Documentation and Sources:
History of The Shinn Family in Europe and America, by Josiah H. Shinn, A.M., published by the Genealogical and Historical Publishing Company.

The above history says Charles Ivins was a prosperous farmer in Burlington County, NJ but, in 1841, he disposed of his farm and moved to Nauvoo, Illinois.  "Finding the Mormons of that region inimical to Gentile settlers" he moved to LaHarpe, Illinois and engaged in farming but later moved back to Nauvoo and published a newspaper - the Nauvoo Expositor - which was critical of Joseph Smith. After publishing one issue, "the Danites" destroyed his presses "and threatened to destroy the publisher." He then moved to Keokuk, Iowa.

1879 Lee County History, Biographical Sketches
Keokuk, City (biography of W.S. Ivins) as follows:

IVINS, W. S., proprietor of the Keokuk Omnibus and City Livery Stable, office, 
Third st., between Main and Johnson; born in Burlington Co., N.J., in 1824; 
came to Keokuk in 1841; kept "The Boat Store" from 1846 until 1848; in 1850, he 
became proprietor of the "Ivins House" and engaged in the hotel business until 
1853, when he went to California; returned to Keokuk in 1855, and engaged in 
the real estate business until 1857; in 1858, he started his present business 
and has since continued it with good success.  In 1849, he married Miss V. W. 
Wilcox; she was born in Warsaw, Ill., in 1832; they have three children-Eva N. 
(now Mrs. R. Johns), Elizabeth, William S.  Mrs. Ivins is a member of the
