I am seeking additional information on this family, such as: Is there any record of a divorce between 1860 and 1870? Is there any record of the death of Warren, either in records or local cemetery? Did Warren serve in the Civil War and fail to return home, only getting as far as Saline Co., Missouri? In 1878 my husband's gr-grandfather married Sephronia Story in Shreveport, LA. Warren Portlock only appears in any census in the whole country once in 1860, 1870, and 1880. The 1880 is in Colorado with Sephronia and two children.

Delia was also an Irish immigrant, arriving in the U.S. in 1846. This couple was living in Burlington by 1860. Both died in Burlington and are buried in Sixth Street Catholic Cemetery with four of their children. According to the 1900 and 1910 U.S. census records, Delia Warren gave birth to eight children. Yet I have nine names. The following four children are buried with Joseph and Delia: Frank, Clara, George, and Little Ettie. (Unfortunately, no birth or death dates for the children are listed on the marker.) The following six names appear in census records: Michael R. (b. c. 1856), Clara A. (b. c. 1858), Joseph F. (b. 1860), Charles (b. c. 1864), Katherine (1867-1928; m. Thomas F. WALES), and Anna (b. 1876; m. John N. BAKER). So Clara is accounted for, but what about those other three names on the headstone?
