Please help me solve a family mystery. My g-grandfather and his wife Armilda (KERON) lived in Appanoose Co., IA where two children were born. Then in the early 1860's, children of the union were born in Linn County Kansas. After 1866, more children were bron in App. Co., IA again. My theory is that my ggrandfather, sent the family to live with in-laws, while he was away at war (he was wounded, captured--but that is another story). His name was John KINGSBURY. My query: Is there any record of the KERON family in Linn Co. during Civil War times?
