I made contact with a descendant of his sister (Henrietta) who says his parents were Davis Baker (b. 1791 NH- d. 1842 New Hampshire) and Hannah Church (b. 1794 NH- d. 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.

There is information on ancestry.com that says George Washington Beaman (that served with the 27th Iowa), was the son of the Zachariah Beaman and Catherine Randall.  He was born on Feb. 13, 1838 in Indiana and died June 1, 1922 in Iowa.  There were some things that did not add up for me with regard to this information.  (including the fact that I could find no evidence that he or his parents had ever been in Buchanan County, Iowa -- and all the census records said he was born in Indiana).  I continued to research and this is what I found:

1850 Census, Oregon, Ogle County, Illinois:  Dexter Beaman (age 39, farmer, born VT), Sempta Beaman (age 34, born VT), Mary A. Beaman (age 14,born NY), George W. Beaman (age 13, born Ohio), Hellen C. Beaman (age 8, born Illinois), Julia L Beaman (age 5, born Illinois) and Charles F. Beaman (age 1, born Illinois).

1860 Census, Iowa, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Dexter Beeman (age 47, Hotel Keeper), Emily Beeman (age 25), Julia Beeman (age 15), Chas. Beeman (age 11) and Henry Beeman (age 1).    There is no George listed with them.

On the 1862 County tax roll, Dexter Beaman is listed as a Retail Dealer in Liquor and Hotel 4th Class in Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa.

As I continued to research.  I found a family on the 1880 Census and 1885 Iowa State Census in Independence, Buchanan County:  I wondered if this could be the widow and children of George Beaman.

1880 Census:  Independence County,  Iowa:  Wm. Householder (age 40), Louiza Householder (age 41), Azelia Beman (age 20), Addie Beman (age 19), Geo. W. Beaman (age 16), Maude Householder (age 6).

1885 Iowa State Census:  Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Wm. Householder (age 45, painter, born Ohio) Louisa Householder (age 46, born NY),  Leta Beaman (age 24, born Buchanan County, Iowa), Addie Beaman (age 22, born Buchanan County, Iowa), George Beaman (age 21, born Buchanan County, Iowa), Maude Householder (age 10, born Buchanan County, Iowa) , Maude Householder (age 10, born Buchanan County, Iowa), and Lemuel Householder (age 80, born MD.)

Then on the 1925 Iowa State Census, I found this information.  It shows that George Beaman born about 1865 was the son of George Beaman and Louisa Briggs.

1925 Iowa State Census:  Anamosa, Jones County, Iowa:  George Beaman, Father's name: George Beaman, born Iowa. Mother: Louisa Briggs, born New York.  Parents married in Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa.

I then searched the internet for William Householder and Louisa Beaman and found this information: 

Illinois Statewide Marriage Index 1763-1900

HOUSEHOLDER, WILLIAM -  BEAMAN, LOUISA C
OGLE 10/27/1870 00C/ 00003708

Next, I found this website that lists the descendants of Joseph Beaman which lists Dexter and his son George Washington Beaman: 

It contains this information about Dexter and George Washington Beaman:

Beaman. Dexter⁷ b. 5 Sep. 1810, Bennington, lived in NY, Ohio, DeKalb Co. Ill, then by 1850, Oregon, Ogle Co., Ill. He was in Wis. or Iowa in 1858, and in Independence, Buchanan Co., Iowa in 1860, but back in Ill from 1869 to his death, in 1899.

He died ca. 1869, and his widow remarried to William Householder. She was in Independence, Iowa in 1880, and by 1900 was with son George in Anamosa, Jones Co., Iowa. children: a.son, b. 6 Jul. 1860 b.Azelia⁹, b. 1861 c.Addie⁹, b. 1862 16d.George Washington⁹, b. Apr. 1864, Iowa. e.child, died before 1880.

This is the last piece of information that I found.  I am convinced that George W. Beaman that served with the 27th Iowa was the son of Dexter Beaman, not Zachariah Beaman.

George W. Beaman died April 15th, 1867 and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa.  (Headstones Provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans:  George W.

When he died she married Obed Wellman (8-2-1860).  She had one child, Alva Jones, by John Jones.  She had 4 children by William Brant).

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.

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 (born Maine).  With the information on the 1900 census, I am sure this is the same Mary that was married to Lorin Carpenter.

