I am looking for the will of my great, great grandfather Daniel WILLIAMSON, husband of Priscilla Jane YERKES (Jane Williamson). Daniel was born in Indiana about 1825 and died in Vinton, Benton County, Iowa September 10th, 1911. He is buried in the U.B. Prairie Cemetary. He was a resident of Benton county since 1870-1871. His obituary is currently listed here on the Iowa GenWeb site, as excerpted from the Cedar Valley Times. However, I have been unable to find his will or any land records. If someone can help me locate his will or any land records, I would sincerely appreciate it!

I am looking for information on the STIVER family. Balcer & Lucinda (SMYERS) STIVER are listed in Shellsburg in the 1880 and 1900 census records with their daughter, Lura, her occupation was schoolteacher. The history book of Jefferson Co., PA, where the family originated, lists 5 children, Daniel "Webster", James, John, Maude & Lura. The 1880 mortality index lists an Emma, who may also have been their child.
