary Freeman)  He supposedly married Mary Ward in 1867.  I assumed she was the mother of the first children born.  The Mary that he is married to in 1900, & 1910 said both times that she had 1 child born.  I assumed it to be the youngest child Ralph.  However, on the 1925 census, Mary says her maiden name is Ward and Alford says she is his mother.  The only thing that would make sense to me if if Alford had considered her his mother for so long that he listed her instead of his biological mother.  And possibly the family tree that I found had the wrong marriage year for Mary Ward. (according to Census Records he married Mary Ward around 1888).

1930 Census in Madison, Buchanan County, Iowa: Gustavus H. Jakeway, (does not live on farm, age 84, married, age 22 at first marriage, occupation: Justice of the Peace, was in Civil War.) Wife Mary Jakeway (age 73, age 31 at first marriage). There was also an Alice Eddy in the household (age  72). I could not read the relationship. (according to this census information, he would have first married in 1868.  She would have first married in 1888).

Gustavus H. Jakway died April 26, 1936. He is buried in Madison Cemetery, Buchanan County, Iowa (Comments: add 1, lot 127, Co. C 27th IA Inf. Vol. Mary L. and Ralph R buried on this lot.)  His parents George A. Jakway (Oct. 7, 1819 - March 18, 1891) and Matilda (Apr. 21, 1822 - Dec. 7, 1862) are buried in this cemetery also.

Several generations of Gustavus M. Jakway’s genealogy can be found at:

1850 Census in German, Montgomery County, Ohio:  Aaron Jewell (age 25, carpenter), Susannah Jewell (age 24), Mary J. Jewell, (age 4), James Jewell (age 2), John Jewell (age 0), Catherine Hamilton (age 9).

1860 Census in Jefferson, Buchanan County, Iowa: Aaron W. Jewell (age 36), Susanna Jewell (age 34), Mary J. Jewell (age 14), James E. Jewell (age 12), John W. Jewell (age 10), Phebee M. Jewell (age 8), Hannah E. Jewell (age 6), George F. Jewell (age 3), and Chas A. Jewell (age 1).

1870 Census in College, Linn County, Iowa:  Listed with many other as "Students at Weslyn College, Western, Iowa": James E. Jewell, age 21.

1880 Census in Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa:  James E. Jewell (age 31, lawyer), wife Mahala Jewell (age 26), son Fred Jewell (age 8), son Jed L. Jewell (age 4).  There were two boarders living with them:  John Kirk (age 25), and Clara Dwey (age 20).

1885 Iowa State Census:  Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa:  James E. Jewel (age 37, Real Estate?), Mahala (age 31), Fred (age 12), Jed (age 10), Ray (age 3).

He filed for a pension on Sept. 23, 1890 in Iowa.

1900 Census:  Washington, Buchanan County, Iowa:  James E. Jewel, (born Oct. 1846, age 53, married 29 years, Lawyer), wife Mahala (Born Feb 1854, age 46, married 29 years, 4 children born, 4 still living), son Ray (born Jan 1882, age 18)daughter Tillie, (born Dec. 1875, age 24), Daughter Helen, (born March 1890, age 10) -- (Note, this does not match the 1880 and 1885 census.  There was no daughter on either.  Also, if you count the three boys in 1885 and the two girls in 1900, Mahala should be the mother of 5.  Is one of them not their biological child?  Tillie is single, so she is most likely not a daughter in law.  But given her age and the fact that she did not appear on the two earlier census records, I would assume that, if any of them were not their biological child, it would be her.  (His obituary also mentions only 4 children). ejj

1910 Census: Fort Morgan, Morgan County, Colorado: James E. Jewell, (age 63, married 49 years, Lawyer), wife Mahala E (age 56, married 49 years, 4 children born, 4 still living), Daughter Helen M. (age 20, born Iowa).  (Married 49 years is not a typo, but I believe the years married is off by 10 years. They said 29 years in 1900 - so in 1910 it should have been 39 years.  If they had been married 49 years, Mahala would have married at age 7).

1930 Census: Fort Morgan, Morgan County, Colorado: James E. Jewel (age 82, married age 23 at first marriage, Lawyer, own office,  Veteran, Yes Civil War) Wife Mary S., age 61, first married at age 51), servant Agnes M. Bowen (age 64).