Robeson (age 0, born Iowa). The last child's first name name was very difficult to read.  I'm pretty sure the first letter was an L and appeared to have a middle initial A.  The last name was clearly Robeson.

1860 Census in Alton, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Lucinda Robinson (age 35, born NY), Joel Fisher (age 19, laborer, born NY), Phebe Fisher (age 16, born NY), Mary Fisher (age 13, born NY), Chas Fisher (age 11, born Mich.) and Elvira Fisher (age 4, born Iowa). ( I would assume Elvira is the child that was age 0 on the 1856 census - the name on the 1856 census was very light and very difficult to read - but clearly the last name was Robeson)

1870 Census in Fairbank, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Joel Fisher (age 29, farmer, born NY), Esther A. Fisher  (age 31, born Ohio), John Fisher (age 9, born Iowa), Lena G (age 4, born Iowa), Frank L. (age 1, born Iowa).

Joel Fisher died Oct. 5, 1905 at Sayre, Oklahoma (pension index records).  Sayre is in Beckham County, Oklahoma.   He is buried in Hico Cemetery, Hico, Hamilton County, Texas.

I found his family on the 1910 census in Granite Ward, Greer County, Oklahoma:  Eliza Fisher (age 49, widow, born Texas, 3 children born, 3 living), Edward Fisher (son, age 14), daughter Sadie E. Healy (age 21, born Texas) and daughter Sackett C. Healy,  (age 19, born Texas).  (From this record, I have concluded that the 1900 census information regarding the number of children is wrong.).

When the new line of the Des Moines Valley Railroad was built in 1869 it was only natural that immigrant travel would change from stage to train, a condition that proved ruinous to the small village, and in June 1870 a town was laid out on the railroad and was named New Rippey

The author of the overall manuscript on the family line was Henry Gordon Hicks 1877-1949, a nephew of Gilbert L. H. Hicks, Sr.  It started with the parents of Gilbert and tried to cover all their descendants. Then it also covered collateral lines and attempted to find more on the ancestry. That was what Vicki rescued and eventually sent to me.  The bio on Gilbert was written by his son, Gilbert, Jr. on Jan 27th, 1932 as part of the overall project

Gilbert Leman Huisted Hicks Sr.

Since it was the plan for each family to furnish their own family history, we submit herewith a full report of Gilbert L. H. Hicks, Sr. and Descendants as furnished by his youngest son Gilbert L. H. Hicks, Jr., Alanson, Emmett County, Mich.

Gilbert Leman Huisted Hicks, Sr. was the second child and second son born to Henry B. Hicks and Huldah M. Everetts. His birth occurred at Swanton, Franklin County, Vermont, August 18th 1831. He removed with his parents when four years of age to Allegan, Michigan in 1836. Although schools were not what they are today, and it was necessary to work for a living, yet he managed to get a very good common school education; being a naturally fine scholar and especially strong in mathematics. In 1853, he was married to Harriet Augusta Hoyt, whose parents were also Vermonteers; to this union were born six children: Ida, Harvey, Anna, George H., Eugene, and Gilbert L. H., Jr. At this time (January 27th 1932) only the last mentioned is living. Harvey having died at eight years of age from appendicitis or what at that time was called inflammation of the bowels for which very little help was available, for such a thing as operations was not then thought of. Eugene died at about ten weeks of age of pneumonia. Ida M. (Mrs. Joseph Smith) died at 26 years of age when her son Joseph Jr. was born January (sic February) 15th 1881. Anna (wife of Theodore M. Robe) died April 13th 1932, from the effects of the flu after much suffering. George H. was accidentally killed being run over by a truck when hurrying to his work in Ionia, Michigan, January 10th 1927. Gilbert L. H. Sr. moved to Independence, Iowa in 1857. I think at which time they had the two older children Ida M. and Harvey; Anna, George H., and Eugene were born in Iowa and Gilbert L H Jr in Springbrook, Michigan, the old family home after the family returned from Iowa.

Gilbert L H Hicks, Sr., enlisted in the war of the rebellion in 1862, in the 27th Iowa Infantry, Company C, and served until the close of the war. After having been in every engagement his regiment was in during the whole three years, he was never wounded, although bullets passed through his trousers and hat and tore out some of his whiskers. Although not wounded, he contracted rheumatic sore eyes, both of which troubled him more or less all the remainder of his life, in spite of which he was a very hard worker and strong. His good wife, Harriet Augusta, was a very cheerful person and well liked by all that knew her. She was always very contented in her home in the North Land, which new country life seemed to agree with her.

