Re: surname BeardFrom: [email protected] CommentsI do not know of the specific names requested but my grandfather, Roscoe Beard, lived in Black Hawk Co. Iowa(borders Bremer Co.). Please get in touch with me. Chariton, Lucas County, IowaFrom: [email protected] CommentsI wonder if anyone can help me? I have been given a very old letter. It comes from my grandmothers family. They came from Lincolnshire, England. It was written by Joseph Toynton (I believe he is my grandmothers uncle) It has no date on the letter and the only address is "Direction - Joseph Toynton, Mr S.W. Mallory, Charinton Lucas Iowa, Western States America." From looking on the internet I have established that he means Chariton, Lucas County. From what he says in the letter I have dated it at 1846. As he talks about being with the mormons, I understand they were in the area during the winter of 1846/47. He was working for Mr. Mallory looking after some animals and he had a house near his work with his wife who died. He writes in the letter, addressed to his sons, daughter and family, about his wife dying and being buried by the United States Company. If there is anyone who can help with any other information it would be gratefully received as he talks about going on to California. [_private/disc3_aftr.htm] |