David Jewett died Jul 2, 1863 and is buried in Memphis National Cemetery, Memphis, Tenn.  Section A, Site 1765

He married Hepzibah Anna Joyce (Apr. 14, 1834 - Apr. 21, 1887).  She was the daughter of James Joyce (1812 0 Feb. 22, 1899) and Caroline Tyler.

Johnston (age 20),  Matilda Henderson (age 17, servant), brother John W. Johnston (age 13) and sister Jennie Johnston (age 8). (Note this census record looked a little odd to me.  The Johnston's were the first family on the first page.  It started with family 61, on page 9 and  it was the first page of the census record.  Did the page that David would have been on, get skipped??)

The paragraph below was in a biography for R. C. Riekelfs on the Buena Vista County Website.  His daughter married the son of David F. Johnston: 

1885 Iowa State Census: Sioux City, Woodbury County, Iowa: David Johnston (age 53), Hephzibah Johnston (age 51), Frank Johnston (age 20), Annie Johnston (age 15), Jane Johnston (age 13).

In 1900 I found a David F. Johnson in a Missouri Federal Soldier's Home.  In 1910 I found a David S. Johnston in the Iowa Soldiers' Home in Linn, Marshall County, Iowa.  I don't have proof that it is him, but in both census years, the age, and place of birth fit.  He was listed as widowed on both census years.  I did not find any other census records that fit.  Given that he was a veteran, I think it is highly likely that it is him.

Iowa Civil War Soldier Burial Records show that David F. Johnson, IA 27 Inf C, born New Brunswick Canada, died June 29, 1911 and is buried in Storm Lake Cemetery, Buena Vista, IA.

The information below was on the Jefferson, New York website. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nyjeffer/childcha.htm . I note a few things that are different from the records from the 27th.  1.  Unless he was in another unit before he joint the 27th Iowa, he could not have been in the Battle of Shiloh.  2. It says below he died from wounds received.  The roster says he died of disease.  3. The information below says he is buried in Wilna, Jefferson County, NY.  The Roll of Honor says he was buried in Mississippi River National Cemetery, Memphis, Tenn.  Section 2, grave 334.  However, it is possible he was moved after the war. I'm not trying to say the information below is incorrect, it is just different from what was reported in the official records of the 27th Iowa. ejj.

William (should be Willard) H. King enlisted in Co. C, 27th Regt. Iowa Vols., October 3, 1862. He was severely wounded in the battle of Shiloh, and died in hospital a few days after from the effects of his wounds. He was also in the service in Minnesota, when the Indians were so troublesome there. He married Jerusha Armstrong, of Wilna, by whom he had three children, namely: Susan M., of Carthage; Frank E., deceased; and William O., of Champion. William O. married first, Elva E., daughter of E.J. Pennock, and by her had two children, William H. and Elva E., both of whom are deceased. He married, second, Adelia E. Forsythe, of whom he has a son, Frank W.

Norman J. Fuller, son of Jacob, was born July 26, 1830. In 1867 he married Mrs. Jerusha A. King, daughter of William J. Armstrong, of Wilna, and located in this town on the farm of 300 acres on road 11 now owned by him. Mrs. Fuller had three children by her first husband, Willard King, namely: William O., who resides in this town; Susan M., who resides with her stepfather; and Frank E., who died in Carthage leaving a widow and one son. Mr. and Mrs. Fuller had three children, namely: Alfred N., a clerk for O.S. Levis, of Carthage; and Ella S. and Emma J., who reside with their father in Carthage. Mrs. Fuller died February 18, 1872.  (Note I found a family tree that listed her as the daughter of  William John Armstrong (born Dec. 15, 1801 in Norwich Twp. Windsor, Vermont) and Myriah S. Smith (born 1807 In Norwich Twp. Windsor, Vermont)  http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2895346&id=I14954  In 1850 she was with her parents and siblings in Wilna, Jefferson County.

