These are various notes for the men of Company G, 27th Iowa.  They are just notes that I have accumulated, that aren't enough for a full page for one soldier.  I use various sources.  I start with the Pension Records Index to see if I can determine the spouse's name.  Then I check Census records, and Family Trees on Ancestry.com.  If I can determine what county/state he was in, I check the USGENWEB site for that particular county. I also use Find A Grave and Iowa Gravestones Photo Project websites.

Hi Lisa, My great grandmother was Sarah A. Grow. Her father was David Grow, died in 1855 in Charles City. Her mother was Augusta Young Grow. I have been trying to find out who David's parents are.

He wasn't very old....Please let me know what you have on this...Sueanne T.
