Hi all -- this is my first visit to Wayne Co.
I am looking for verification that Mrs. Milton McGill was indeed the former Miss Emma Ryker from Jefferson Co Indiana.
Emma McGill died May 19, 1905 Wayne County Iowa near Allerton according to the Ralph Richard Williams tree on Ancestry. This is news to the Ryker researchers, and I am looking for any kind of verification since this tree is unsourced. An obit, death certificate, tombstone, anything at all.
As of now, the only thing we have to verify it is the 1870 Warren Twp., Wayne Co., Iowa census where a Rachel Ryker, the right age and name as Emma Ryker's sister, is living with the Milton McGill family.
Can anybody help?
Thanks!
P.S. I am also looking for Rachel Ryker who dropped off the census map in 1870. She might have married or died in Warren twp. between 1870 and 1880. (She also might have been swept off her feet by an old beau and returned to Indiana, who knows?)