NOTE:  I found the information below in the only family tree online that contained an Abraham Littlejohn, born 1833 in Ohio.  It appears to me that it could be the right family.  If so, the information would be about his brother James with limited information regarding his parents. http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/7935411/person/-721869569

Throughout the greater part of his life James Littlejohn resided in California, and for about fifty years was a resident of Sutter County, where he established a wide circle of friends and became a large landowner, owning at one time over 500 acres of fine land.  He came to the county without means, and for several years was obliged to work for others in order to secure the capital necessary for starting out alone. He was born in Columbus, Ohio, October 15, 1835, being a son of James and Julia (Baylor) Littlejohn, natives of the same State as himself.  His father learned the shoemaker’s trade, which he followed until his death, at about twenty-four years of age.  Soon after he died, his widow moved to Indiana with her sister and brother-in-law; and there she died, leaving her two sons, Abraham and James, to the care of her sister. At the time of his father’s death, James was only seven months old; and when his mother died, he was but two and a half years old.  From that time he made his home with his aunt, moving with her family to Fulton County, Ill., in 1844, and thence accompanying them to Bremer County, Iowa, in 1855.  At the age of twenty-one he returned to Columbus, Ohio, where his grandmother gave him $190, this being the only money he had ever received other than from his own labors.  With his brother he returned to Iowa; and for a year he was employed as a clerk in a grocery at Dubuque, and later on a farm. 

In the spring of 1859, Mr. Littlejohn left Iowa with ox teams and followed the overland trail across the plains to California via Salt Lake and the Humboldt River route.  Arriving in Sutter County, he worked on a ranch and at teaming for several years and then bought a squatter’s claim in the Slough district.  When the land came into the market, he purchased it from the government, and there he remained from 1862 to 1879.  During the latter year he purchased 160 acres of the James Gray homestead; and here he erected a house, barns and other buildings needed for the storage of grain and shelter of stock.  In all of his labors he had the cooperation and counsel of his wife, who was Helen D. Butler, a native of Ohio, born near Cleveland in 1847.  They were the parents of nine children, as follows:  Charles Edward, of Manteca; Julia E., the wife of D. D. Greene, of Yuba City; James Abraham and Howard G., ranchers in the Barry district; William P., living in Oregon; George W., of Yuba City; Lottie, the wife of V. W. Cooley, a prominent rancher of Sutter County; and Laura, now the wife of John Cope, and Chester, both living in this vicinity.  There are twenty-six grandchildren and three great grandchildren in the family circle. 

Mr. Littlejohn passed away on December 8, 1908.  He was a stanch Republican in politics. Fraternally, he belonged to Enterprise Lodge No.70, F.&A.M., at Yuba City, and with his wife was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star.  Since his death his widow continues to manage the ranch business.  Recently she subdivided the home place, retaining thirteen acres and the residence; and there are now in the tract three families who have built fine homes and have developed orchards.  Mrs. Littlejohn is the eldest daughter of a family of five children born to Ed and Charlotta (Baker) Butler, natives of Ireland and Ohio, respectively.  Ed Butler crossed the plains to California in 1852 and engaged in mining with considerable success.  He returned to Ohio and brought his family to California in 1859, and located on a ranch ten miles southwest of Yuba City, where he bought 320 acres and farmed to grain.  Later he removed to Yuba City and conducted the Sutter Hotel.  He passed away in 1893, while his wife survived him until August 18, 1913, aged eighty-six years.  Mrs. Littlejohn is a charter member of the Eastern Star at Yuba City.

I also found this post on the Littlejohn Genforum:   My great, great grandfather is Abraham Littlejohn who was born in Columbus, Ohio, August 18, 1833. He spent his younger days in Ohio and then traveled to Independence as one of the early settlers in 1857, two years before the Illinois Central railroad was built into town. Abraham was in the Union army during the Civil war, the Twenty-seventh Iowa infantry. Abraham and his wife, Ellen Cain Littlejohn, were the parents of seven children, two of whom died in infancy. A daughter, Ida, James Otis (my Great-grandfather), Frank, Spencer, Indiana, William C. and Miss Harriet. Abraham died at 92 in 1925.

Walter S. Munger died Nov. 8, 1862. He is buried in Old Oakwood Cemetery, Anoka, Minnesota.   Note:  I also found information on Ancestry.com indicating that he was buried at Oran Cemetery,  Oran, Fayette County, Iowa, Lot 41. Additional notes said that on the same lot was son Walter S. Jr. Died Jan 12, 1888 at Hanover SD, perished in a storm. (Source was WPA - Work Projects Administration 1930's Graves Registration Survey Possibly one of the sites is a memorial site.  The tombstone photo is from Anoka, Minnesota.

His widow Mary S. Munger filed for a pension on Dec. 30, 1862.

