Thomas Torrance Sr and his wife Mary Barr were married in 1856 in Carbon Co, in the Presbyterian Church in Mauch and removed at some date to Powehiek, Jefferson township. From Judy Hergeshemimer there were two brothers, Thomas, above, and William with Unknown. Judy states William had 11 children and Thomas Sr, had 8. I am unable to find any information about William but found information on Thomas Sr and his wife Mary as follows:
Thomas Torrance and Mary Barr had 8 children. I have found 7. Have families for 5 of the children: William S and wife Mary Elizabeth; Thomas Jr and Florence; Susannah; who never married; Walter Raymond who married twice - Arbana and Ada Mae Benton; and Benjamin Franklin who married Ione Shannon.
From the Grave Stone Records of Poweshiek, the famiies are buried in two cemeteries-100F and Hartwick.
I am hoping that someone might have aditional information on the above famiies. I will share other information I have on the parents of Thomas Sr, from Northern Ireland.
