Orth in Hesse, Illinois and Iowa
I have found additional information about one of the two Leonard Orths that I mentioned in an earlier message on this forum. I thought that I would post it in case anyone comes along looking for this family. I have no additional information - but would like to know how or if this family is related to the Leonard Orth in the 1870 census in Grundy County, Missouri - which was not far away from this family in Wayne County, Iowa.

Since the family had clearly lived in Illinois, I checked the online marriages for that State and found these of interest. I am assuming that the stepchildren in the census are either Glowes or Groves - children of Mary Elizabeth's by her first husband. Catharine Orth b. 1860 might be a daughter by Leonard's first marriage.
