I am most interested in finding data on my ggggrandmother, Maria GALARNEAU, who states on the WI National Census, that she was born in IA in the 1820's. The story in our family is that one of four people (RICHARD, LA POINTE, GALARNEAU, or FOUNTAINE) who were married in Pairie DuChein, WI was a Native American. I thought maybe Maria was that one....no way to prove the theory if I can't find a record of the GALARNEAUs in Iowa.
I know many of my ancestors/relatives ended up in Keokuk, Lee, IA. after living in MO, IL, CO etc. .... the DAMANs, WELCHes, RICHARDs and LA POINTEs and FOUNTAINE's. As a matter of fact, some still live there. My gr uncles and gr grandfather worked in a sugar factory in Keokuk in the very eary 1900s. My gr grandfather and gr grandmother, Eli RICHARD and wife Idel (Adele) FOUNTAINE RICHARD, are buried in the IA National Cemetary. My gr grandfather, Francis Marion DAMAN was in a veterans hospital there that later burned down... would also like to know more about his time there...Is there any way I can find out the Indian tribes that were in Lee County in the 1800s? What churches were there that kept birth, death or marriage records? What territory was IA in 1820?
Can you give me any answers or further information? My name is Marti Wade. I was in your fair city in 1936 to visit my great Aunt Lena and again in 1990 with my husband to check out some of my ancestral roots and enjoyed it so, found the people very wonderful!

Madison, Iowa City Directory as a widowed woman. Helen was my grandmother. She was supposedly left on a doorstep of a church shortly after her birth, est. 1 SEP 1894, and was raised by Mrs E. ALCOTT.
In 1909 Helen ALCOT is listed as a student and residing with a Charles ALCOT, who worked at Anthes House Restau., at 1806 Division Street in Ft. Madison, IA. In 1909-1910 ALCOTT, Elenor (wid wm) and ALCOTT, George, foreman Sante Fe, resided at 3012 Shawnee, Ft. Madison, IA. In 1915 SMITH, Frank L.

I am looking for my ancestors on my mother's side of the family. I need to know more about any ALCOTT listed here. I believe that Helen may have been an offspring of one of the ALCOTT family, perhaps a niece.

The last name on the marriage certificate in Lee County when she married Marcus Hull was listed as AUSTIN.
Family folklore also has it that she is the daughter of grand-daughter of CHIEF KEOKUK. I don't know the dates when Moses Keokuk, Chief Keokuk's son was born, but my Elizabeth E. may even be his sister. I can't connect this for sure It is said that Phoebe Keokuk (named after a bird) may be Chief Keokuk's daughter who married Henry Millage.Family folklore also has it that Elizabeth E. was Cherokee. However, Keokuk is Sac indian.
Elizabeth E. Millage and Marcus Hull had the following daughters and one son in Lee County, Iowa: 1) Sidney Hull (a son I believe) died the same year Nancy Hull was born. He was still an infant. 2) Elizabeth Hull (was a deaf-mute).3) Sara Elizabeth Hull married John Marion CARROLL on 25 April 1866 in Navada, Vernon County, Missouri. Sara & John Carroll settled in Iberia, Madden County, Missouri and died there. Nancy Hull married Henry Washington CARROLL 1 May 1876.
Marcus Hull served in the Civil War. Sara Elizabeth Hull applied for a pension after Marcus Hull died from injuries sustained during the war (he was 58 years old, too old to fight, but he served in the Civil War by picking up injuried and dead bodies off the battlefield--he suffered from major hernias as it is said that "everything fell out".) Sara was left destitute and had to move in with one of her daughters after being forced to sell her home.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can help me confirm any info at all on this part of my ancestry.

I would like to gather information about my great great grandfather
and mother. I believe that they settled around Jefferson County. My new
suspicions are that they might have lived in West Point, Lee County, Iowa.
I know that my great great grandfather was Benjamin Franklin SNOOK and
he married Catherine Mary MOORE. I do not know who his parents were but
I do know that he was born in June of 1835 in Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio.Catherine
MOORE was born in Bloomington Indiana on Feb 27, 1837 to Samuel MOORE and
Mary SEIRS MOORE.
If any of you have any info on these relatives or others please email me

Looking for information for Henry Harrison (Tip) GIFFORD, born 20 Nov 1876
in Keokuck. Married Elizabeth Gertrude (Gertie) ANDERSON 4 Mar 1895, probably
in New Mexico. They had four boys, Willilam Alexander (Alex), Henry Fredrick
(Fred), Thomas Edward (Tom), and Joseph Allen (Al). He worked for his father-in-law
A.C. ANDERSON at a saw mill near Taos, New Mexico during 1899 and 1900.
He had at least one brother, Allerine (spelling? ) who was working for
immigration in El Paso, Texas in about 1917. Tip and Gertie separated in
1904 and he went to Canada. They are my grandparents and I have information

to know about his parents and siblings. Any help would sure be appreciated.