When Gilbert L. H. Sr. came home from the war he soon bought a farm in Cooper Township, this farm was just over the Richland-Cooper township line, and adjoined the Henry B. Hicks farm. He sold his farm in 1877 and the family removed to Alanson, Emmett County, Michigan. Alanson at that time was known only as Hinman Post Office. The railroad then ran only as far north as Petosky and the family had to move all their supplies by hired team over 14 miles of new road though dense forests and pole across the rivers at Alanson on a pontoon bridge, then carry the goods on our backs two miles to our new home in the woods. We carried the lumber for the floor of one part of our log house that two miles on our backs and well do I remember how those 6 inch by 16 foot boards would spring and flop as we walked over the rough ground, but we soon got used to such work. As we had to carry all our provisions and goods home from Petosky and such heavy goods as stoves etc. It took all day to go and come with our loads. Here now we run back and forth in an hour with our cars.

I, Gilbert L. H. Jr., have carried as much as my own weight which was 75 pounds at that time, although only 14 years of age. We had no horses at all for several years, when finally my sister, Ida and her husband, Joseph B. Smith, brought a team of horses with him. Our first team was a steer and a heifer both being two years old. I broke and drove team myself, and did the first plowing I did in this country with that team, we used oxen later and finally graduated to horses.

Before we came to this new country, I had had but very little schooling and there was no school here for two years or more, so I studied at home and finally managed to go to a district school two or three short terms. When there was a shortage of teachers in our county, I taught a few terms after which I attended the Petosky High School a few months and then taught some more until finally I got married Nancy J. Kipp of Conway, Mich., another Emmett County teacher, and we have had plenty to do since without teaching, although we both enjoyed teaching.

Six children have been born to Nancy and I. Clinton, our first baby we lost in infancy. Pearl Williams has been a successful salesman for many years and is now in Chicago.  Earl C., who owns and lives on the home farm.  Grace L. Flood a teacher in the city schools of Tampa, Florida. Fern M. Anderson, a trained nurse who lives in Detroit, and June E. Campbell of Iron Mountain, Mich. Our two boys were the best help we ever had on the farm, and our girls all held teachers certificates. We feel justly proud of our children and their success in life. We have ten grand children and five great grand children. We are now living across the road from our old home where we commenced our married life, having sold the place to Earl C. We are comfortably situated and very contented, but we expect are long to go to our permanent home beyond the grave, where we hope to be joined later on by all our children, as we have always tried to raise them that way.    

Gilbert L. H. Hicks, Alanson, Michigan

Since the above was written, Mr. and Mrs. Hicks celebrated their 50th golden wedding anniversary at their old home August 25, 1938, with about 100 guests present including their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. This date also being Mrs. Hick's 75th birthday.

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.

Grand Army of the Republic James E. Jewel Commander-in-Chief 1930 / 1931 James E. Jewel was born in Germantown, Ohio, October 19, 1847, and died at his home in Fort Morgan, Colorado, November 8, 1939, aged 92 years. He migrated with his parents to Iowa in 1854, receiving his early education in the rural schools. Mr. Jewel enlisted with the Union Army in Company C, 27th Iowa Infantry, October 27, 1864, just past 17 years old. He served as color guard all the time he was in the Army, and was honorably discharged November 17, 1864. Mr. Jewel entered the University of Iowa to obtain his law degree, graduating in 1877, and practiced law at Independence, Iowa, until 1901, when he came to Colorado, and was interested in farming and stock raising in addition to his law practice. He joined the Grand Army of the Republic in 1878, serving in many offices with credit to himself and to the organization. In 1921 Mr. Jewel was elected Department Commander of Colorado and Wyoming. He served as Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief in 1928 and Commander-in-Chief In 1930. A loyal soldier of the Union cause, a Christian gentleman, a loving husband and father, he was broad in his thinking and built his own creed which contained the things that were essential and vital. A natural leader, his counsel was always listened to with respect by his associations. On March 6, 1871, Mr. Jewel was united in marriage to Mahala E. Rozell. Four children were born, all of whom, with their mother, had preceded him in death. On November 30, 1919, Mr. Jewel was united in marriage to Mary S. Jewel, who with 13 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren remain to mourn and cherish his memory. Burial took place in Arlington Cemetery, Washington, D.C. E.H. Cowan, Joshua C.

