Family history says George went from Wales to London and married Maria La Savage there in the 1840's. They emmigrated to Iowa with their two sons, David and Henry, in the 1850's/60's. Also with them were David's wife Emma and her mother, Delia Rice. They became involved with a 'gang' - a family named Rangebarger who were a local 'wild bunch' in central Iowa in the 1860's and 70's and terrorized the area, stealing horses and cattle, among other things. Henry married one of the Rangebarger girls and was purportedly a lawyer attempting to defend them in court but was killed by Rangebargers. Searching for information on George, Maria and Delia's origins.
