Will be glad to furnish all sources. Birth dates for this family were difficult to determine because most of the children, as well as Jonathan, Jr. and Polly, could not read nor write. I have tried to use the ages furnished in the early census in Iowa when they were living close by each other and more apt to remember about how old they might be. ************************************************** Copyright © 2005 by Mary H.