1885 Iowa State Census: Fairbank, Buchanan County, Iowa: Mary E. Munger (age 52), William H. Munger (age 27), and Walter S. Munger (age 22).

The 1925 Iowa State Census shows parents names.  I searched for anyone whose father was Walter Munger and mother was Mary.  I found Grovener V. Munger in Hazelton, Buchanan County, Iowa: age 63, father was Walter Munger, born New York and mother was Mary E. Preble, born Indiana. His parents were married in Iowa.  Between the 1880 Census and the 1925 census, I have concluded that Mary E. Munger's maiden name was Preble.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this:  Source: Headstones provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans: "Walter S. Munger, Private Co. C. 27th Regt, Iowa Inf. Cemetery at or near Anoka Minn.  Date of Death: October 1, 1892."  The date of death in this source is 30 years after the date of death reported in the roster (and confirmed by census records).  I'm assuming the date of death on this source is an error. But I can also see other possibilities.

Source: History of the Town of Pittsford Vt. With Biographical Sketches and Family Records

Luther Nourse, son of Ebenezer, was born in Fitzwilliam, N. H., July 16, 1787, married Lucy Davis, of that town, in 1812, and resided on the home farm with his parents until 1825, when he removed to Albany Vt. He afterwards removed to Canada, and from thence, in 1835, to Pittsford.  He resided some time in the Nixon house, from which he  removed to the Wright farm, a little south of Lewis White’s, and in 1850, he and his son Joel bought the place now owned  by Jeduthan Thomas. A few years later Joel sold his share of the property to his brother William, who married and resided there with his father till 1863, when they sold the place. After residing two years at Mill Village, and one at Center Rutland, they removed to Fairhaven, where the father died in 1868.

Joel Nourse, son of Luther, married Lucia Bassett, August 26, 1846. After residing some time with his father, he removed to Chittenden where he remained a few years, and then moved to the State of Wisconsin.   Lucia M. Bassett, daughter of Arba and Roxcellana (Maynard) Bassett, was born 3 Sep 1829 in Vermont. She died 23 Jul 1922. She married Joel Nourse on 26 Aug 1846 in Pittsford, Rutland County, Vermont by the Rev. Levi Smith.

1880 Census: Fairbank, Buchanan County, Iowa: Lucia Nourse (age 50, widowed) son Frank Nourse (age 12), daughter Annie (age 8).

I searched the 1925 Iowa State Census for anyone with parents named Joel and Lucia.  I found Alice Walker, in Osceola County, age 70 born about 1855, parents names were Joel Nourse and Lucia Bassett (ancestry.com has it indexed as Bussell), husband was O. W. Walker

Children of Joel D. Nourse and Lucia Bassett:

1856 Iowa State Census: Spring, Buchanan County, Iowa: Jas B. Orput (age 63) Mary Orput (age 59), A. Orput (age 25), J. C. Orput (age 21), R. Orput (age 9), Riliphe Faur (age 31), and Jas C. Faur (age 39)

In 1880 in Jackson County, Kansas, there was an Ambrose Patterson just a couple of houses away from Samuel Patterson).

I also discovered that his sister and brother-in-law Nicholas and Martha Vaneman were also in Genesee County in 1870.  So I am certain it is the correct Elliott V. Smith.

Minerva's daughter Martha Smith Van Eman and her husband Nicholas Van Eman are buried in West half block 56,and her daughter Louisa Smith Little and her husband Ebenezer Little are buried in block 1, lot 77.

On a document signed on Oct. 6, 1884, filed on June 29, 1885, the following signatures of eligible heirs to Minerva's estate appear: Louisa and Ebenezer Little, Martha and Nicholas Van Eman, Newcomb S. and Sarah J. Smith, Elliot V. and Hattie Smith, Wesley Charles and Mary Smith. In this document Minerva was signing over her property to Alvinza J. and Elmer Martin Smith for $1.00 and their agreement to care for her for the remainder of her life.

It is believed Minerva's mother lived with Minerva until she died at the age of 89. Waity (Vincent) Spaulding apparently lived with her daughter Minerva until she died. The Jefferson County, New York, census of July 18, 1850, Vol. 28-29 Le Ray, and the 1860 census for Buchanan County, Iowa, P. O. Fairbanks, show her living with Martin and Minerva Smith. The family was probably living  in Michigan when the 1870 Iowa census was taken as Martin's death certificate shows the place of his death as Flushing, Genesee County, Michigan, and the date of death September 14, 1870.

