Koontz 1865 iowa
Looking for family of Koontz associated with Beavers-Gochenour linage of Decatur Co. Iowa, possibly cousin to Hankins linage of 1800's. In my Greatgreat grandfather James Beavers book was a poem written by him. The poem makes me think it was the revolutionary war time. Speaks of ship Bonita Bay. I will research this more if I have any contacts. Georgie Ann Hankins-Waddell
We had a lot of family inlist in the 34 Iowa Calvary, Company D, It may of been a friend but more likely a cousin to the Beavers- Riddle- Gochenour (spelling wrong)
