Augustus was a trader who traveled from Illinois and Iowa to Texas trading horses. This is in the 1900 Census in Iowa, Wapello County, Ottumwa City, Center Twp and they live in a tent. In 1910 they were in Des Moines, Polk Co., IA on Church Street. In 1920 they were in Rock Island, IL and in the 1930 census they are in Davenport, IA on Rockingham Road. I have not located them in the 1880 census but according to family stories they were in Coles County, IL farming. In 1884, the birth record for their 5th child, a male, states that both are natives and Augustus' occupation is a trader. I believe this is all correct. I do not have the documentation with me at this time but if you e-mail me, I will be glad to supply you with the information on where you can obtain it. ************************************************** Copyright © 2006 by Joyce Mortell.
