Hi, my great great grandfather (Fred W Benedix) married a Christina Jensen around 1873(Davenport/LeClaire IA area). Moved to Avoca, IA for a short while before being one of the early settlers in Pierson, IA (Woodbury County). My gggrandfather lived from 1844-1939. Both are buried in Greenwood Cemetary south of Pierson. I believe that they had 9 children (7 girls and 2 boys). The Benedix family were from Plau, Germany (Mechlenburg area). Immigrated to the US in 1852
