William H. NEWENHAM expired on June 4, 1929 in Lee County, Iowa. His

Can you help me? Her dad was Jesse WALKER (The Little Chief-have you

Dixon, Lee County: We are searaching for information about John Francis DOWLING and his wife Mary JORDAN. They were married about 1865-1868. Their first child was born in 1868. John and Mary both came from Ireland. They finally settled in Burlington, Iowa, but because the family has a picture of them in Dixon, Lee County Iowa, we wonder if they didn't live there at one time. They also lived in Chicago for a time before moving to Burlington. John worked for the railroad. We are searching for their marriage date and where their first children were born as well as where they came from in Ireland. Candace Wilhelm ADWCMW@aol.com.

Looking for connection between NOON (or NOONAN) family and Patrick DOLAN (a
35 year old Irishman who lived near Keokuk) who died at Donner Pass winter
1846-47. The NOON family story is that "a Noon died at Donner Pass" but list
of Donner Pass emigrants does not reveal the name Noon or Noonan. However,
my ggf was John Dolan Noon and remembering how the Irish named children, the
Dolan may be a family surname. Both Patrick Dolan and John Dolan Noon were
born in Ireland about the same time. John Dolan Noon' s son, David Albert
Noon married Catherine Rexroat, daughter of Abraham Rexroat of this county.
Looking for any information in newspapers etc about Keokuk family links to
Donner Pass and its emigrants to prove this family story.
Seeking any information on Amos NEWBERRY b abt 1822 in Pa., wife Catherine (TAYLOR) b. Pa. In the 1850 Perry twp., Clarion co., Pa. census they had children: Jacob age 6, Alben age 3 and Mary age 1.

I believe he is the brother of Albion born abt 1810-11 in another query on this site. I also believe he is the Amos,listed as a private in the Civil War Co. A 15th Reg. Inf. Civil War organized in Lee co. Any information on this family, Iowa census records, additional children, descendents, etc. would be appreciated. Will share information on Catherine's TAYLOR family.
