William Thompson family [he may have been married to a Frances Mills]. Little is known of this William except that
he was born in London Grove, Chester County, Pennsylvania (1750 - 55), and
migrated to Washington County, Pennsylvania.
In 1806 he sold his land there and migrated with his sons Aaron,
William Jr., and Joseph to Butler County, Ohio where they joined his other
son James, who had previously gone there and bought land. William Sr. died about 1819 leaving his land
t o William Jr. who was also to care for his widowed wife.

in East Monroe, Ohio, October 5,1882

He was orphaned at the age of 3 and was raised in a military school.
Perhaps the family meant a

great grandfather, Edward McEvoy, and his wife, Bridget
Bradshaw. I know they were married
in Dubuque, Iowa in December 1865.
Edward came to the United States in March, 1861. What would be the best
Catholic Church to go to in Dubuque to try to get baptism information on their
early children (1870 or before). One
child, Michael, who died in 1953, was listed as having been born about
1863 in Dubuque. This is possible, but
I'm trying to get confirmation on that. Also, I understand there's a McEvoy
Street in Dubuque. Does anyone know
after whom it was named?

name is REAL (Irish). Often spelled many ways however
I have advanced enough to know it was spelled REAL for what I am looking for. Thomas
F. REAL born July 10, 1897 to Owen d 1923 and Elizabeth (PENNINGTON)d
1906 REAL in Keokuk Lee CO IA. Married Margaret ATKINS Jan. 27 1920
would like to have any census information on these two families. Thomas and
Margaret may have moved to Des Moines. I would like to know if Thomas and
Margaret had children. Now my plate of
spaghetti!
2. William Edward REAL was born Oct. 1860 in Keokuk
Lee Co. IA, still in family household in 1880 census. According to Lee co.
records he married Ida THOMPSON (from Hancock Co. IL) August 11 or 12
1882 then married Fannie WELKO Aug. 7 1886. I found a death notice in the Chicago Tribune Jan. 1913 for
William Edward REAL listing one son Leroy Patrick REAL and six COOPER
step-children with wife Ada (SARGENT) COOPER. I sent off for a death
certificate and obit for Leroy. Now the questions,
Leroy Patrick REAL was born March 17 1897 in Chicago
mother Ida THOMPSON. The dates do not match as William was married to
WELKO or COOPER by then. Leroy's obit says he was orphaned at an early age and
was raised by George and Julia (THOMPSON) HAMRICK of Fountain Green,
Hancock Co IL. Another fact William Edward REAL had 4 brother's one who was his
twin in Keokuk that I feel would have taken Leroy. Until I had Leroy's death
cert. I thought Ida died and William re-married. Then I looked at the THOMPSON
sisters, father's obit James Hudson THOMPSON died 1902 in Hancock Co. IL
signing the obit was Julia F. HAMRICK and Mrs. Ida A. REAL.
I am confident that all the REAL's in Lee Co IA are related.
Looking for REAL in Cook Co IL has been over-whelming! All the Keokuk REAL's
are buried together in Oakland Cemetery Old Catholic Section except William
Edward and his family. He may be buried at Calvary in Evanston north of Chicago
(I have asked for help in Cook Co but after 4 months have not heard back)
however Ada COOPER REAL is buried at Ridgeway Maine Township IL. The time line
just does not make sense, so close yet so far!
Why, this has all of a sudden become so important is that last Wednesday
I found Leroy Patrick REAL's only child living in KS now 82 years old. She has
nothing on the REAL family as Leroy drowned when she was 3 years old.

paternal grandfather?
He was dropped or taken to the Annie Whitenmeyer (sp) Home in
Davenport as a child during the 1890's and left. We do not know if his brother and two sisters, that we know of,
were left there or not. He was taken by
a family by the name of Heald, hence my maiden name, and raised by them,
but never adopted, so therefore should never have taken that name. He was married with the Heald name, but when
he went to California to apply for a police job, he had to produce a birth
certificate and, therefore, had to revert back to his birth name

died at the Old Soldiers Home in Marshalltown, Iowa in 1907. He was in the Civil War signing up at
Davenport, Scott County, Iowa. I
believe she also had sons by the names of William (Will), Seth, and Benjamin. There may have been other children as this
is based on a letter Martha wrote to Samuel on 07 Feb 1861. This family appears to have come from Ohio,
then Illinois and some on to Iowa.
Martha A-- (Culter) Price was born in about 1795 in Ohio, based one the

Dewitt C. Akin.
I have census evidence that two of his children, Helena Akin, and Dewitt
Akin, Jr. were born in Iowa in 1864 and 1868 respectively so I know that Dewitt
lived in Iowa for at least 4 years.
I know that Dewitt C. Akin was born July 4, 1825 in Port
Byron, New York and that he married Helena St. John September 1, 1845 in
Johnstown, New York. I know that after
they moved to Iowa and lived there for some unknown amount of time, Dewitt and
Helena moved back to New York and lived out their lives in Johnstown.

I now have updated
information on a tank wagon rollover in late Jan 1920.
Lewis (Louis) Williamson drove a delivery oil wagon
and was a salesman for an
oil company out of Sioux City, IA. The wagon overturned,
crushing him. The accident occurred near Climbing Hill, IA. The relative, who
related this story to me, worked from 1937-1940 as an assistant postmaster in
Hornick, IA. The then postmaster in Hornick, Lester Harrison (J.L.H.), lived in
that area all of his life and he remembered of that happening near his home.
