I am looking for any information on my grandfather - John HENDERSON. Born in Ark but moved to Iowa as a child. His orignal name is Johnny Qua Henderson, he had it legally changed when he was 18 the reason we believe is because he is part Native American (seminole). He married a Vera and moved to Benton county in the 30's-50's. Any information would be welcomed.

I am attempting to research the history of the KENNEDY / SWAFFORD family that lived in Belle Plaine, Benton County, IA from at least the 1860's. Benjimin Swafford, born in 1842/3 in Mercer County after serving in the Illinois 27th Regiment/G Company in the Civil War returned to Mercer County to farm, married Jane Teeman, probably in Mercer County in 1864, then moved in 1866 to Poweshiek County, IA and became a farmer and stock-raiser in section 13, Belle Plaine. Their daughter, Carrie was born on Dec 23, 1876 and married James Edgar Kennedy, also of Belle Plaine on February 28, 1894. James' father was Benjimin Kennedy and that is all that is known about the Kennedys. James Edgar died on Feb 18, 1903 and Carrie re-married, dying in 1967 in Belle Plaine. James and Carrie had a son, Earl Eugene Kennedy b. Sep 5, 1896 in Belle Plaine. Thank you in advance.
