DETLEFSEN'S IN IOWA

I am looking for information on the Detlefsens who came from Schlesweig-Holstein (possibly Kiel of Hamburg) to Davenport, Scott County, Iowa about 1880. Maria Detlefsen Spring was my greatgrandmother. Her siblings were Hans, Claus (to MN in 1900), and Maggie. There father seems to have been Christian Defletsen. Maggie was married to Wilhelm Morhman and later a Grotewald. Her children were Carl, Gust, and Ethel. Maria and Hans Spring lived at Davenport IO, Luverne MN, Milnor ND, and Bow Island Alberta Canada. A Friedrick and a Heinrich Defletsen were naturalized in Scott County Iowa in 1889. Could these be relatives? Does anyone have data on them?
