FORD,HALL,STEPHENSON,MILLER Would like to share information with the FORD family about James FORD who married Hester HALL on August 6th, 1883. I believe that James was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth (STEPHENSON) FORD and I know that Hester was the daughter of Eli and Malinda (MILLER) HALL. James and Hester moved to Upland, CA and were there in 1924. If that is the right James FORD he came from a large family and his father had a Tree Nursery.

Wish to confirm a Date of Death for a former Benton county resident who was killed in Algeria (North Africa) during WWII. It is believed that Pfc. Victor C. BUTZ (Army Serial Number 37 045 207) was killed in action on 22-Nov-1942, in Algiers. It is thought that BUTZ was killed by an unseen sniper nearly (2) weeks after Algiers fell to the U.S. troops. BUTZ was a member of Company "M" - 168th Infantry - 34th Division when he died. This information will be used to help complete the death casualty listings for the 34th Division during WWII.

LAMBERT, SHEELY, MATHER I am trying to locate platt maps for Canton Twp and Benton Twp. I checked with the Shellsburg library: they only have as early as about 1920. I have checked with several places in Vinton and there is nothing available in the really early time frame. About a year ago I posted a query for Paul Hoeck and a gentlemen sent me Fremont Twp in 1872. That is what I am looking for for Canton and Benton Twp. Thanks for anything.

Samuel DITCH born 1793 PA left Pennsylvania with his wife Catherine (Katarina) SMYERS born 1796 PA about the fall of 1855 and family including son Daniel born 1822 and second wife Mary (KELLAR) Goodwin. They located in Benton City, Benton County, IA. Catherine Smyers died August 1859 in Benton City, IA. Am interested in locating where Catherine and Samuel are buried. Benton City Cemetery no longer exists and I would like to locate their graves. Samuel filed for his son Henry's Civil War pension (Henry died on September 19, 1862 in Iuka, MS) and Samuel was still alive in 1878, at the age of 85, but I did not find him in the Benton County death records starting year 1880, so I assume he died before that. I am also greatly interested in the parents of Samuel DITCH and Catherine SMYERS. Any help on this family would be appreciated.