1856 Iowa State Census: Jefferson, Buchanan County, Iowa: Aaron W. Jewell (age 33, born Ohio, Merchant), Susana Jewel (age 31, born Ohio), Mary Jewell (age 10, born Ohio), James E. Jewell (age 8, born Ohio), John W. Jewell (age 4, born Ohio) and Estley Jewell (age 2, born Ohio).  The family had been in the state of Iowa for 2 years.

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, born Ohio), wife Mahala Jewell (age 26, born Iowa), son Fred Jewell (age 8, born Iowa), son Jed L. Jewell (age 4, born Iowa).  There were two boarders living with them:  John Kirk (age 25), and Clara Dewey (age 20).

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

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, born Ohio), wife Mahala (Born Feb 1854, age 46, married 29 years, 4 children born, 4 still living, born Iowa), son Ray (born Jan 1882, age 18, born Iowa), daughter Tillie, (born Dec. 1875, age 24, born Iowa), Daughter Helen, (born March 1890, age 10, born Iowa) -- (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 biography 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).

James E. Jewel died Nov. 8, 1939 at Fort Morgan, Colorado. He is buried in Arlington Cemetery, Washington, D.C.

Angel (age 29).

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

1860 Census: South Fork, Delaware County, Iowa; D. F. Johnston (age 27, born Canada), Hepsey Johnston (age 26), James C. Johnston (age 3), William Johnston (age 1).

He filed for a pension on July 21, 1863. 

1870 Census Fairbank, Buchanan County, Iowa: David Johnson (age 36, sewing machine agent,  born Nova Scotia), Hepsible Johnson (age 35), Curtis Johnson (age 12), Mary Johnson (age 9), Francis Johnson (age 5), John Johnson (age 3), Anna Johnson (age 7/12).

1880 Census: District 16, Lincoln, Buena Vista County, Iowa: Curtis J. Johnston (age 22), mother Hepzibah Johnston (age 46, married), brother Willie J. 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.

David F. Johnston died June 29, 1911 and is buried in Storm Lake Cemetery, Buena Vista County, Iowa.

Iowa Civil War Soldier Burial Records: 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.  (note: Find a Grave also says Johnson.)

According to the cemetery information for Fremont Cemetery (on Find A Grave) Helen S. Kelsey (born Sept. 18, 1847 - died April 19, 1899)

1850 Census: Bloomfield, Walworth, Wisconsin: Robert Kelsey (age 64), Betsey Kelsey (age 50), John Kelsey (age 20) and Eastman Kelsey (age 18).

John W. Kelsey died May 13, 1865 in Montgomery Alabama, and is buried in Marietta National Cemetery, Marietta, Georgia..

His widow Nettie E. Kelsey filed for a pension on Oct. 10, 1865. 

I suspect that he is a brother to Eastman Kelsey above.  In 1850 there is a family with Eastman and John that would be the right age to fit these two.  They joined on the same day (over a year after the unit was created.)

1850 Census: Wilna, Jefferson County, New York:   Shepard King (age 54, Farmer, born Vermont), Orathy King (age 51, born Mass), Silas R. King (age 13, born NY), Martin King (age 11, born NY and Mary J. King (age 8, b born NY). This family was indexed as Hing. 

1856 Iowa State Census:  Shepard King, (age 60, farmer, born Vermont), Ortha King (age 56, born Mass.), Silas King (age 19, born NY), Martin King (age 17, born NY), and Mary Jane King (age 15, born NY).  The family had been in the state of Iowa less then 1 year.

1910 Census:  Nowata Ward 1, Nowata County, Oklahoma: Martin T. King, (age 69, divorced, born New York, own income), brother Silas King (age 73, widowed).

Martin T. King died February 15, 1918 and is buried in Nowata Memorial Park Cemetery, Nowata, Nowata County, Oklahoma

1860 Census: Buffalo, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Willard King, (age 28), Jerusha King (age 24), Wm King (age 5), Susan King (age 3) and Frank King (age 1).

