This picture and data was sent to me thanks to Mrs. Marjorie J. Reddick. Permelia (Lee) married Thomas in 1850 in Marion County, Iowa and they had 10 children, 2 of whom died early: Albert; Nancy Victoria who married Wm Payne Smith; Mary Ellen; John; Benjamin; George; Ella; Laura; Samuel F.; and Lillian, who married a Mr. Mathis, all of whom were born in Marion County, Iowa. Thomas Jr.'s parents are buried at the Liberty Cemetery in Orange County, Indiana. Sometime after 1880, Thomas Jr. and Permelia moved to Louisiana. He died 24 Dec 1909 at the Belluevue Plantation on the edge of Jeanerette. After his death, Permelia moved back to Iowa to be near her children. She died 20 July 1912 and she and at least two of her children are buried at the Overton Cemetery in [Tracy], Knoxville Twp, Marion County, Iowa.
Date & Place:
at Jeanerette in Iberia County, Louisiana
My name is Shantel Carr and my great grandfather is George W. Carr born in Texas around 1884, but on the census I found his mother or father? were from Iowa. Could this be his family??
I do not know that the family ever moved to and lived in Texas. I recommend that you contact Marjorie Reddick ([contact link]) who is very familiar with Thomas and Permelia's line. I hope she can help you.
