My grandmother, Emily Evelyn Bennett, came to Iowa on the Orphan Train from Yonkers, New York. I am not sure of the date because her birth certificate was destroyed in a court house fire. I believe she was born around 1800. She was adopted by a lady named Dot Brace in Spencer, Iowa, who was a teacher. Would love any information on the Orphan Train riders or Dot Brace. Thanks.
