In Iowa, L.J.Manbeck left his home, running away from Medical School to become an army scout at Ft. Randall, took a homestead claim in Douglas Co. Dakota, married into the Chambers families whose Father, three brothers and three sisters came in from Fulton Co. Ill. The Chambers women died easily on the fierce prairie. To Davison County came the weary Hilgendorf family, tired of the hard life down in Nebraska. The Martells and Woodwards were already in Hutchinson County. And up in Grant County, Thomas Vandervelde came in to run the cheese factory, to meet Cora Porter from a long line of Porter and Bates pioneers. And we are adding the Dickerson family since the marriage of daughter Rose to Pat Dickerson of Georgia.
And just to keep it all in perspective, the many lines of South Carolina and Georgia patriot Indian Trader is offered for those interested in Creek Indians, Slaves, and the Revolutionary War in the South.