1860 Census: Byron, Buchanan County, Iowa: Levi H. Eddy (age 24, born New York), Maria Eddy (age 17, born New York), Joel Smith (age 14, born New York).  (Note in 1900 Joseph and Laura had a niece named Elsie Eddy living with them.  I was not sure which side of the family she was from.  Then on the 1860 census I found Joel living with Levi and Maria Eddy.  I did a quick check and found that  Levi H. Eddy (company H, 27th Iowa), married Maria Smith. Their youngest child was Elsie.  That indicates to me that Maria was Joel's sister.  Maria Smith was the daughter of Lee Smith and Amanda Bancroft.)

Smith, Montraville V.  He was the son of Lemuel Hawley Smith (July 30, 1823 – Sept. 10, 1901) and Mary Elizabeth Colby (May 23, 1826 – 1903).  Both parents died in Hennepin County, Minnesota.

(I found this after finding the 1880 census showing Montraville Smith and a younger brother Herbert in the same household. I have no doubts that this is the right family).

1870 Census Madison, Buchanan County, Iowa: Montraville Smith (age 25, born Illinois), Mary Smith (age 25, born Ireland), Oliver Smith (age 16, born Illinois) – I think Oliver must be a relation other than son.  He is too old to be their child.

Montraville Smith died June 19, 1916 and is buried in Madison Cemetery, Buchanan County, Iowa.  His widow Mary Smith filed for a pension on Sept. 25, 1916 in Kansas.

Note: The fact that they were in Trego County Kansas in 1910 and that Mary filed for a Widow’s pension in Kansas, makes me wonder if he is really buried in Buchanan County.  The source was the Iowa WPA   (This source is known for inaccuracies).

I searched the 1925 Iowa State Census for anyone with parents: father, last name Smith, born Illinois, mother first name Mary, born Ireland.  I found Elizabeth S. Kennedy in Oelwein, Fayette County, Iowa:  she was age 45, married to Leslie Kennedy.  Father: Monte Smith, born Illinois.  Mother: Mary Whitney, born Ireland. 

Leslie Kennedy and Elizabeth Smith Kennedy had children on the 1925 census: Warie F (age 10), Ruth H (age 8). Bettie L. (age 5)  Also living with them was Mary Smith, listed as mother-in-law: She was 78 years old, born in Ireland, father was John Whitney, born Ireland, mother was Maria Harton (or Horton), born Ireland.

Edward H. Spalding  Consider as parents: William Spalding (born June 14, 1816, died Jan 10, 1862) married Ann E. White in 1837.  No dates for her.  They had children:  Elizabeth born July 7, 1840: Edward H. Spalding born August 23, 1842, George Spalding born Feb 22, 1844.  He married Ellen Conway.: Alexander W. Spalding born Dec. 1845. Residence was Buchanan County, Iowa. : Maria Spalding born 1850.

The siblings listed above were clearly in Iowa in 1880:  I searched on the 1880 census for anyone named Spalding born in Maryland.  There were 4, The first 3 were in Cedar Rapids, Linn County, Iowa;

(1)  Elizabeth Spalding (age 39, born Maryland).  She was listed as Sister-in-Law in this family: R. N. Godson (age 33) wife Maria Godson (age 29, born Maryland), son John R. Godson (age 8), daughter Mary H. Godson (age 6).

(2) Geo H. Spalding (see him listed below.  He was with his wife an family and his widowed mother).

(3), Alexander W. Spalding (age 33, born Maryland), wife Emma (age 36), daughter Jennie B (age 6) and daughter Bessie (age 4).

(4) Hamilton Spalding (I highly suspect this is Edward (H)amilton?) was in Homer, Benton County, He was age 38, born in Maryland and widowed.  He was a farm hand.

Edward H. Spalding filed for a pension in Iowa on Sept. 1, 1890. 

George Spalding married Ellen Conway in 1867.  They had children: Mary Helena b. Jan 3, 1869, William J, born Aug 10, 1872, George, b. Mar 26, 1873 and Richard Basil born Feb. 2, 1885.

