Charles Jonathan HUNT SR. lived with his son Charles Jonathan HUNT and his wife Margaret near Vinton, IA in Benton County 1852 - 1865. Jonathan Sr. died approx 1865 at the age of 77. I think he was from NY. Charles Jr. died approx. 1895 age 63. Margaret moved to NE and died between 1905 and 1910 near Loupe City, NE. While in Iowa Charles and Margaret had 9 children: George Washington, Mary Ann, Zurniak or Zuriah, John Daniel, Silas William, Charles Jonathan, Omenzo Granville, Amos Coy, and Margaret Lillian. Any information on Charles Sr., Charles Jr., Margaret (need maiden name), or the children would be greatly appreciated. These people were all great grandparents, grand aunts and grand uncles of mine.

I am seeking descendants of Aaron BARNELL, b. 1813 Columbiana Co. OH, d. 21 Mar 1877, Benton Co. IA, buried in Parker's Grove Cemetery, rural Shellsburg. He m. Elizabeth JOSLIN, 20 Jan 1831, Knox Co. Ohio. They lived in Indiana and Illinois before coming to Iowa in 1868. Their son Eleazer, Co. G, 77th IL, was killed in battle. Apparently Elizabeth never received a mother's pension because she lacked proof of marriage. She was last known to be living in the household of Isaac Ensley, a son in law, in 1887, in Dallas Co. IA, according to pension records of Eleazer. When did she die and where is she buried?

Andrew Jackson VOORHIES, Rachel Rufin ST. JOHN, Moses Jackson DONALD, Arthur Jackson DONALD, Thomas RIDGE, Magdalena SMITH RIDGE, Lavina RIDGE, George Fredrick TANGEMAN, Amelia KROEHNKE, Earl Evertt BROWN, Grace Maud VOORHIES, Barbara RIES. All of the above named ancestors of mine were in Benton County, IA, after 1850 and well into the 1900's. I am interested in all of these families and what was it about Benton County, Iowa that drew people there during the late 1800's. This is the county where all of my family lines come together and I am just interested in knowing more about the county. I would like to know if there is a county history that lists business, farm owners, and the like for the last half of the 1800's. My gg grandfather Andrew Jackson Voorhies owed a store (I think) in Garrison but I have not found it refered to in any history or written description. I do have a timeline by my grandfather, Arthur Jackson DONALD, who married a daughter of the AJ Voorhies, and it states that Donald went into the retail business with his father-in-law in Garrison. Any help would be gratefully appreciated and I am willing and eager to share what I do have.
