Vandevort/Vandervort NE/IA
Looking for children of Joseph Vandevort and Margaret Ellis. Daughter Cynthia was born abt 1863 in IA and son John abt 1867. Joseph married Margaret 28 Jan 1864 in Jackson Co. IA. The family is in Nemaha Co. NE for 1870 census. Margaret and her two children appear in 1880 census in Jackson Co. IA. Margaret is supported by the county and her children are listed as paupers. There is a grave marker in Esgate Cemetery in Jackson Co. with the listing Joseph and Margaret Van Danacker. Only one set of dates appear 1838-1880. I believe this to be Joseph and Margaret Ellis Vandevort. Where did her children go? Her father Jesse Ellis was living in Jackson Co. IA and John was in his household for 1880 census as well as with his mother. Jesse died 20 Jun 1889 and is buried in Esgate Cemetery Jackson Co. IA. Thank you.
