I am requesting a query on the birth date of my great Grandfather John H Jackman. The US
census for 1880 shows the family living in Adair County Iowa, and the Iowa 1885 Census
shows the same location. John married Margaret E Stansberry 24 Dec 1879 in Van Buren
County at the home of George Stansberry. The children of this marriage are:
George Rolland Jackman b 13 Dec 1880 (My grandfather)
James Bernard "Jim" Jackman b 13 Dec 1882
Lois L Jackman b 13 May 1886
Clayton C "Alfred" Jackman b 9 Mar 1889
George Rolland Jackman married Levada Inez Lundin 23 Aug 1905 in Marshalltown Iowa. My
father Lester Bernard Jackman was born in Clemons Iowa 16 Jul 1906. My uncle Richard
Harold Jackman b Clemons 16 Jan 1908. The family moved to Carmangay Alberta in Feb 1910.
The latest information I have found was the 1920 and 1930 census.
Alfred was in Marshalltown Iowa and Jim was in wisconsin. Lois was married in living in
alemada Ca at the time of her passing in 1955. I need information on John H Jackman or
my great uncles Jim and Alfred to trace the family back to Ireland where 3 brothers
immigrated from during the Irish Potato Famine. Any help would be most appreciated.
