DOUGHTY/KENNEDY Looking for death information on Eli M. DOUGHTY, b. 11 Feb 1798 who farmed in Section 3 of Jefferson Township, Poweshiek County from 1854. Sometime before 1880 and at least through 1885 (State Census), he was living with the Daniel A. Kennedy family (daughter Margaret's husband). I assume that he died in Belle Plaine. Thank you

Parents; Jacob BRUMWELL and Mary JACKSON
Note; When Jacobs wife Sarah died, his children had his body removed to Evergreen Cemetery in Vinton. They left his original head stone at Mt Pleasant Cemetery,as the wanted a newer one. The reason they removed his body is because hogs from the neighboring farm kept getting into Mt Pleasant Cemetery, eating the flowers and rooting around. This story about the hogs was told to me by my Grandmother, Freda Williams Rasley KIME, Jacob and Sarah's Granddaughter. My Grandmother's sister and Brother, plus my Dad who was told about the hogs by his Grandmother Fannie Brumwell Williams, a daughter of Jacob and Sarah Brumwell.

Jacob and Sarah came to Benton City, Benton County, Iowa in 1859. They moved to 160 acre farm in Eden Township in 1860. They later moved back to Benton City in 1870 and operated a mill there for about ten years.

I am looking for ancestors for John ROBERTSON who was born on October 24, 1841 in Perthshire, Scotland. Family lore states that he had to leave Scotland in a hurry, and took a job on a boat as a steward and jumped ship just before the ship docked. This is the descendancy of John ROBERTSON, George ROBERTSON (son), Thomas ROBERTSON (Great grandson).
