I'm searching for info. on Alfred MOORE who apparently lived in Benton Co. during the 1840's. Alfred was my great great grandfather. I have traced his son (my great granddad DOB 1842) Simon MOORE to Monterey, CA. Simon's death cetificate states that he was born in Cedar Rapids which is Linn Co., not Benton Co. Unfortunately, the info. on the death certificate may or may not be correct. I have no info. on Alfred's wife or their other children. Does anyone have any info. on my ancestors?

My grandfather, Fred L. MCCOY, was born in Vinton, IA on 12/6/1856. His father, Thomas Franklin , migrated there from Mansfield, OH and shortly thereafter moved on to Algona, IA. T.F. was a doctor. It is possible that this family was associated in some way with James ECCLES/ECKLES. Dr. McCoy may also have owned a land grant in Keokuk Co IA.
