- PERRYMAN

George Washington PERRYMAN, b. 1810-1819,
Columbia, Adair Co. KY, settled in Henry Co. Iowa in 1842 with his
brother Thomas Jefferson Perryman, having come from Russell Co.
KY with others in a covered wagon. Thomas, b. Jan 9, 1821, Adair Co.
KY; m. Feb 23, 1843 in Henry Co. Iowa to Eliza Jane FARLEY,
daughter of Silas FARLEY and Mrs.Cordelia TADE HANNAH. On Nov
5, 1849, George m. Mary Jane BONSELL, b. 1823 PA. In 1854 they
settled in Prairie Township, Mahaska Co., Iowa. Children: Nancy J., b.
1855; m. Ernest SHAAD; James E, b. 1857; Eliza E, b. 1862. In
the 1885 census, an Edmond Perryman age 27 was living with
them. Iowa Census records list W. C. Bonsell, b. @1800, PA, as
a miller. Was he the father of Mary? Census records indicate George
was born c. 1819, but family records indicate he was much older than
his brother Thomas, and 1810 is indicated. Have 1880's letters from
Lida E. Perryman, New Sharon Iowa, to her cousin Lemuel Perryman. She
married Edwin CHEW of Union T.P. (Mar 15, 1888.) Nancy
Perryman: letter dated Feb. 8, 1890 from Mrs L.C. BIDOMAN
confirms that she was Nancy Perryman, sister of George and Thomas, and
mother of May and Nettie. (Major L.C. Bidoman operated the Nauvoo
house in Nauvoo, Illinois. During the anti-Mormon agitation, he was
one of the few gentiles who treated the Mormons fairly. After the
death of Joseph Smith, the widow Emma Smith married Major Bidoman.)
Letters from her daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Jennett ABERCROMBIE
Thomas of Kansas City MO. indicate another daughter, Mrs. May Luce
of Kansas. Does this indicate a first husband for Nancy named
Abercrombie? Letter from Lida Perryman refers to her Aunt Nancy
marrying Major Bidoman, and indicates prior to the marriage and move
to Nauvoo Illinois that Nancy lived in Iowa near her brothers George
and Thomas Perryman. Will exchange copies of letters, other
information with researchers of this family. Jon

- PHELPS
-
We found the cemetery in Mahaska co. where some of the
Phelps were buried. We found Sylvester and his wife, children:
Julia, Sophronia, and Albert. Charles d. in Portland, OR; still
haven't found much on Daniel or Horan. Sylvester Phelps was b.
in CT on May 4, 1786; migrated to OH where he m. Maria Lathrop,
June 24, 1818. In 1848, he came to Mahaska co. where he reamined the
rest of his days. He and his wife are buried in the Baldwin cemetery
in the NW corner of Mahaska co. His son, Charles, lived in Mahaska co.
until some time after 1887, when he moved to Portland, OR. The book I
got this information from (pub. 1887) lists the oldest children (Emma,
Lida, Edna) as residing in KS & NE. William Henry, my
g-grandfather, stayed in Mahaska co and buried in Oskaloosa. The book
state that William H, Julia C, Lyman L, Robert O, and Neta May are
still at home (in 1887). My aunt found a news clipping of William H.'s
funeral that states: He is survived by two sisters, Emma Savage,
of Mitchell, NE; Nita Starker, of Portland, OR; three brothers,
Julius C, and Leslie L. of Portland, OR; and Oliver R. of New Sharon.
I am guessing that the book was the one with the names wrong, as all
of my relatives have referred to them as Julius and O.R. Phelps. So as
far as I can gather, Leslie L, Oliver R, and Nita May must have gone
to Portland with their father and mother. Would contact any relations
with these people. Terry Phelps - Email Needed,
