On coming toIowa, Mr. A. had enough to buy but ten acres of land and $2.50 in money.Hope this is a help, I have just the Bio's from the book as our orginal book is in the Plano, Iowa Meusem on loan for people to use. It was found in the old Rinehart family home and my Dad donated it to the Meusem for researchers. It had gotten in pretty bad shape from use and I had it rebound a couple years ago. Let me know if I can be of any more help, I have two History books from Greene co, Pa. as my Rinehart's came from there and according to my late Great Uncle John Rinehart his father was one who lead seveal families to southern Iowa, Sarpy Co., Neb. and on to California before settling north of Plano.
