Stephen Benjamin and Asenath Gilbert in Iowa, 1880
I am looking for information on the whereabouts of Stephen Benjamin Gilbert, and his wife, Asenath, in 1880.I am 99.9% certain that they were in Iowa in 1880, as their children were born there, and Asenath died and was buriedin Cass County, Iowa in 1881.They resided in Cerro Gordo County, Harrison County, and Dubuque County, also.If anyone can help me with finding them in the census records, I would be extremely grateful.Children that would be listed on the census are:Jarvis B. (20), Minervia (16), Sarah Jane (14), Jephta (13) [may not be on census], S. Ben (11) [another Stephen Benjamin?], Ebenezar (9), George W. (5), and Lewis (3).These are the ages they would be in 1880.
Also, I have been told that Stephen may possibly be buried in the Spring Valley cemetery in Monona County, Iowa.If anyone can confirm or refute this, I would like that information, also.
Thanks for the help!
