~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Judge John Henry Conrad was the son of Ephraim Conrad (1800 NC - 1900 CA) and Sarah D. Oakley (1812 NC - 1897 CA) of Stokes, now Forsythe County, North Carolina.
The family migrated from NC to Iowa where Ephraim Conrad settled and the town of Moravia was laid out and platted June 27, 1851, by Joseph Stauber, Theophilis Vierle and Ephraim Conrad.
Looking for information on one of the 5 sons of Ephraim and Sarah D. Oakley Conrad. He was Christian Conrad, born about 1835 in NC, no further information on Christian. Any help appreciated.