Lucian Stevens, was born in Vermont, November 1, 1830. In April 1853, he left Vermont for Connecticut, where he lived two years, working a machine shop in Meriden.  From there he came to Buchanan County, arriving at Independence, April 23, 1855, where he lived twenty-five years, with the exception of the time he spent in the army.  In April, 1867, he moved to his farm in Westburgh township, where he still resides.  On New Year's Day, 1851, Mrs. Stevens was married to Miss Julia Hill, of Waterford, Vermont.  She was the daughter of Mr. Walton Hill, of the same place, and was eighteen years old at the time of their marriage.  they have a family of nine children: Louisa M. W, born May 23, 1852, who is the wife of George Worth of Waterloo; Ellen J,  March 8, 1854: Elletta A, January 20, 1856, who married Mr. Herman Messenger, of Independence; Sarah J., October 9, 1858, Alfred L.

Mr. Stevens was a soldier of the Twenty-seventh Iowa Infantry.  Leaving a family of six children and wife dependent upon him for support, he went to the front and served his country three years, being mustered out as a corporal.  He was with the regiment, and engaged in all the campaigns with which it was connected.

(I am not 100% certain this is correct.  I got the information from Source: Family Data Collection - that Mariah was his mother.  Also, Julia Hill was in Waterford, so it seems reasonable that this is the correct family).

This website has more information on this family. 

I suspected that the 3 Vanderbilts listed in 1870 were siblings.  I searched family trees on Ancestry.com using their names.  I found a couple of family trees that appear to match:   James Vanderbilt (1803- Dec. 21, 1845) and Esther Warren.  (1805 - Aug. 22, 1875) had the following children:  Warren Vanderbilt (1833), Mahalia Vanderbilt (b. abt 1835), William Vanderbilt (b. abt. 1837), Philetus S. Vanderbilt (b. abt 1840) and Alice Vanderbilt (b. abt. 1842).  This same family tree showed William Vanderbilt married to Emma and showed several of his children.

1856 Iowa State Census: Buffalo, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Esther Vanderbilt (age 62, born New York, resident of Iowa 2 years), Warren Vanderbilt (age 23, born New York, resident of Iowa 3 years), Mahala Vanderbilt (age 21, born New York, resident of Iowa 2 years), Wm H, Vanderbilt, (age 19, born New York, resident of Iowa 3 years), Philetus Vanderbilt (age 15, born New York, resident of Iowa 2 years), Alice M. Vanderbilt (age 13, born New York, resident of Iowa 2 years).

1860 Census: Buffalo, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Esther Vanderbelt (age 66), Warren Vanderbelt (age 29), Philetus Vanderbelt (age 19) Mahala Vanderbelt (age 25), Alice Vanderbelt (age 18) and Ada Vanderbelt (age 2). (Note: William is not listed here, but in 1870, William is living with Warren and Mahala Vanderbilt).

1860 Census: Aurora, Erie County, New York: William Warren, (age 76), Adaline Warren (age 58), Jane Salisbury (age 13), and William Vanderbilt (age 25) (According to the family tree I found William Warren was Esther Warren's father.  Adaline was her stepmother - So this is most likely William Vanderbilt living with his grandfather and his wife.). 

1870 Census: Buffalo, Buchanan county, Iowa: Warren Vanderbilt, (age 37, born New York), William Vanderbilt (age 33, born New York), Nellie Vanderbilt (age 3), Mahala Vanderbilt (age 35, born New York).  (I found a couple of family trees that says Nellie Vanderbilt is the daughter of William Vanderbilt and Mary Bowen -  Nellie was on the 1880 Census in Silver Creek, Dixon County, Nebraska.  She was listed as "adopted" by George D. and Eliza A. Russel).

I found this query on the internet:  "I am searching for the parents of William Henry Vanderbilt born: Dec, 26, 1836 died: 1922 Ponca, Nebraska. He married Emma Jane Russell in Dec. 1872 at Ponca, Ne. Anyone know who are his parents, where was he born and did he have a marriage prev. to Miss Russell? He is a civil war vet."  (I had already found the information above regarding George & Eliza Russell adopting William's oldest daughter Nellie.  I wondered if they might be Emma's parents.  I backed up to the 1870 census and did not find her.  Then I searched the 1860 Census and found:.  Buffalo, Buchanan County, Iowa: Geo. D. Russell (age 38, Blacksmith, born NY), Eliza A. Russell (age 39), Ellen J. Russell (age 13), Nelson J. Russell (age 8), Frank J. Russell (age 5), Emma J. Russell (age 3) and Diamond Russell (age 1/12).   It appears that her parents adopted William's daughter Nellie).