His Widow Jerusha A. King field for a pension on Aug. 15. 1864.  She filed for a minor on Jan. 16, 1869.  J. A. Fuller was the guardian.

In the account above,  I note a several discrepancies in information that I have for Willard H. King that joined the 27th Iowa.  These discrepancies make me wonder if information hasn't been combined for two different Willard/William Kings?? 

1. Unless he was in another unit before he joined the 27th Iowa, he could not have been in the Battle of Shiloh. The Battle of Shiloh was April 6-7, 1862.  Willard H. King enlisted with the 27th Iowa on Aug. 12, 1862.  (several months after the Battle of Shiloh -- the 27th Iowa was not involved in this battle).
    
2. It says "he died in hospital a few days after from the effects of his wounds"  The roster says he died July 5, 1864 of disease. (But again Willard H. King enlisted Aug. 12, 1862.  How could he have died a few days after the Battle of Shiloh?) 
    
3. The information 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.  I have the least trouble with this one.  It is possible he was moved after the war.  However, I do note that Find a Grave has a Williard H. King buried in  Memphis National Cemetery,  Shelby County, Memphis, Tenn.  Plot 2032.  Date of death is July 5, 1864.  I have requested a photo.
    
4. Based on the pension index record, I believe the family information is correct.  I am just not convinced that he died from wounds in the Battle of Shiloh.  (and I am not totally convinced that he is buried in Wilna, Jefferson County, NY).   My best guess would be that another William/Willard King died after the battle of Shiloh, and someone has combined his information with the information for Willard H. King that served with the 27th Iowa.

1880 Census: Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa: Wm. S. King (age 40, teamster, born New York), wife Arvilla King (age 39, born New York), daughter Lucinda King (age 17, born Iowa), daughter Sarah E. King (age 11, born Iowa), son Albert N.

William S. King died Sept. 17. 1914 at Marshalltown, Iowa (pension index record).   He is buried in Iowa Veterans Home Cemetery, Marshalltown, Marshall County, Iowa: Plot Section C, Row 31, Grave 14.

1915 Iowa State Census.  Marshalltown, Marshall County, Iowa: William S. King (age 76, widowed, County: Marshall, Township: Marshalltown.

I find this interesting. The source for the date of death is the Pension Index Records and yet, he is clearly on the state census in 1915--or was there some provision for counting the deceased for the next years census?

U.S. Civil War Records and Profiles:  Name:  Reuben G. Merrill, Sr., Residence Buchanan County, Iowa.  Age at enlistment:  41.  Enlistment date:  Jan. 24, 1864, Rank at enlistment: Private.  State Served:  Iowa.  Survived the war?  NO.  Service Record:  enlisted in Company H, Iowa 1st Cavalry Regiment on Jan 24, 1864.  Mustered out on Jan 16, 1865 at Hazelton, Iowa.  Birth Date:  about 1823.  Sources:  Roster & Record of Iowa Soldiers in the War of Rebellion  (NOTE:  Reuben G. Merrill Jr. enlisted in the same regiment on the same day).

Note: there is a discrepancy in his date of death.  His tombstone and cemetery records say he died Jan. 22, 1864.  He is buried in Fontana Cemetery, Hazelton, Buchanan Co. Iowa. 

Iowa Cemetery Records:  Name:  Gardner Merrill, death date:  Jan  22, 1864, page #279, Birth Date, 1822, Cemetery:  Hazelton.  Town Hazelton.  Level Info:  Buchanan County Burial Records.

HOWEVER, his service with Co. H, Iowa 1st Cavalry, makes it unlikely that he died in Jan. 1864.  The information above says he died "Jan 17, 1865 Hazelton, Buchanan Co, Ia While home on leave per Military Records & History of Buchanan Co"  That seems to be more in line with the roster information from the Iowa 1st Cavalry.  (I can only speculate, but sometimes in January, it is hard to transition to a new year.  Perhaps they accidentally put 1864, because that year had just ended.)

His widow Prudence Merrill filed for a pension on Apr. 4, 1865.  It was filed under the Co. H. 1 1owa Cavalry.

I was able to find Benjamin P. and Elizabeth J. Muchmore on both the 1850 and 1860 census records.  There was no Stephen B listed either census year.  Both census years did include a Joseph Muchmore that would be the right age.  AND there are several family trees online, but they do not mention Joseph.  Are Stephen and Joseph the same??

