Age-wise my Jonathan could be a brother to your Alfred, however I have never heard any reference to living in Iowa.Jonathan was born 1818 in TN, we believe in Grainger Co.However, I have been unable to find any proof of that, no birth certificate (too early for this, I know), nor baptismal certificate nor marriage license, although I have combed the whole state for the last.
If Alfred was born in Warren Co. I wonder if Jonathan could have been too and later moved to Iowa for some reason?All I know for sure is that by 1850 he and Mary Jane Vandergrift Stanley are in Dade Co., MO with several kids and they never leave that county again.
You mentioned Jonathan's descendents.Do you have names/dates?I'd be interested in seeing those.
