Dallas County is a short drive west of Des Moines. There are many roads leading to Dallas County, but the prominent one is I-80 which runs east and west along the southern edge of the county. Dallas' neighbors are Polk County to the east, Greene and Boone counties to the north, Guthrie County to the west and Madison County to the south. Adair County shares the southwest corner and Warren County shares the southeast corner. Since most of our families were not conscious of county borders, and they lived along a border, then there's an excellent chance that there is evidence of their existence in both counties. So be sure to do searches in the neighboring county(ies). |
