I am researching the WILEY family. They moved to Ringgold County in the 1850's. Abner T. Shannon WILEY moved with his sons Samuel and Alexander. I don't know if Abner's wife Jean WEATHERLY made it to Iowa. Samuel's first wife Nancy BRANDON died in Iowa and he remarried a Malenia BROWN. Alexander had one wife that I know of and that was Elizabeth Jane STEWART. They all died in Ringgold. Thank you for your help.

Looking for informaton on Benjamin MILLER and family. They resided in Jefferson Township, Ringgold Co., Iowa. Benjamin married Sara Ellen RUBY about 1862 there in Ringold. Children: Elizabeth b. 1863, Ida b.186?, Sara 1868, Velia Melinda b. 24 Feb. 1870, Amos b. 1872, James b. 1874 and Laurana b. 1879. I am a descendant from Velia Melinda who married Francis Logan Smith and died at age 31. I am mainly concerned about finding a death record for Benjamin. I have been unable to find him in any census after 1880. His family can be found in that area and I am sure he remained there untill his death.

I also have information on the Damon/Rockwod family if anyone can help or needs help with that line. Anxious for a reply. Kacy

I have been searching for a Harry KING for a number of years and I think I may have found him in Ringgold County, Iowa. According to the SSDI he was born 3 March 1888 and died December 1974 in Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa. He was the son of James Albert KING and Ella Kalahar KING. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how I might have the local newspaper in Mount Ayr checked for an obituary. I would make this request via U. S. Mail if someone would advise me of an address; I am also willing to pay an appropriate fee for this service. Thanks very much.
