  • Roger Peters - The Bellingwolde, NL area was home to many of the people in Kanawha, Iowa with Dutch or German ancestry.

BAILEY / WASHBOND
  •  Toni Pralle - Johnathan A. Bailey/ Nancy Washbond; Raleigh, Lambert (their sons) and the newspaper man Bailey.  I would especially like to find Mattie Ida Bailey, the daughter of Alonzo Moody Bailey, John's nephew, listed as living with Lambert's family.  She was driving the team when lightening struck Raleigh in 1876.  Johnathan died 1875, Twin Lakes, Hancock, Iowa.  According to Raleigh's obituary she had lived with them for a "few years".  I haven't found her in the 1870 or 1880 census living there so she must have been there between census. She would have been 10 at the time of Raleigh's death. POSTED FEB 2013