Birth record of Ray B. Muchmore in Buchanan, Brandon, Iowa shows date of birth as Feb. 2, 1872- Date of death, 1874. Parents were Stephen Bryant Muchmore and Adelaide Roselind Knox.

Walter S. Munger died of typhoid fever on Nov. 8, 1862. He is buried in Old Oakwood Cemetery, Anoka, Minnesota.   Note:  I also found information  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   I found tombstone photos for both cemeteries.  Possibly one of the sites is a memorial site.  .

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 pension and census records).  I'm assuming the date of death on this source is an error.

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:

1. Clarence Vernon Nourse - born 23 Jan 1848, died 18 Jan 1918, married Nettie Bowdish on 12 May 1874. They had Ruby, born 13 Nov 1875, died about 1877. He married (2) Helen Walker Wallis.

Orput (age 57), Mary Orput (age 54), Relephe Orput (age 24), Aryenetta Orput (age 19), John Orput (age 15), Reason Orput (age 13).  I don't know for sure that this is the correct family.  But the child named Reason is the right age and I can see where phonetically Reason and Rezin could sound alike.  If I were a descendant I would at least consider looking into this family.  I also note that on the 1900 census Rezin Orput has a son named James B.

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)

1850 Census - Harrison, Winnebago County, Illinois - John G. Rice, (age 26), Malvina Rice (age 23), Francis M. Rice (male, age 3/12).

1880 Census: Hebron, Thayer, Nebraska: John Rice (age 56), wife Melvina Rice (age 53), and son Charles Rice (age 23).

There is a discrepancy in his date of death:

Headstones Provided for Deceased Union Civil War Veterans:  John G. Rice, Pvt. Co. C, 27th Iowa Inf. Cemetery Hebron at Hebron Nebraska.  Date of Death Feb. 14, 1882. 

Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War has this information: John G. Rice, 27th Iowa (born Jan 24, 1824 - died Jan. 14, 1883) Buried:  Hebron City Cemetery, Hebron, Thayer, Nebraska   (note:  birth Washington Co., New York, Widow Mevina) 

His widow Melvina Rice filed for a pension on July 17, 1882 -- So the 1882 date of death is probably correct.

1890 Veterans Census: Hebron, Thayer County, Nebraska: Melvina Rice, widow of John G. Rice, Private, Co. C. 27th Iowa Inf.  Enlisted Aug. 14, 1862, discharged Aug. 8, 1865, Length of Service: 2 years, 11 months, 24 days.  Post Office Address: Hebron, Nebraska Thayer Co., Disability Incurred: Breast Smashed.

Iowa 1885 State Census - Jefferson, Buchanan County, Iowa: Isaac Romig (age 70), Elizabeth Romig (age 61),

Isaac Romig died May 5, 1889 in Buchanan County, Iowa.

The mother of Henry H. Romig,  Elizabeth Romig filed for a pension on Dec. 24, 1891 in Iowa.

1870 Census, Byron, Buchanan County, Iowa:  Joseph Slaughter, (age 32, born Ohio), Victorine (age 28, born Ohio), Mary Slaughter (age 9, born Illinois), John Slaughter (age 6, born Illinois), Joseph Slaughter (age 4, born Illinois), Margaret Slaughter (age 1, born Iowa) and James Robison (age 28, farm laborer, born England).  Note that in 1885, there is an M. Slaughter living with James and Sarah.  Is this him and is this a  hint to her maiden name?

1885 South Dakota State Census, Sanborn County:  James Robinson (age 49, head of family, farmer), wife Sarah Robinson (age 51, farmer, born Ohio), son Curtis Tully (age 30, born Iowa), boarder M. Slaughter (female, age 10, born Iowa)

Note: on Find a Grave, there is a James Robinson, born 1840, died Feb. 1886, buried in Mt. Pleasant, Artesian, Sanborn County, South Dakota.  I am trying to determine if it is the correct James Robinson.  Update:  Ellen Bishop, who has his memorial on Find A Grave said:   I got the WPA paper for him it gives his birth date at Feb 28,1888,  he entered service 8/9/1862 in Winthrop IA and discharged 8/8/1865 at Clinton IA, information is from Military records in Des Moines IA, think this is your boy! Served in Inf Co C  7th IA, he had and has only a FH family Headstone.  The enlistment and discharge dates and places are correct.  The birthdate is way off (he should have been born about 1840) and the unit says 7 instead of 27.  I questioned this, so she is going to go back and look at it again.  However, I do feel that this is the correct James Robinson.

