My g-g-grandparents were married in Marion County, Iowa on 2/23/1865. They were William McBETH and Adaline (MOSIER) McBETH. Their son Dennis McBETH was born in 1866; he was my g-grandfather. Dennis married Susan LAYMON, and their eldest daughter Cora Mae married Samuel Robert REED. Their only son, Carl Robert REED was my father. I cannot find any info. on William's parents and/or siblings. He supposedly had a brother, Addison McBETH, according to my great aunt. Since she is the youngest of the 5 children of Dennis & Susan, she does not remember much at all, and does not have any family records. Dennis had 3 brothers, Lester Floyd, Perry, Ulysses, and Charles; and one sister, Alpha Goldie, who married George Ricketts in Fremont County, IA. William & Adaline are buried at Blanchard Cemetery in rural Fremont County, Iowa, near Percival. Susan is listed as being buried there, too, but there is no marker to be found. My aunts, as well as my great aunt have told me that Dennis is also buried there, but there is no listing and no marker. My great aunt also said that she believed Ulysses & Perry were buried at this cemetery - no evidence there either. I would like to be contacted by e-mail if anyone has any information on my g-g-grandparents, or g-grandparents. Thank you,
