I am looking for information on my paternal Grancmother's paternal grandmother. Emmas Susan jones born may 27, 1846 in Iowa, Her parents were David Jones, and Mary Wade. Mary Wade Jones was originally from timonium, Baltimore,maryland. since Iowa did not become a state until December of 1846, I am wondering if i need to look somewhere other than Iowa for federal census, marriage, birth, divorce, death records. any help would be appreciated. Emma susan jones did end up marrying a guy by the name of smith (possibly original name was taleferro, and he was from venice italy), she then remarried Charles Howe
