Well the first wife of Capt Croghan, Ida Rose (see below) is a Aunt to the cousin-in-law I am working the line for. She is Scenna Terrell Gorden and lives in Dow City, Crawford Co., IA. I live in Huntington Beach, CA. Ida and Scenna's mother Bessie Rose Terrell were sisters. I worked on her lines a few years ago, but every once in a while I find a tad more here or there to add and then just last week I had contact from another researcher who is connected to Capt's mother Rebecca Pruett. I had often wondered what became of Capt until I found him one day in Ancestral File and saw where he was buried in Butte Co., CA (I think you are the submitter). Do you by chance know where Benjamin's wife Rebecca Pruett Croghan ended up or is buried or what became of her? The other researcher does not have that information either. I have cemetery records from Shelby Co. where Rebecca and her kids ended up, but I do not find her in any of those records. By 1880 and they are living with Rebecca's people in Grove Twp., Shelby Co., IA. She and I think 2 of the kids are living with a family named Hankins and then three of her children are with one of her brothers and her parents. They all live next to one another on farms in Grove Twp., Shelby Co., IA.
