In Response To: Any information (Mary Poland)

Thank you for your reply to my query.

I don't really know where either Eliza or Josiah were in 1850. Eliza was born 12-31-1836 in Indiana. Her parents were Jeremiah Christman and Nancy Riley (Rellie). Her uncle Alonzo Christman was born in Unionville, Appanoose County, Iowa , so we assume that he and her father Jeremiah were brothers and since Josiah and Eliza were married in Appanoose County that her family may have moved there and she may have grown up there. If this is so, it would put her in Appanoose County in 1850 at age 14. Josiah was born 9-22-1832 in Pennsylvania---very likely Greene County. We know that several Poland families moved from Greene County Pennsylvania to Wayne County, Iowa and the area around there and that Josiah would have been in the same time span to have perhaps been related to them, but we have not been able to find anything to confirm this. Josiah and Eliza were married in Appanoose County on December 6,1857. Various members of our Poland line have been trying for 20 years or more to determine the name of Josiah's parents or other relatives, but without success.

Josiah and Eliza had ten children----Mary Ella, John, James, Ida, Lydia, Alice, Kate, Clara, Myrtle and Arthur. Three were born in Melrose, Iowa. Ida on 11-22-1871, James on 4-30-1868 and Lydia in 1866. Alice was born in Ottumwa on 12-17-1863 anad Kate in Uninville, Iowa on 2-23-1862. Mary Ella was born in Missouri in 1858 and John in Missouri on 5-15-1860. Another researcher shows Clara's birthplace to be Indiana, but we question that this is correct. The birh place of Myrtle and Arthur is unknown. The obituary of one of the older children states that he spent his early childhood in and around Des Moines and we have found them on one census there.

Any additional information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
