Dr. James WIDNER, wife Elizabeth IA
I am searching for information on Dr. James WIDNER and his wife Elizabeth SHERROD.They were married in Garden Grove, Iowa sometime between 1855-1857.They had two children, Francis Marion b. 1857 and Alice b. 1859 in Adams Co., IA.James enlisted with Company H., 4th Iowa Infantry during the Civil War and was transferred to the surgeon's staff.He was wounded at Lookout Mountain and crippled from then on.
I know he had 2 brothers who he went to the California gold rush with in 1849.I'm not sure if he was born in Ohio or Pennsylvania or who his parents were.
Thanks
Barb