1880 Census: Silver Creek, Dixon County, Nebraska: William H. Vanderbilt (age 43, born New York), wife Emma Vanderbilt (age 23, born Iowa), daughter Alice M. (age 6, born Nebraska), son George H. (age 4, born Nebraska), son Willis J. (Age 2, Born Nebraska), daughter Geritrude (age 2/12, born Nebraska)

1890 Veterans Census:  Daily and Silver Creek, Dixon County, Nebraska: William H. Vanderbilt: Sergeant, Co. C, 27th Iowa Inf. Enlisted Aug. 12, 1862, Discharge June 15, 1865. Served 2 years, 9 months, 20 days. Post Office Address: Ponca, Neb, Dixon County. Disability Incurred: Chronic Diarrhea & Rheumatism.

1900 Census: Precinct 16, Cedar County, Nebraska: William H. Vanderbilt (born Dec, 1832, age 62, born New York, Farmer), wife Emma J. (born (Feb. 1858, age 42, 9 children born, 9 still living, born Iowa), Son George (born Oct. 1875, age 24), born Nebraska), Son Willis (age Nov. 1877, age 23, born Nebraska), Daughter Effie (Born Dec. 1883, age 17, born Nebraska), Son Warren (born Mar. 1886, age 14, born Nebraska), daughter Ester (born Aug. 1889, age 10, born Nebraska), Daughter Hazel (born Sept. 1892, age 7, born Nebraska), son Walter (born July 1895, age 4, born Nebraska). (Note: this census record said they were married for 9 years, 9 children born, 9 still living - Unless he was married to two different women named Emma, the 9 years married would have to be incorrect).

1910 Census: Precinct 19, Cedar County, Nebraska: William H. Vanderbild (age 73, married 2 times, last time for 37 years, born New York), wife Emma J. Vanderbild (age 53, married 1 time for 37 years, 9 children born, 9 still living, born Iowa), son George H. (age 34), son Willis J. (age 32), son Warren P, (age 24), daughter Ester E (age 20), daughter Hazel E (age 17), son Walter (age 13).

1920 Census: Randolph, Cedar County, Nebraska: W. H. Vanderbilt, (age 83, born New York), wife Emma (age 62), son Walter (age 23).

William Henry Vanderbilt died Sept. 20, 1922 and is buried in Silver Ridge Cemetery, Ponca, Dixon County, Nebraska  (GAR Post 116, 352  Dept. of Nebraska)

(see also William P Warren and James G. Warren)) 

1850 Census - Wayne, Lawrence, Pennsylvania: David Vaneman (age 44), Anna Vaneman (age 47), Martha Vaneman (age 15), William Vaneman (age 12), Nicholas Vaneman (age 7), and George Vaneman (age 5).  This is obviously the same family in Buchanan County, Iowa in 1870.  I don't have actual proof that this is the correct family, but working backwards from 1910, it seems to be consistent with what is known. (i.e. I know Nicholas Vaneman was in Buchanan County in 1862, so it seems reasonable that he would be there in 1860.  If that is him in 1860, then it would also be him in 1850 -- this is clearly the same family - minus David and Martha in 1870.).

1860 Census - Alton, Buchanan County, Iowa: Anna Vanneman (age 57, born PA), William C. Vanneman (age 22, born PA), Nicholas Vanneman (age 17, born PA), George W. Vanneman (age 14, born PA)

Nicholas Vaneman filed for a pension on March. 27, 1877. 

1880 Census: Montros, Genesee County, Michigan:  Nicholas D. Vaneman (age 37, farmer), wife Martha E. (age 37), daughter Anna M. (age 13), son David A. (age 10), son Martin S. (age 9), son George E (age 7) and daughter Jennie (age 5). 

1895 Iowa State Census: Jesup, Buchanan County, Iowa. 

1900 Census: Hazelton, Buchanan county, Iowa:   Nicholas Vaneman (born Oct. 1841, age 58, married for 36 years, Blacksmith), wife Martha E (Born Feb. 1841, age 59, married 36 years, 8 children born, 5 still living).  Son Martin was living next door with his family.  

