Research Notes
A. On the 1850 census, we can see that the first born, James was born in Virginia whereas the second born, David was born in Ohio. The family migrated from Virginia to Ohio sometime between 1810 and 1826.
B. The second through the sixth children were born in Ohio. The family resided in Ohio from at least 1827 to 1837.
C. The last child, Anthony, was born in Ohio in 1837. The family appears in Iowa on the 1850 census; the family must have migrated from Ohio to Iowa sometime between 1827 and 1837.6) in Mahaska County, Iowa. She was buried at Centennial Cemetery.[9]
Note: On the 1830 census, there is an additional child that has not been attributed to this family (one boy aged 5 - 9). There is also a man aged 20 to 29 and a woman aged 15 to 19 also present. It is possible (likely) that another couple and their baby are living with Michael and Sarah, perhaps a 21 year old man & his 19 year old wife. This couple could be siblings, cousins, or boarders.
