MULLAN, HUBER

Brian James Mullan February 29, 2004
My grandfather Gene Harold MULLAN was living in Manchester Iowa when I was born (1952) and I assume had been there for some time.   My father William Howard MULLAN graduated from High School in Manchester (I think his class had 12 in it <grin>).
My dad entered the US Marines in WWII and spent several years in the Pacific (Iwo Jima, Guadelcanal) and was selected to be on the 1st ship which landed occupation forces in Japan at wars end.
After the war dad went back to working in the telephone business with his father and eventually retired from what by then was GTE of Iowa.
My Grandfather Gene Harold MULLAN was originally married to a woman named Olla Lucinda Peyton.  Olla from what I was told was murdered by a hitch-hiker she picked up while driving through Kansas around 1956.
Gene Mullan later married a woman named Mame ? .
I am trying to find any information I can about any of these characters....
Olla Lucinda Peyton
     - fathers name was Delbert Peyton & mother's was Nettie ?
Gene Harold MULLAN
Nettie ?
Mame ?
or even my dad... William Howard MULLAN.

My mother's side of the family is this:
Mother:   Catherine HUBER born 1917
parents:   George & Mary HUBER (farmed near Buck Creek Iowa... south of Delhi)
siblings:   Jay, Patrick, Thomas, Don (Duck), Dave, Helen, Lorrie, Clare

My uncle Donald HUBER still lives on my grandfathers farm.
I would like to find out any information you might have on any of these as
well.

We are looking for ANY  information regarding John Tibbitts and his wife Helen V. Tibbitts who resided in South Fork twp., Delaware county, Iowa. I found them in the 1870, 1880 and 1900  census, and they are buried in Hopkinton cemetery. We are putting together a book on the TIBBITTS family and this is one of the brothers we do not have much info on. His parents were THOMAS SODEN TIBBITTS and JANE CATER, both born in Soham, England. John was also born there. He was a brother to my great-great grandfather Samuel Tibbitts and he and John came to Iowa from Illinois before 1870. We believe that John was a farmer, and also raised cattle.

GILMORE, PHILLIPS, DODGE, HALL

Patrick Gilmore May 21, 2004
I am seeking any information about GILMORE and PHILLIPS families in Colony and Delhi Townships, Delaware County, and DODGE and HALL families in Mallory, Clayton County.  My great-great grandfather was Silas GILMORE, first settler of Colony in 1839.  He married Maria (Mariah) PHILLIPS, daughter of Simeon and Esther PHILLIPS of Delhi, in Dubuque in 1844.  Maria was Colony's first "school marm".  Their son, George Jesse GILMORE, born in 1852, married Adelia DODGE, daughter of Trustrum and Adeline DODGE of Mallory, Clayton County, in 1872 or 1873.  George Jesse and Adelia later moved with their two little girls, Cora and Addie, accompanied by Adelia's sister, Emaline DODGE and her husband C.M. HALL, to Ft. Worth, Texas about 1877.  They returned to western Iowa (Ida County) prior to 1884 to join the rest of the Gilmore family, all of whom by then had moved away from Delaware County.  Mariah GILMORE had died in Colesburg and was buried in Delaware County in 1872, however. The DODGE, HALL, and PHILLIPS families remained in eastern Iowa, as far as I know.  ANY information you can provide about any of these families, no matter how little, will be greatly appreciated!

My great and great-great grandparents lived in Delaware County.  Their names were Anson and Susan Shelden and Marcus and Jennie Tilton Shelden.  I found some Civil War reunion ribbons in an old chest that came from my great aunt Grace Clemans home in Manchester.  One says "Tredway Rifles."  Two others are for the Third Reunion of the Twenty First Iowa Infantry Manchester, September 15 and 16, 1887.  There is another ribbon pinned to these that says, "Welcome to Dubuque , June 28, 1898.  I am trying to find out who in my family was in the 21st regiment or the Tredway rifles.  I've had no luck on the internet looking up rosters.  If I could locate a list, I could probably identify my ancestor.  Thanks,

McCUTCHEN

Ty Barth September 17, 2004
Many years ago my grandfather gave me an old collection of Civil War era letters. I am currently transcribing the collection, which I must say is very tedious and time consuming. Anyhow, I came across a number of letters written by one Mollie McCUTCHEN. She appears to have been a teacher at the old college in Hopkington around the close of the Civil War. I was wondering where I could find additional information on her. I also have a number of letters from a Hezekiah Garber that served in the 27th Iowa. I'm not sure yet of his connection to Hopkington or Delaware County. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