1910 census: Hazelton, Buchanan County, Iowa: Nicholas D. Vaneman (age 67, married 1 time for 45 years), wife Martha E. (age 68, married 1 time for 45 years, 8 children born, 5 still living).  

I could not find his date of death, but his widow Martha E. Vaneman filed for a pension on July 20, 1912. 

The 1925 Iowa State Census shows the parents names (including the maiden name of the mother). I searched for Vaneman in 1925 and found Martha Van Eman living with her son Arthur and family:  Martha Van Eman. age 84, mother, highest reader: 2, can read and write, born New York. Father's name:  Martin Smith, Mother's name: Minerva Spalding. Parents were married in New York, Religion: Methodist.  Note:  Arthur was age 55.  I suspect he was the child David A. (age 10) on the 1880 Census.  He lists his parents as Nicholas Van Eman and Martha Smith.  I also found an E. G. (most likely George E. on the 1880 census) who also listed his parents as Nicholas Van Eman and Martha Smith.

NOTE: Martha (Smith) Van Eman's brother Elliott V. Smith, was also in Company C, 27th Iowa.

I had done quite a bit of research on William H. Vanderbilt whose parents were James Vanderbilt and Esther Warren.  I wondered whether these two Warren boys - also in Company C - were related to him?   Esther Warren's parents were William Warren and Susannah Hale.  They had children:

1. Esther Warren (married James Vanderbilt), Their children are listed above.
2. Philetus O. Warren (married Cynthia Adams) and had children: Bishop B., William and Cynthia.  He died April 6, 1839.
3. Hannah Warren married Almon M. Clapp.
4. Calista Warren married Simon B. Briggs and had 1 child James George Briggs (born April 21, 1842, died May 11, 1837 at Long Beach, Los Angeles, California).
5. Oscar F. Warren married Lovisa H. Connelly

1850 Census Aurora, Erie County, New York:  William Warren (age 66), Cordella House (age 3), Mary Bela (age 2), Calista Briggs (age 43), Oscar Warren (age 21), Bishop Warren (age 16), Cynthia Warren (Age 13), William (age 11) and James Briggs (age 8).  This appears to be an extended family.  I'm not sure how Cordella House & Mary Bela fit in - But this appears to be William Warren with his daughter Calista Warren Briggs, (with her son James) son Oscar Warren and three other grandchildren (the children of Philetus - Bishop, William and Cynthia).

In 1860, that same basic family structure is in Madison, Buchanan County, Iowa: Oscar F. Warren (age 31), Lovisa H. Warren (age 32), Almon M. Warren (age 8), Everett A. Warren (age 6), Edith Warren (age 4), Calista Warren (age 54), James Warren (age 18), Bishop B. Warren (age 25), and William P. Warren (age 21).  (I note that Calista is using last name Warren and it appears that her son James is also using Warren as his last name.

Based on this I think William P. Warren (Son of Philetus Warren) and James G. Warren (son of Calista Briggs?) are cousins and are also cousins to William Henry Vanderbilt (son of Esther Warren).  William P. Warren died during the Civil War.

1870 Census: Prairie, Delaware County, Iowa:  James G. Warren (age 28, born NY), Cordelia L. (age 27, born NY), Earnest (age 2), Lula (age 2/12).

1900 Census: El Monte, Los Angeles County, California: James G. Warren (born April 1842, age 58, married 8 years, born New York), wife Mary A. (age 29, married 8 years 0 children born.)

1910 Census: Lexington, Los Angeles County, California:  James G. Warren (age 67, widowed, born New York),

1920 Census: Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California: James Warren (age 77, born NY), wife Susan Warren (age 57).

1930 Census: Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California: James Warren (age 87, born New York, was age 20 at first marriage, served in the civil war.) wife Susan Warren (age 70).

I could be completely off base on this, but based on the information that I found in the family trees that James George Briggs was born April 21, 1842 and died in May 11, 1937 in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, California. I think this is him. I think James George Briggs went by the name James G. Warren.

1850 Census: Wilmot, Bradford, Pennsylvania:  James Foster (age 60), Anna Foster (age 58), Wm. Morgan Hobbs (age 20), Wellington Washburn (age 40), Arvilla Washburn (age 38), John Washburn (age 18), Lowisa Washburn (age 15), Lydia Washburn (age 14), James d.