His widow Sarah Robinson filed for a pension on January 28, 1887? in Dakota. (the last digit of the year was not clear, but I think it is 7.)

1900 Census, District 295, Diana, Sanborn County, South Dakota:  Sarah Robinson (born Aug. 1833, age 66, widowed, married 49 years, 7 children born, 3 still living, born Ohio), G-Son-in-law Frank G. Yaw (born Aug. 1872, age 27, married 6/12, born Wisconsin, cattle buyer), G-daughter Minnie E. Yaw (born Sept 1875, born Iowa),

I found this information on WPA - Work Projects Administration 1930's Grave Registration Survey:  Joseph W. Russell, died Aug. 11, 1865, buried Spangler Cemetery, Buffalo Township, County: Buchanan Co., Iowa.  Record Notes:  Lot 9, Civil War Vet, but there is no marker on the grave.  I feel fairly certain this information is incorrect (at least the date of death).  Pension index records show that he filed for a pension in 1879.  The 1885 List of Iowa Soldiers shows that he was living in Buffalo, Buchanan County in 1885.  His widow filed for a pension in 1898.  He may be buried in Spangler Cemetery, but I feel certain he did not die in 1865.

According to the cemetery listing on the Buchanan USGENWEB site there are four Russells buried in Spangler Cemetery:  Edith J. Russell died Nov. 20, 1863, age 1 year, 2 months, 23 days.  George W. Russell died Sept. 20, 1867, age 8 m. 27 days.  Sarah A. Russell died June 19, 1871, age 26 years, 4 months 17 days and Walter S. Russell died Dec. 4, 1867, age 1 year, 2 months 20 days.

He filed for a Pension on July 11, 1879.

1870 Census: Vienna, Genesee County, Michigan: Elliott V. Smith, (age 27, works in saw mill, born New York) - At first there was nothing to prove this is the right Elliott.  But he was the only Elliott V born in NY that I could find.  He was the right age and was also in Michigan on the 1880 Census.  Then I found the statement below that his father Martin Smith died Sept. 14, 1870 in Genesee County, Michigan. 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.

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.)

1900 Census: Cotton Plant, Marion County, Florida:  Maria Godson (born June 1851, age 48, widowed, 1 child born, 1 still living), son Richard Godson (born June 1873 (age 27, born Iowa), brother Hamilton Spalding (born Aug. 1844, age 55, single born Maryland, farm laborer), niece Lena Spalding (born Jan. 1869, age 31, born Iowa), nephew Richard Spalding (born Feb. 1884, age 16, born Iowa), nephew Harrison Spalding (born March 1897, age 13, born Iowa), nephew Lenard Spalding (born Jan 1890, age 10, born Iowa), and Muslin Spalding (born April 1892, age 8, born Iowa).  (Maria Godson is the married sister of George H. Spalding (see the 1880 census information in Edward H. Spalding above)..  I believe the children belonged to George H. Spalding.  Brother Hamilton Spalding is single.  I believe he is Edward H. Spalding. The other brothers are accounted for - and none of the brothers have an initial of H.)

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 I believe I found him living with grandparents in New Yorik in 1860.  See below.

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 his second wife's 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 Gertrude (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)

1870 Census: Montros, Genesee County, Michigan:  Nicholas Veneman (age 27, born Pennsylvania), Martha (age 26, born New York), Anna (age 4, born Iowa), Nellie (age 2, born Michigan), Arthur (age 6/12, born Michigan)

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).  

Nicholas Vaneman died Jan. 14, 1913. He is buried in Littleton Cemetery, Buchanan County, Iowa, West Half block 56 

 His widow Martha E. Vaneman filed for a pension on January 20, 1913. 

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.

I had done quite a bit of research on William H. Vanderbilt whose parents were James Vanderbilt and Esther Warren.  I wondered whether the two Warren boys (James G and William P) - 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).

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 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 from disease  (possibly typhoid fever) Dec. 15, 1864, at Memphis, Tenn.
